Kesha’s Diddy-less Tiktok performance at Coachella makes the crowd go wild

Coachella Valley got its first taste of a fiery collab Saturday night and it wasn’t just the smoke and mirrors that lit up the stage. Pop icon Kesha made a surprise appearance during Reneé Rapp’s set, and things got a little spicy (or should we say “Diddy-less”?). Taking a savage dig at the rapper and music mogul Sean Diddy Combs who is currently embroiled in multiple assault charges, the TikTok singer changed the lyrics of her 2010 smash.
On Sunday, Kesha surprised the audience by joining Reneé Rapp’s performance midway. During her rendition of the 2010 hit song TikTok, she altered the opening lyrics in a way that left the audience stunned! Instead of “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy,” Kesha sang, “Wake up in the morning like f*ck P. Diddy,” while raising her middle finger alongside Rapp. The original lyrics of the song also featured the music mogul himself adding a quick vocal line, “Hey, what’s up girl?” It was definitely a performance to remember for Coachella fans.
“KESHA JUST CHANGED THE LYRICS FOR TIK TOK TO “FUCK P DIDDY” AT COACHELLA WITH RENEÉ RAPP OH MY GODDD,” A fan wrote on social media. “she’s the realist,” commented another. Many chimed in too. “That was some moment at the Coachella.”

Back in 2023, following accusations of sexual harassment and trafficking levelled against Diddy by his ex-girlfriend Cassie (which were ultimately settled outside of court), Kesha subtly tweaked the song’s opening line. During live performances, she started singing “Wake up in the morning feeling just like me” instead of the original “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy.”
