Kesha isn’t quite done letting the world know how she feels about Diddy as more allegations of sexual assault, harassment and misconduct against the mogul continue to surface.
On Friday (May 31), the 37-year-old took the stage at WeHo Pride in Los Angeles, California. During the performance, she inevitably sang her breakthrough hit “Tik Tok,” which opens with the line: “Wake up in the morning, feeling like P. Diddy.”
Much like she did during her cameo at Reneé Rapp’s Coachella set earlier this year, the pop singer amended the aforementioned line to “Wake up in the morning like, fuck P. Diddy” as she and her backup dancers all threw up their middle fingers to a roaring crowd.

A few years after the release of “Tik Tok,” Kesha’s career as an artist was put on the back burner as she entered a lengthy legal dispute with famed producer Dr. Luke over allegations of him physically, sexually and emotionally assaulting her, among other things.
After nearly a decade, the lawsuit was settled out of court last year.
The altered “Tik Tok” lyric was presumably in response to the multiple lawsuits filed against Diddy for similar reasons over the past few months.
Following a six-month investigation by Rolling Stone that was published earlier this week, the businessman is facing even more allegations of violence and sexual harassment.
The story, compiled using interviews with more than 50 people connected to Diddy throughout his career, details how his alleged abusive behavior began during his time as a student at Howard University in the late 1980s.
The article describes an incident wherein he allegedly used a belt to strike a woman repeatedly, with an unnamed source saying: “[Puff] whupped her butt — like really whupped her butt.”
The report also alleges that the New York City native once beat up late Def Jam executive Shakir Stewart for dating Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Kim Porter.
The incident allegedly took place in 2000 at LA Reid‘s wedding in Italy, where sources describe Puffy breaking a chair over his head and leaving him bleeding on a hotel floor. Stewart later committed suicide in 2008, while Porter (who shares three children with Puff) died of pneumonia in 2018.
The 54-year-old has also been accused of attacking a woman in Bad Boy’s office in 1994, resulting in two employees being forced to pull him away after hearing screams and the sound of smashing glass.
Another woman who worked for the label as a graphic designer claims he sexually harassed her in 2001 at a party celebrating his acquittal in the 1999 nightclub shooting, for which Shyne spent almost a decade in prison. She later found out that the record executive had allegedly approached her boss the night of the party to “solicit [her] for sex.”

“I felt quite unsettled about this for many years. When people ask me about my days at Bad Boy, it’s just overshadowed by his crap,” she said.
Additionally, the report also includes claims about Diddy’s relationships with other rappers, including that he was jealous of Biggie’s bond with 2Pac and did not “want that friendship to happen,” according to photographer Monique Bunn.
He apparently tried to build a bond with ‘Pac, but the Death Row MC “didn’t have any kind of respect for Puff” according to Bunn, who added that the rapper and actor saw him as a “corny executive.”
