Kesha's unexpected appearance at Coachella surprised everyone.
She has now confirmed that she will be keeping the controversial lyric change in her famous song "Tik Tok", where she replaces 'Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy' with 'Wake up in the morning like f—k P. Diddy'.
Kesha was asked by TMZ at LAX airport on Thursday, May 9 if the lyric alteration is a permanent change to the song. Kesha confirmed that it will be permanent and encouraged fans to learn the new lyrics for her upcoming shows. She expressed her desire to hear the altered lyrics sung louder than ever and stated that she stands by the change with a smile.
Kesha spoke out about Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is accused of being involved in sex trafficking. She said she believes in speaking the truth and standing by her values. The singer expressed that she is not one to stay silent and is confident in her integrity. Kesha also expressed her frustration with the industry.
Kesha did not mention if she received any feedback from Diddy’s team after her Coachella performance.
She performed on April 14 during singer Renee Rapp’s set, and the crowd loved it.
"Tik Tok" played as she entered the stage, a song originally released in 2010. As she sang, she and Rapp, 24, threw their middle fingers in the air.
The March raids of Diddy's homes occurred during a challenging time for the 54-year-old rapper.
Diddy was accused of rape and assault by his ex-girlfriend Cassie, also known as Casandra Ventura. He denied the allegations initially and the two settled the lawsuit quickly. However, more women came forward with similar claims afterwards. (Diddy has denied all accusations against him.)
Regarding the raids, Diddy's lawyer stated that the show of force during the incident was excessive.
Attorney Aaron Dyer stated that there was an excessive use of military force during the execution of search warrants at Mr. Combs’ residences. He emphasized that the authorities showed unnecessary hostility and used excessive force towards his children and employees.
