“People fail to realize that just because he’s our dad doesn’t mean like, his press is his own press. Our press is our own press,” she explained. “Like people fail to understand that we are also individuals. Like it’s separate. So I don’t have any fear.”
Jessie added: “I just feel like we’ve never like allowed any of that to like stop us. Like we have to keep going. And it’s honestly just made us push and work harder because you know we’re not going to stop.”
Diddy, meanwhile, is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. While speaking about their father, the twins said he has remained focused on becoming a better person and continuing to be present for his family.
“He’s been very focused, you know, like being a better person for his family and yeah, he’s been very focused and he’s just always been there for us,” Jessie said.
The sisters also credited their family and their bond as twins with helping them navigate difficult moments.
