Kesha's decision to distance herself from(puffy) Combs is not new. Last year, during a performance on her Only Love tour, she modified the same line to "Wake up in the morning feeling just like me," effectively removing Diddy's name following a lawsuit settlement involving singer Cassie Ventura and Combs. The alteration was seen as a stand against association with individuals facing such serious allegations.
The recent Coachella performance echoes Kesha's ongoing support for survivors of sexual assault, a cause close to her heart due to her own legal battles in the music industry. By changing the lyrics, Kesha not only distances herself from Combs but also aligns with a broader movement in the entertainment industry that seeks accountability and change.
Fans have rallied around Kesha's act of defiance, with many on social media platforms like TikTok humorously muting or altering the mention of Diddy in her song. This collective action signifies a shift in public sentiment, where audiences are increasingly conscious of the messages and associations in the media they consume.
Combs, who faces multiple lawsuits alleging sexual assault and sex trafficking, has seen his homes raided as part of a federal investigation.The gravity of these accusations has prompted artists like Kesha to take a public stand, using their platform to send a message that transcends music.
