However, in light of recent allegations made against the music mogul, Kesha used the opportunity to change the song into a diss, singing, Wake up in the morning like f*** P Diddy, instead of the aforementioned verbiage.

Not the first time Kesha has changed the lyric to TikTok 

Back in November, following Cassie Ventura’s bombshell lawsuit against Combs, Kesha switched the lyric to Wake up in the morning feeling just like me while performing at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.

In her lawsuit, Ventura had claimed that she endured over a decade’s worth of physical and sexual abuse at the hands of the Coming Home singer. 

Ventura settled the lawsuit just a day later, but things have gotten worse for Diddy in the months since. 

Here's how people on the internet have reacted to Kesha calling out Diddy at Coachella 

Recent legal troubles surrounding Sean 'Diddy' Combs

Kesha’s Diddy diss comes amid growing legal troubles and serious allegations levied against the singer and entrepreneur. 

In recent months, Diddy has been hit with a flurry of lawsuits alleging assault, gang rape, and sex trafficking. Last month, his Miami and Los Angeles residences were raided by Homeland Security, following which his lawyer, Aaron Dyers, labeled the raids on his property a “gross overuse of military-level force” in a statement.

“There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated,” he elaborated. 

As for the other aforementioned allegations against him, Diddy has denied all of the claims and is yet to face any charges.
