- Kesha altered the lyrics of "TiK ToK" during a Coachella performance with Reneé Rapp.
- Instead of living it up like P Diddy, Kesha is now saying F Diddy.
Kesha used her 2010 party anthem "TiK ToK" to share her opinion on rapper and producer Sean "Diddy" Combs in a Sunday guest appearance during Reneé Rapp's Coachella set.
Both the pop artist and her performance partner, singer and actress Rapp, changed the infamous intro of the song from "Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy" to "Wake up in the morning like Fuck P Diddy."
Both singers raised their middle fingers as they recited the lyrics.
Kesha later posted the changed lyrics on X and Instagram.
WAKE UP IN THE MORNING LIKE FUCK P DIDDY

The singer did not address why she changed the lyrics, but Combs is facing several lawsuits from people who've accused him of sexual assault. He has denied the allegations.
In late March, two of Combs' homes were subject to a DHS raid. The agency did not reveal why it was raiding the homes or the target of the raids. Multiple news outlets, including the Associated Press, reported the raids were related to a sex-trafficking investigation.
"There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations," Combs' lawyer Aaron Dyer said at the time. "Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name."
Kesha was famously involved in a nearly-decade-long legal battle with music producer Dr. Luke, who she said drugged and raped her in 2005 and physically, emotionally, and sexually abused her while they worked together. Dr. Luke denied these allegations.
After a series of suits and countersuits, the pair settled in June 2023. Details of the settlement were not disclosed.
Representatives for Rapp, Kesha, Dr. Luke, and Combs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
