Kesha recently made a surprise performance at Coachella which included a controversial lyric change to her song “Tik Tok,” replacing ‘Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy’ with ‘Wake up in the morning like f—k P. Diddy.’ Kesha confirmed that this change is permanent and encouraged fans to learn the new lyrics for her upcoming shows. She stood by her decision, stating that she is a person who speaks the truth and has a solid integrity, adding that the industry can “suck her d—k.”
In response to allegations of sex trafficking involvement against Sean “Diddy” Combs, Kesha publicly condemned him and mentioned that she knows what she stands for. She did not mention whether she had heard a response from Diddy’s camp in light of her Coachella performance. The singer also expressed her disdain for the music industry and its treatment of artists. Kesha’s surprise performance at Coachella took place during singer Renee Rapp’s set, where they both sang “Tik Tok” with their middle fingers in the air.
The March raids of Diddy’s homes occurred during a difficult period for the rapper, who was also facing rape and assault allegations from his ex-girlfriend, Cassie. Diddy denied these allegations and later settled the lawsuit. Following this, more women came forward with similar claims of misconduct against Diddy, which he also denied. Diddy’s attorney criticized the raids as an “excessive show of force,” stating that there was no excuse for the hostile treatment his client, his children, and employees received during the incident.
Overall, Kesha’s performance at Coachella and the lyric change to her song “Tik Tok” have sparked controversy and discussions within the music industry. Her public condemnation of Diddy and her strong stance on speaking the truth and having integrity have garnered attention. Despite facing backlash, Kesha remains firm in her decision to keep the lyric change in place and wants fans to embrace it during her future shows. The incident sheds light on the complexities and challenges faced by artists in the industry and raises questions about accountability and responsibility for alleged misconduct.
