Sean "Diddy" Combs' daughter is celebrating a major milestone in her life.

On Friday, Chance, 17, shared the moment she learned she was accepted into NYU's Tisch School of the Arts as a member of the class of 2028 on her Instagram Story. The budding actress was in the car with mom Sarah Chapman when she received the email on Thursday.

In addition to the video of the moment she read her acceptance letter, there are also photos of Chance posing at the New York City school during visits prior to her acceptance.

In July, the producer, 53, shared a photo on Instagram where he gifted daughter Chance a pink garden rose.

"Words can’t describe how proud I am to watch you go after and accomplish your goals! GO CHANCE GO! I love you so much! @myfancychance," he captioned the shot.

"Thank you for supporting my dreams. I love you daddy!!💖," the teen replied in the comments.

Speaking with V Magazine for their summer 2023 issue, Chance talked about how her and her siblings' upbringing as the children of the influential music figure has made them all ambitious.

"Growing up, we’ve always been around different artists and in the studio with our dad,” Chance shared. “Even though we don’t want to pursue music right now, just seeing his work ethic and persistence has definitely been a big contributor to the drive we have to pursue our dreams.”

Her own dream is acting, having started taking theater and improv classes at just 5 years old.

"Acting has helped me evolve more as a person, and it’s helped me step out of my comfort zone," she told the outlet.

In addition to Chance, Diddy is dad to daughter Love Sean, 13 months, whom he shares with Dana Tran, and twins D'Lila Star and Jessie James, who turn 17 later this month, and sons King, 25, and Justin Dior, 29, and 32-year-old Quincy Brown.

Earlier this month, Combs spoke out for the first time to deny the mounting number of sexual assault claims he’s facing, as his fourth accuser in less than three weeks filed suit in New York.

“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” he wrote in the statement, which was obtained by PEOPLE. “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday.”

The “Last Night” rapper was first sued by ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura for alleged rape, sex trafficking and domestic violence on Nov. 16. The two reached a settlement one day later — but shortly after, he was named in two more lawsuits.

In one, Combs was accused of drugging and raping a woman named Joi Dickerson-Neal while she was a Syracuse University student in 1991. In the other, a Jane Doe claimed Combs and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall raped her and a friend in New York City more than 30 years ago.
