SEAN “Diddy” Combs’ twin girls Jessie and D’Lila have released a clothing line just days after their father was convicted.
Their music mogul father, 55, was acquitted of the most serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking this week after a weeks-long trial in Manhattan, New York.

But he was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and remains behind bars ahead of his sentencing hearing.
His family are now trying to move on with their lives as Combs faces sentencing which could leave him imprisoned for years.
Twin 18-year-olds Jessie and D’Lila have now announced the launch of their clothing line – with the bizarre name 12Twinty1 – in a post to Instagram.
They said: “We’ve been waiting our entire lives for this moment – and it’s surreal to finally share it with you.
“This isn’t just a brand. It’s our story. Our bond. Our roots.
“@12twinty1 was created with purpose, built from who we are, not just what we wear.
“The name reflects our birthday, December 21st, but it means so much more:
- “[The number] One is bold, fearless, and marks the beginning of something powerful.
- “[The number] Two speaks to love, connection, and harmony, the essence of our twinhood.
“We’ve spent so much time pouring our hearts into creating a brand that speaks to everyone.
“It’s more than fashion, it’s about identity, confidence, and being seen.
“This is just the beginning.
“Stay tuned. We cannot wait to grow this with you.”
The pair have a whopping 780,000 followers on Instagram and the post has quickly racked up tens of thousands of likes.
But they have not shared any pictures or drawings of their clothes yet.

Their father Combs had his own clothing line called Sean John, which is still owned by the disgraced rapper.
But he won’t be making too many sales from the brand anytime soon after he was found guilty of two counts of transportation for purposes of prostitution.
Each charge has a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, but they have no minimum punishment.
That potential sentencing could have been a lot longer if he had been convicted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
Combs and his family appeared elated at the news, and the rapper said “I’ll be home soon” to his mom as he walked out of the courthouse.
However, legal experts have warned that he shouldn’t celebrate too soon, as they speculate that the rapper will likely have to spend some time behind bars.
BUSINESS EMPIRE
The star was running multiple businesses before his scandal, including Revolt TV, which he founded, and his fashion brand Sean John, which vanished from Macy’s.
Combs also reportedly lost a Hulu reality series deal.
However, his music catalog remains intact for the time being.
Combs kept his label Bad Boy Records relevant before he was arrested and backed the likes of Machine Gun Kelly‘s ‘Mainstream Sellout’ in 2022.

In 2023, he also dropped The Love Album: Off the Grid, his first solo album in nearly two decades.
The same year, singer Janelle Monae also released her celebrated record The Age of Pleasure through Bad Boy.
Asked if he thinks he could build his empire back up, Faddis said, “It’s not unheard of in America for folks who have, you know, been formerly disgraced to kind of make a comeback.
“I think he’s going to try [but] whether America has the stomach for that at this point is an open question.
“I think, legally speaking, it is certainly a victory for Diddy, but I think we [have] to be careful, because there are a lot of sensitive issues at play here, just because the jury found that he was not guilty. That’s not the same as finding that he was innocent.
“What the jury found was that the Government couldn’t meet its burden with respect to those charges. That’s not the same as saying those things didn’t happen.”
Combs was previously forced to apologize to fans after previously denying physically assaulting ex Ventura when CNN published an exclusive hotel surveillance video from 2016.
The footage showed Combs appearing to grab, shove, drag, and kick the singer in a hotel hallway.
“My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video,” he said in a video statement posted on Instagram.
“I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now,” he added. “I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”
Combs fell to his knees on Wednesday when the verdict was read out in a Manhattan courtroom, and he was acquitted of the most serious charges in his criminal case.
The U.S. Sun obtained a letter from the prosecution sent to Judge Arun Subramanian regarding the star’s sentence for two counts of engaging in prostitution, which is yet to be decided.
They say the guideline sentence for him is just 51 to 63 months [five and a half years maximum], and he has already been behind bars for nine months.
It reads, “The Government notes, however, that the Guidelines applicable at sentencing may be higher than this preliminary calculation.
“The Government has not had adequate time to carefully
consider all potentially applicable Guidelines provisions.”
