She woke up in the morning ready to denounce P. Diddy.
Kesha surprised Coachella 2024 attendees when she joined Reneè Rapp’s set as a guest on Sunday.
The duo launched into Kesha’s 2009 hit “Tik Tok,” but instead of singing the song’s original lyrics: “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy,” the 37-year-old singer changed it slightly and sang, “wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy.” in the morning like f—k P. Diddy.
In a viral video posted to X (formerly Twitter), the “Cannibal” singer and “Mean Girls” star can be seen raising their middle fingers to the crowd.
Several Internet users were excited about Kesha’s return to the stage.
“Oh Kesha, we are ready for your return,” one fan exclaimed.
“Kesha’s return is exactly what 2024 needed,” said a second user.
“When two queens join forces to maximize their joint slaughter,” a third person praised.
A fourth person noted that the lyric change “rolls perfectly off the tongue”, while a fifth joked that it made the hit “even more iconic”.
This isn’t the first time Kesha has changed the lyrics of her song to criticize Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In November 2023, the “We R Who We R” singer name-dropped the disgraced rapper when she performed the song at a concert in Oakland, California during her Only Love Tour.
During the show, Kesha changed the lyrics to: “Wake up in the morning feeling like me.” »
The change in that performance came just after Combs, 54, and his ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura settled a lawsuit out of court that claimed the rapper trafficked, raped and violently beat her throughout their relationship intermittent for 13 years. The tycoon then denied these allegations.
Cassie’s situation is similar to what Kesha experienced in 2014 when she sued music producer Dr. Luke – real name Lukasz Gottwald – claiming he “sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused her at point that she almost lost.” his life.”
Kesha claimed the music producer drugged and raped her at a party in 2005 and tormented her emotionally for years afterward. He denied the allegations.
The latest change in the song’s lyrics comes after Diddy was accused of trafficking and harassment with one of his former employees, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones.
In the lawsuit obtained by The Post, Jones claims Combs constantly “boasted” about paying three women a “monthly stipend” for their sex work.
Jones then named Yung Miami, Jade Ramey and Daphne Joy as the three alleged workers.
Joy has since denied any involvement.
Jones also claimed in the lawsuit that the music executive allegedly sexually assaulted him when the pair collaborated on his last album between September 2022 and November 2023.
Combs’ attorney, Shawn Holley, told Page Six that the former employee “is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit.”
Holley added that “his reckless naming of events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to grab headlines.”
“We have overwhelming and indisputable proof that his claims are pure lies. We will respond to these wild allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them,” he continued.
Last month, Combs was the subject of two high-profile raids by Homeland Security as part of a sex trafficking investigation. The searches involved federal agents who confiscated many of the music star’s phones and computers.
“We believe there is a disturbing history of sex trafficking,” a Department of Homeland Security officer told the Post, without elaborating on the specific allegations at the time.
“We are responding to concrete, detailed and explicit allegations. It’s not random. We didn’t choose his name at random. We have had allegations that we are following up on.
Diddy’s lawyer, Aaron Dyer, later called the raids a “witch hunt,” criticizing “the excessive display of force and hostility shown by authorities or the manner in which his children and employees were treated.”
