Kesha Re-records Song to Remove P Diddy Mention
- Kesha has re-recorded a song to remove references to P Diddy, reflecting her personal growth.
- She stated, 'The world has changed so much and so have I,' emphasizing her evolving perspective.
- This move highlights Kesha's desire to distance herself from past associations.
Kesha has announced a significant change to the lyrics of her debut single "TikTok," originally released in 2009. The alteration comes in response to serious allegations against rapper P Diddy, who is facing multiple civil lawsuits related to sex trafficking and sexual abuse, which he denies. The original opening line, "Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy," will now be replaced with "Wake up in the morning like f**k P Diddy" in her re-recorded version. Kesha has already begun performing the new line at live shows since the allegations surfaced in November 2023. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Kesha reflected on the significance of "TikTok," stating that it was her first single to showcase her voice and name. She expressed pride in the song's ability to evoke fun and happiness, emotions she wishes to share with her audience. Kesha emphasized the importance of protecting her artistic expression and the joy that the song represents, noting how both she and the world have changed since its release. The singer recently returned to the stage after settling a long-standing legal battle with producer Dr. Luke, who accused her of defamation over claims of drugging and rape. Kesha is now releasing music under her own label, Kesha Records, marking a new chapter in her career. "TikTok" was the lead single from her 2010 album *Animal*, which featured other hits like "Your Love Is My Drug" and "Blah Blah Blah."
