The twin daughters of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, D’Lila Star and Jessie James, both 18, were asked to exit a rollercoaster at the Orange County Fair before the ride began. Video footage obtained by the Daily Mail shows the sisters and their friends being approached by a fair worker while seated on the ride, after which they were seen leaving.
According to reports from TMZ, the incident was caused by the twins not complying with the ride’s safety rules regarding phone usage. Staff members allegedly asked the girls to put their phones away on three separate occasions, but they did not comply. While some sources claim the ride conductor was being “rude” in his request, the outcome remained the same. Despite the incident, the teens were not removed from the fair and were reportedly given tickets to ride another rollercoaster later.
This event comes at a busy time for the Combs twins. Earlier this year, they graduated from high school and announced they would not be immediately attending college. Instead, they have been focusing on their entrepreneurial ventures, including the launch of their own fashion label, 12TWINTY1. The brand name is inspired by their December 21 birthday, with the number one symbolizing “boldness” and “leadership” and the number two representing “love” and “harmony.”
The incident also draws attention to the ongoing legal troubles of their father, Diddy. In July, he was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution after a nine-week trial. While he was acquitted of more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges, he still faces a potential prison sentence of up to 20 years.
