Kesha Turns Against Diddy With A Savage ‘Tik Tok’ Lyric Change During A Surprise Coachella Appearance With Reneé Rapp

Kesha’s music career got off to a scorching start with her 2009 debut single “Tik Tok,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was ultimately one of the defining songs of its era. The opening lyric, though, hasn’t aged particularly well: “Wake up in the morning feelin’ like P. Diddy.”

Diddy, of course, is currently facing multiple sexual harassment/assault lawsuits. Kesha isn’t going to let that stop her from performing her biggest hit, but a change is in order, and Kesha made one during a surprise appearance at Coachella this past weekend.

Reneé Rapp brought Kesha out during her set and the two launched into “Tik Tok,” tweaking the opening lyric to have a totally opposite stance on Diddy: “Wake up in the morning like, ‘F*ck P. Diddy!’”

Kesha, meanwhile, has a lot to celebrate. Last year, she released Gag Order, which fulfilled her contractual obligations with Dr. Luke’s label, Kemosabe. Shortly after, Kesha and Dr. Luke, after years of allegations of sexual assault and defamation, ended their legal battle. Last month, Kesha celebrated by teasing an unreleased song and writing, “First day I’ve owned my voice in 19 years. Welcome.” On Instagram Live later, Kesha was seen wiping away happy tears as she previewed new music.

Diddy’s Attorney Called The Raids Of His Homes ‘A Gross Overuse Of Military-Level Force’

Following the raid of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes this past Monday (March 26), Combs’ team has broken their silence. Today (March 27), Combs’ attorney Aaron Dyer has issued a statement to HipHopDX, maintaining Combs’ innocent.

In the statement, Dyer called the raids “a gross overuse of military-level force” and decried how his children and employees were interrograted and handcuffed.

“This unprecedented ambush – paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence – leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits,” said Dyer.

Though Combs himself was not arrested, a man named Brendan Paul who was alleged in a suit to be Combs’ “drug mule,” was taken into custody for possession of marijuana and cocaine. At the time of writing, it is unclear if the arrest was in relation to Combs.

You can read Dyer’s full statement below.

“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.

This unprecedented ambush – paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence – leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”

Diddy’s Neighbor, Ridley Scott, Did Not Appear To Be Thrilled About The LA-Based Raid By Homeland Security

The ongoing Sean “Diddy” Combs situation has accelerated over the past 24 hours or so with Homeland Security raiding his LA and Miami homes, reportedly as part of a sex trafficking investigation. Other unfolding events have included Diddy’s jet being tracked in the Caribbean islands and the mogul reportedly unloading his stock in Revolt TV, which he co-founded in 2013.

The ruckus inside Diddy’s Holmby Hills neighborhood wasn’t limited to Diddy’s property, either. On Monday, law enforcement who descended upon the scene apparently blocked a chunk of the neighborhood, which prevented Napoleon and Alien director Ridley Scott from reaching his nearby home. TMZ has published multiple photos close to where the feds carried out the raid, and Scott is seen standing outside his vehicle and not looking terribly amused (and who could blame him?) by the inconvenience:

As police taped off the neighborhood street near Diddy’s $40 million mansion, the filmmaker was spotted stuck in traffic amid the chaos.

Ridley’s no different from the average looky-loo, though … in one pic he seems to be taking a closer look at the situation, but ya gotta imagine he’s also frustrated he can’t get where he’s trying to go.

Not only does Scott live in the neighborhood, but fellow nearby home owners include Kylie Jenner and Rod Stewart. The absolutely enormous Spelling Manor (of Aaron and Candy Spelling fame, although it has since changed hands) isn’t located too terribly far away, either.

As mentioned above, Diddy was not in Los Angeles at the time that feds conducted their raid of his property. Beyond the apparent legal troubles involved with this development, Diddy is also embroiled in multiple lawsuits that revolve around allegations of sexual assault/sexual harassment — accusations that are potentially connected to the reasons for law enforcement’s raids on his home. Throughout this legal saga, Diddy has maintained his innocence, although it’s clear that ongoing investigations are underway.

Everyone’s getting their wild, shocked, and indignant reactions out there concerning the latest sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy. This time, it’s from a former male employee who made damning claims about drug-fueled parties with underage people and various claims of sexual assault against others.

Rick Ross And Floyd Mayweather Share Laughs Amidst 50 Cent Comments

by

In the world of hip-hop and boxing, alliances and friendships are constantly evolving. A recent encounter between rapper Rick Ross and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has sparked intrigue, especially in the wake of Mayweather’s controversial defense of Diddy in the face of criticism from 50 Cent. The link up between Rick Ross and Floyd Mayweather took place at a club in Miami on Wednesday, February 21, just hours after Mayweather’s appearance on The Pivot Podcast, where he addressed P. Diddy’s sexual assault allegations.

Despite the gravity of the situation, Ross and Mayweather were seen sharing a laugh, seemingly unfazed by the storm of controversy surrounding Mayweather’s comments. Earlier in the day, 50 Cent had taken to social media to criticize Mayweather for not condemning Diddy amidst the serious allegations. Mayweather’s response on The Pivot Podcast was unexpected, as he chose to stand by Diddy, emphasizing their shared identity as Black men. Mayweather said, “I’m not gonna speak bad about P. Diddy. ‘Cause he still a Black man. Mistakes happen. And I can’t say if it is or not a mistake, but things happen in life.”

Moreover, in response to the criticism directed at him, Floyd Mayweather further clarified his stance, emphasizing that P. Diddy’s business is his own and not subject to public judgment. Mayweather asserted that it’s not his responsibility, or anyone else’s, to publicly condemn Diddy or criticize him on the internet. Especially during challenging times. He maintained a neutral position, stating that while he doesn’t endorse or agree with the alleged actions, he believes it’s not his place to intervene. Mayweather went on to express that even if similar circumstances involved his own daughter, he would be hurt but acknowledges it would be a result of her choices.

50 Cent, however, didn’t mince words in response to Mayweather’s comments, calling him “stupid” for his perspective. Taking to Instagram, 50 Cent questioned Mayweather’s intelligence, suggesting that the interview failed to address critical aspects. He criticized Mayweather for sounding like a hater and hinted at an impending revelation, teasing, “DIDDY DO IT ? COMING soon.” The exchange between Mayweather and 50 Cent adds an additional layer of tension and anticipation to an already heated and complex situation. What are your thoughts? Let us know on HNHH!

Diddy’s Son Removes Face Tattoo After Negative Feedback

by

Diddy’s stepson Quincy Brown may make some impulsive decisions from time to time, but at least he owns up to them when he’s “wrong.” Moreover, social media followers recently clowned him for a new face tattoo he got under his left eye that spells out “Perfect.” Apparently, the singer and actor is really about fan reception and democracy, because on Wednesday (February 21), he shared the process of going to get his ink removed via laser treatment. “I’ve read the comments,” he captioned his update on the platform. “Thank Q for y’all’s honesty. Thank Q @aestheticqueenco you the people’s champ!”

Furthermore, a lot of people also debated whether Quincy’s tattoo was real in the first place, or if this was all just for content on social media. But the fact that he apparently did this just because of negative feedback puts this into question, because it’s not like he made a mountain out of a molehill. Still, if Brown really did get the tattoo, then why would he care about what others have to say in the first place -– especially on the Internet? Regardless of all that, it’s not the wildest thing that Diddy’s extended family has been up to as of late, as King Combs had to fight off gang claims and backlash.

A post shared by Quincy (@quincy)

Sadly, everything emerging around the Combs family falls under a dark shroud these days thanks to the alleged sexual misconduct of Diddy. While his legal cases continue to develop and mount pressure, his extended family has not said much of the whole ordeal. Quincy himself remains quite tight-lipped on the matter, although this could change depending on whether Sean Combs re-enters the music industry soon. For the sake of the whole family, it seems like quite the sensitive topic to tackle through anything other than a joint effort.

Meanwhile, as the guilt and weight of these accusations continue to fall under public and legal scrutiny, Diddy’s stepson’s antics in the media will likely continue. After all, life goes on, and there’s so little we know about these cases to begin with. We’ll see what the rest of 2024 holds in this regard. For more news and the latest updates on Quincy, stick around on HNHH.

Diddy’s Gang Assault Accuser Has “Public-Facing Identity,” His Legal Team Warns

by

According to reporter Meghann Cuniff, Diddy’s legal team just warned the court in a new legal filing in his gang assault case that his accuser has a “public-facing identity” that could be identified if named. Moreover, the Jane Doe claims that he and former Bad BoyEntertainment president Harve Pierre were among those who assaulted her as a group, along with accusations of trafficking. Sean Combs’ team wants to seal documents that could provide this information, which apparently came from his accuser’s latest filing. However, it’s important to note that the defense believes Jane Doe’s identity should come to light, but it looks like they don’t want to do so in this way.

Furthermore, it’s unclear what the alternative is, but when this case began in December, the accuser’s lawyers argued that she should remain anonymous throughout the whole process. This is because they believe the revelation of her identity “poses a risk of mental harm.” Diddy’s legal team argued that this shouldn’t be the case, but still requested the judge to conceal new documents “out of an abundance of caution,” as their filing could identify her. In addition, litigator Jonathan D. Davis alleged that Jane Doe’s team agrees with this sentiment.

Diddy’s Attorneys Warn Court Of Accuser’s Possible Identification

Reportedly, Harve Pierre also echoed this sentiment via his attorneys. On the other hand, Jane Doe maintained while requesting to keep her identity concealed that her accusations “concern brutal sexual assault… when she was a teenager and, accordingly, are highly sensitive and of a personal nature.” Diddy, Pierre, and a third male whose identity is unknown face accusations of trafficking and assaulting her in 2003 at Combs’ New York City studio. This added to a slew of other sexual assault lawsuits against the entertainment and business mogul.

Meanwhile, this also follows reports that Puff Daddy will not attend the Grammys this year. Many folks wondered if the Recording Academy took any measure to address this issue, but it seems like his team made that decision for them. We’ll see how these active cases further develop in 2024. On that note, check back in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Diddy.

Keefe D Claims Diddy Put Hit On Tupac For $1M In New Audio Used In Court

by

Keefe D’s court case for the murder of Tupac Shakur has plenty of other suspects in its sights, especially from the defense’s side. Moreover, on Thursday (January 11), his lawyers submitted a tape of him claiming that Diddy offered him a million dollars to murder the West Coast legend, according to The U.S. Sun. However, the clip reportedly doesn’t feature the Bad Boy mogul at all, but rather Keefe (real name Duane Davis) laughing about his alleged involvement with Vegas police. Apparently, Sean Combs wanted ‘Pac and Suge Knight taken care of because tensions between the East Coast and West Coast had reached an all-time high.

Furthermore, this follows other accusations that Diddy had something to do with this whole debacle. For example, L.A.P.D. Detective Greg Kading did so back in 2011, also alleging that Suge put out the hit on Biggie Smalls. “We got Keffe D’s back up against the wall,” he recalled to HipHopDX around this time, explaining how they began to put the pieces of the story together. While this is purely speculative, it’s also to show for just how long rumors like these have dominated hip-hop conversations and gossip mills.

“He explained to us that him and his nephew, [Orlando Anderson], and the rest of that little Crip entourage, committed the murder of Tupac out in Las Vegas,” Kading continued of Keefe D and Diddy’s involvement. “Then he explains that the conspiracy to commit the murder of Tupac had developed in Los Angeles during his conversations with Puffy Combs. We realized now that we had some legitimate ownership of [Tupac’s case, too]. Even though the murder took place in Las Vegas, and technically it was their investigation, since the conspiracy to murder happened in our jurisdiction, it gave us a legitimate cause to investigate it.

“Since now we had the star witness, [Keefe D], and now we needed to protect him in order to further the investigation to take it up to where it’s tied to the other conspirators, we needed to really protect that aspect of the case,” he went on. “Because if it got out, ‘Hey, Keefe D’s cooperating,’ or anything like that, well, you can imagine that would’ve interfered with the ongoing investigation.” For what it’s worth, Puff Daddy’s denied any and all accusations when it comes to this.

Diddy Won’t Attend Grammys This Year: Report

by

The various sexual assault allegations against Diddy sent shockwaves throughout the industry, both in his own career and that of so many others. Moreover, as one of music’s most prolific and wide-ranging moguls, it’s clear that this has affected a lot of pop culture these days. One question that folks had, for example, is whether Sean Combs will attend the 2024 Grammys, given his nomination for Best Progressive R&B Album for The Love Album: Off The Grid. It marks his first solo nomination since 2004, in which he won Best Rap Group/Duo Performance for “Shake Ya Tailfeather” featuring Nelly and Murphy Lee.

Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Diddy will not attend this year’s ceremony, taking place on February 4. This news allegedly comes directly from one of his representatives, who spoke to the outlet about this decision as he also faces shut-outs from reality TV programs and many more consequences. Furthermore, back in December, the Recording Academy stated to Radar Online that they are “taking this matter very seriously and are in the process of evaluating it with the time and care that it deserves.” If this news is true, then perhaps we will never know how the Grammys’ organizers would’ve truly handled this situation.

Diddy At The REVOLT & AT&T Summit In 2019

Regardless, we have a not-so-promising idea. For example, this is what the Recording Academy’s CEO, Harvey Mason Jr., expressed when The Hollywood Reporter asked him about other controversial figures like Louis C.K. and Dave Chappelle receiving Grammy nominations last year. “We don’t control who the voters vote for,” he stated. “If voters feel like a creator deserves a nomination, they’re going to vote for them.

“If there’s someone that’s been nominated that we don’t necessarily agree with, we’re not going to remove a nomination,” Mason Jr. continued. “We’re never going to be in the business of evaluat[ing] them on the scale of morality. Our job is to evaluate the art and the quality of the art. The thing that we can control is making sure that people that attend our events feel safe… and don’t feel threatened by anyone.” For more news and the latest updates on Diddy, stay logged into HNHH.

Diddy Dismisses Ex-Nanny’s Move To Sanction Him In New Lawsuit Motion: Report

by

Diddy’s legal trouble turned much nastier this year thanks to accusations of sexual assault, and his other lawsuits still rage on. Moreover, a new development emerged in his ex-nanny Raven Wales-Walden’s case against him for alleged wrongful termination, according to court documents obtained by Radar Online. Specifically, she claimed that Sean Combs and his team refused to provide important legal documentation in this case, asking for compensation in the form of $5,000. “Defendants have been completely evasive in their discovery responses,” Wales-Walden’s lawyer stated concerning this aspect. He provided this paperwork, but blasted these moves in court via his legal representative.

“Instead of filing the Motion and wasting Court and party resources, [Raven] should have consulted with [him] on a production schedule in order to understand when they would be producing the documents they committed to,” Diddy’s affiliate expressed. “Sanctions are not warranted under these circumstances, the documents sought have been produced. The Motion was irrelevant to [Diddy’s] production, and [Raven’s] counsel manufactured a dispute that did not exist.” What remains now is to see whether the court will ask for more from these documents or instead become more cautious with Wales-Walden’s requests.

Furthermore, for those unaware, this case emerged in 2022 when Raven Wales-Walden sued Diddy for wrongful termination. She claims to be a relative of his late ex-partner, Kim Porter, and claims he fired her when he found out she was pregnant out of wedlock in 2020. Puff Daddy sought to dismiss this lawsuit in May of this year with the help of a Los Angeles Superior Court judge. According to him, Wales-Walden did not “satisfactorily perform her job responsibilities, and otherwise conduct herself in accordance with the standards and policies of Combs Defendants.”

Meanwhile, the Bad Boy mogul alleged that he acted through “reasonable steps to prevent and correct workplace discrimination (if any) and to implement internal grievance processes designed to respond to, correct, remedy, or otherwise avoid the alleged harm, if any. [Raven] unreasonably failed to utilize the preventive and corrective measures that the Combs Defendants provided. Reasonable use of such procedures would have prevented at least some of the harm (if any) that [Raven] alleges to have suffered. [She was] not performing all of her job duties as required. There were some days that [Raven] received compensation for work that [she did] not perform. Thus, wages [were] paid to [Raven] that were not owed.” For more news and the latest updates on Diddy, stick around on HNHH.
