Kesha and Reneé Rapp Alter Famous Lyrics in Surprise Coachella Performance
Kesha and Reneé Rapp captivated the audience at Coachella this weekend with an unexpected performance that included an alteration to a familiar lyric.
The iconic singer Kesha, known for her hit song “Tik Tok,” revised a line during her appearance with Reneé Rapp at the renowned Coachella music festival. The original lyric referenced Sean "Diddy" Combs, but they modified it to deliver a powerful message.
Instead of singing, “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy,” Kesha boldly changed it to, “Wake up in the morning like f*** P. Diddy,” signifying a shift in sentiment.
The alteration of the lyric comes amidst recent controversies surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has been embroiled in serious allegations of sexual misconduct.
Reports surfaced last month concerning a U.S. Department of Homeland Security investigation into Combs’ homes, indicating potential human trafficking crimes being pursued.
In a tangential connection to Kesha, the singer has previously dealt with legal matters involving producer Luke Gottwald. She accused Gottwald of various forms of abuse, a case that garnered significant attention.
Furthermore, the revision to the song’s lyric could also relate to the case of Cassie Ventura, who filed a lawsuit against Combs for rape and sex trafficking in November.
Recently, at a Los Angeles concert, Kesha omitted the contentious Diddy-related lyric altogether, opting for a more self-empowering alternative.
The performance at Coachella not only showcased the musical talents of Kesha and Reneé Rapp but also highlighted the ongoing conversations regarding accountability and justice in the entertainment industry.
