Diddy’s Twins, Jessie and D’Lila Combs, Previously Said College Isn’t in Their Plans
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ twins, Jessie and D’Lila Combs, are stepping confidently into the spotlight as rising fashion and social media influencers. Now 18, the sisters have become regulars at major fashion weeks, modeling for luxury brands and curating their own bold, coordinated looks that draw plenty of online buzz. They’ve focused on building their own business ventures and expanding their presence in the entertainment world, from high-profile photo shoots to brand partnerships. Here’s what they previously said about skipping out on college for another path to success.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ twins, Jessie and D’Lila Combs, said they have no college plans
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ kids are in the spotlight more than ever following his high-profile trial. His 18-year-old twins, Jessie and D’Lila Combs, are making names for themselves in the fashion industry. They’ve clearly defined a path that bypasses the traditional college route. After graduating from high school, they announced they would not attend college and are instead focusing full-time on entrepreneurship, fashion, and their modeling careers.
“Since Jessie and I are not going to college, we’re gonna be wearing one of our brand hoodies,” D’Lila said in a now-deleted TikTok, according to Hola!.
“Because we’re repping that we’re gonna be business owners, period,” Jessie added.
“And working!” D’Lila continued.
In 2025, the twins launched their own clothing line called 12TWINTY1, which nods to their shared birthday (Dec. 21) and reflects values of boldness, leadership, connection, and harmony. Alongside building that brand, they continue to walk in major fashion shows (Dolce & Gabbana, for example), leverage their modeling exposure, and express ambition to turn their influence into something long-term and business-oriented.
Jessie and D’Lila Combs announced their 12TWINTY1 brand on Instagram in July 2025
In July 2025, Jessie and D’Lila Combs posted an Instagram announcement about their new brand, 12TWINTY1. The twins posted a clip that showed them talking about how the brand was unique and special to them, and they couldn’t wait to share it with their fans.
“The connection we have is just beyond words, and that connection is the heart of our brand,” D’Lila says while standing beside her sister.
The caption of the post explains more about the brand name.
“The name reflects our birthday, December 21st, but it means so much more:
1 is bold, fearless, and marks the beginning of something powerful.
2 speaks to love, connection, and harmony, the essence of our twin hood,” the twins wrote.
They conclude the post by stating that the brand represented “identity, confidence, and being seen.”
The post garnered plenty of attention from their followers. And, of course, they received love from their family.
“THIS IS INCREDIBLE LADIES,” their brother, Quincy Brown, commented with a heart-eyes emoji and a clapping emoji. “PROUD OF YOU!”
“YEAHHHHHH COMING TO A STORE NEAR YOU,” Christian “King” Combs added.
Kimora Lee Simmons, the twins’ godmother, also commented. “Leggooo!” she wrote with fire emojis.
The twins discussed their love of modeling as preteens
Jessie and D’Lila Combs have always had modeling on the brain. Their mother, Kim Porter, began her modeling career as a teenager, so it makes sense that Sean “Diddy” Combs’ twins would follow in Porter’s footsteps. In 2019, the twins, who were 12 at the time, spoke about loving the limelight to The Nikki Rich Show at The LadyLike Foundation Luncheon.
“We like modeling. We like showing off our nice clothes to people, and just modeling with the other little kids …,” D’Lila told the interviewer.
“… Helping them on the runway, so we hope you guys enjoy,” Jessie finished.
The twins then noted how they already had social media at their young age, which likely greatly helped their platform grow to where it is today.
