The Combs girls performed along to "Stop! In the Name of Love."

Diana Ross' 75th birthday celebration was the place to be last night in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium, and Sean "Diddy" Combs was just one of many celebrities on the scene to bring in the big day with the Motown legend. Diddy took to the stage to perform his Notorious B.I.G. collaborative classic "Mo' Money Mo' Problems," but he wasn't the only member of the Combs family to hit the stage.

Twins D’Lila and Jessie along with their sister Chance acted as Ross' backup dancers, channeling their inner Supremes as they performed choreographed movements. The trio were all dressed alike in adorable red dresses and couldn't stop smiling as they grooved along to Ross singing her iconic jam, "Stop! In the Name of Love" by The Supremes. 

Diddy was on a joyful high watching his girls and posted a clip of their performance along with himself freaking out backstage. "One of the best days of my life!!!" Diddy wrote. "My three Queens sharing the stage with the legendary and the beautiful @dianaross Happy Birthday Queen." The twins have their own Instagram page and the shared a photo of the sister trio with the caption, "Last night we got the opportunity to perform with a LEGEND!! Thank you @dianaross for having us and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! #DiamondDiana."

The media mogul's daddy duties have been taken to a new level since the passing of Kim Porter, but Diddy has been holding things down and making it look effortless. He's been posting clips of rehearsals with his girls for weeks as they practiced for other performances, even hilariously joining them in their dance routine. The family not only has a solid foundation but seems to be surrounded by a supportive team and it's beautiful to see the girls stepping out, getting their shine, and doing it all with a smile on their faces.
