Diddy’s twin daughters, 17, celebrate homecoming dance while rapper awaits trial on sex trafficking charges
Diddy’s twin daughters celebrated their homecoming dance this week – while their rapper father is behind bars awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Diddy was arrested last month on federal charges of racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation for purposes of prostitution – and is incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, a prison that previously held Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and R Kelly.
Jessie and D’Lila Combs, 17, whose mom is the late Kim Porter, posed up in matching orange dresses and heels in a post captioned: ‘HOCO ‘24 #senioryear’ shared with their 751,000 Instagram followers.
The girls posed with their dates and shared a glimpse of their preparations for the dance – amid their father’s imprisonment.
The twins are reportedly being looked after by a close friend of his late ex Kim, Lala.

Diddy’s daughters are in Los Angeles while his sons, Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, and Christian, 26, are in New York for their father’s legal proceedings.
For the past few years, Lala has served as a caregiver to Porter’s daughters, TMZ reports. However, she is not their legal guardian.
Porter had a tumultuous on-off romance with Diddy between 1994 and 2007, welcoming three children with him – Christian and twin girls Jesse and D’Lila. She died at age 47 of lobar pneumonia in 2018.
D’Lila and Jessie are both in school in Los Angeles and Lala has been managing their schedules.
She has been protecting the girls the best she can and has been shielding them from the outside noise. Lala has also been serving as a mother figure to the teenagers.
Appearing on DailyMail.com’s hit podcast The Trial Of Diddy, prison expert Larry Levine said Diddy is visited by a psych team everyday.
‘He’s not really on suicide watch but my inside source there tells me that there is someone coming by to visit with him several times a day, you know, to make sure that he’s okay,’ Levine remarked on the podcast.
‘My sources are telling me that [Diddy] is getting extra showers a week,’ he alleged. ‘I don’t know how many. It probably varies. They’re giving them extra privileges.’

Meanwhile, Combs’ lawyers are still trying to get him out of jail and filed an appeal to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court after two judges rejected his release on bail. The matter will be discussed at a hearing on November 4.
Last week Diddy’s seven children shared a joint statement supporting him on Tuesday morning ahead of his May 5th federal sex-trafficking trial.
‘The past month has devastated our family,’ they wrote on Instagram .
‘Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media. We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.’
The family statement came two days after the Buzbee Law Firm, AVA Law Group, and Curis Law filed seven more lawsuits (four men and three women) in the US District Court in Manhattan against the three-time Grammy winner alleging aggravated sexual assault, sexual abuse, and sexual exploitation between 2000-2022.

Lead counsel Tony Buzbee has gathered enough evidence to file 120 victims’ (as young as nine and 13) lawsuits thanks to a hotline he set up for victims and witnesses which amassed 12K calls in 24 hours.
Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo dismissed the latest lawsuits as ‘clear attempts to garner publicity’ and they ‘have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process.’
The Emmy-nominated producer – who was arrested September 16 in Manhattan after a grand jury indictment – ‘has never sexually assaulted anyone – adult or minor, man or woman,’ they added.
Diddy has pled not guilty to charges alleging he coerced and abused women for years, aided by associates and employees, and silenced victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.
