Kesha Promises To Diss Diddy On Re-Recorded Version Of “TiK ToK”

Kesha has made her distaste of Diddy’s allegations and actions very clear over the past few months, especially since her biggest song shouts him out uncritically. But that was before Sean Combs’ supposed (and his confirmed) crimes fully came into light, and while celebrating the song in question’s anniversary (“TiK ToK” came out 15 years ago in 2009) on Wednesday (August 7), she revealed that she would make sure this scandal wouldn’t taint the legacy of her track any further. Moreover, the Los Angeles native had previously changed the lyrics to the record to “f**k P. Diddy” instead of “feeling like P. Diddy” alongside Reneé Rapp during their Coachella performance (as well as other events), and it’s a change that she will make official on a re-recorded “TiK ToK” version.

“TiK ToK was the first single that I put into this world that had my voice AND my name credited!!!!” Kesha’s message about her now-Diddy-dissing cut began. “I remember making it fun and happy because that’s how I felt and wanted others to feel. What I’m so proud of is that’s how this song STILL makes me feel, through it all, and those are emotions I want all of us to connect to. 15 (!!!!!!) years later, I see this song as a snapshot into the way I saw the world at the time.

Kesha Will Include Diddy Diss In Re-Recording Of “TiK ToK”

“That girl was naive and wild and playful,” Kesha continued. “This song eternalizes a side of myself that I love very much, and now see I have to protect fiercely. The world has changed so much and so have I.⁣ I absolutely love the new lyric change. (Shout out to @reneerapp) Yes it is permanent. ⁣I will re-record it when I have legal rights to!

“Now, my first baby stands for so much,” Kesha concluded. “It stands for fiercely protecting fun and unadulterated joy, in myself and in others. The whole ride has been absolute insanity, but the JOY is still riding. ⁣I hope you all can find 3 1/2 minutes of play in this song and connect with your wild child-like joy [red heart emoji]. Thank you for making my life so magical animals, it’s one for the books! ⁣x.”

Diddy Gets Two Middle Fingers From Kesha At WeHo Pride: Watch

Late last year, Kesha decided to switch up the lyrics to her 2009 track “Tik Tok,” omitting Diddy’s name in light of the allegations brought against him by his ex-girlfriend Cassie and several others. Since then, disturbing footage of the Bad Boy Records found physically assaulting Cassie in 2016 has surfaced online. For obvious reasons, this only compounded the explosive backlash related to everything he’s accused of.

This also appears to have prompted Kesha to double down on the lyrical change, and even take things up a notch at a recent performance. Last night, she graced the stage at WeHo Pride, where she made it extremely clear how she feels about the mogul. “Wake up in the morning like f*** P. Diddy!” she shouted onstage, flipping off the crowd alongside several backup dancers. For those who don’t recall, the original lyrics are “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy.”

Kesha Says “F*ck P. Diddy”

 

Of course, the crowd went wild, as they did when the songstress did something similar onstage with Renee Rapp at Coachella in April. It earned her praise from countless social media users and peers, including one of Diddy’s most vocal critics, 50 Cent. He took to Instagram to share his reaction to the switch-up as the clip made its rounds online. “LOL she said [middle finger emoji] Fvck P DIDDY,” he wrote. “HAHAAHAHA [eyeball emoji] PUFFY LIKE 50 TOLD HER TO SAY THAT!” Clearly, Kesha is having a major comeback, though the same certainly can’t be said for Diddy.

After the Cassie assault footage went viral, he apologized in a short Instagram video, though most viewers didn’t buy it. He went on to be hit with two additional lawsuits from women accusing him of sexual assault and more. What do you think of Kesha changing up the lyrics to her hit track “Tik Tok”? What about her flipping Diddy off at WeHo Pride? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

TikTok Sues US Government Over Potential Ban

TikTok Sues US Government Over Potential Ban

TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, have taken legal action against the U.S. government following Congress and President Biden’s enactment of a recent law. This law mandates TikTok to sell its operations within nine months or face expulsion from U.S. app stores. TikTok argues that this legislation infringes upon its constitutional rights, particularly the First Amendment. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., was anticipated, given ByteDance’s firm stance against selling TikTok. The company maintains that the data of its American users is safeguarded.

“There is no question: the Act will force a shutdown of TikTok by January 19, 2025,” the lawsuit states, “silencing the 170 million Americans who use the platform to communicate in ways that cannot be replicated elsewhere,” the lawsuit says. “For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than one billion people worldwide.”

The suite continued, “qualified divestiture’ demanded by the Act to allow TikTok to continue operating in the United States is simply not possible: not commercially, not technologically, not legally. And certainly not on the 270-day timeline required by the Act. Petitioners have repeatedly explained this to the U.S. government, and sponsors of the Act were aware that divestment is not possible.” 

“There are good reasons why Congress has never before enacted a law like this. Consistent with the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of expression, the United States has long championed a free and open Internet — and the Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized that speech “conveyed over the Internet” fully qualifies for “the First Amendment’s protections.” What it comes down to is the Act’s national security argument is iffy and questionable at best. “If Congress can do this, it can circumvent the First Amendment by invoking national security and ordering the publisher of any individual newspaper or website to sell to avoid being shut down. And for TikTok, any such divestiture would disconnect Americans from the rest of the global community on a platform devoted to shared content — an outcome fundamentally at odds with the Constitution’s commitment to both free speech and individual liberty.”

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.

Kesha Flips “Tik Tok” Lyric To “F*ck P Diddy” At Coachella

Kesha joined Reneé Rapp on stage at Coachella on Sunday to perform her 2010 hit song, “TiK ToK.” The chart-topping track famously features the lyric, “Wake up in the mornin’ feelin’ like P Diddy.” However, in light of the recent allegations against the Bad Boy mogul, Kesha used the opportunity to change it into a diss. She and Rapp both sang: “Wake up in the morning like, f*** P Diddy.” They threw up their middle fingers toward the sky as well.

It’s not the first time Kesha has changed the lyric, although it is the most vulgar. Back in November, following Cassie’s bombshell lawsuit against Diddy, she sang, “Wake up in the morning feeling just like me!” while performing on her Only Love Tour in Oakland. Cassie settled the lawsuit just a day later, but the drama has gotten exponentially worse for Diddy in the months since.

Kesha’s move comes after Homeland Security agents raided Diddy’s home in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex trafficking investigation. Diddy is also facing numerous other lawsuits which accuse him of various instances of misconduct and worse. He’s denied all of the claims against him and has yet to face any charges. His lawyer, Aaron Dyers, labeled the raids on his properties a “gross overuse of military-level force” in a statement at the time. “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.

Kesha Omits Diddy’s Name From “Tik Tok” Performance: Watch

More and more celebrities are reacting to the recent horrific allegations against Diddy from Cassie and others. Moreover, the former Bad Boy signee claimed that its mogul, over the course of over a decade, sexually assaulted her and physically abused her. Not only are industry peers reckoning with this news one way or another, but they also recognize how much they have to change some of their work associated with him at this time. That’s true for Kesha, whose pop hit “Tik Tok” opens with the lyrics: “Wake up in the mornin’ feelin’ like P Diddy. Grab my glasses, I’m out the door, I’m gonna hit this city.”

Now, during a recent performance on Saturday (November 18) in Los Angeles for her Only Love Tour, Kesha changed them to show solidarity with- and implicit support for- Cassie and other women in Diddy’s life. “Wake up in the mornin’ feelin’ just like me. Get my glasses, I’m out the door, I’m about to hit this scene,” she sang. Not only that, but this is especially relevant considering the 36-year-old’s own harrowing experience regarding these crimes in the industry.

Kesha’s “Tik Tok” Performance On Saturday: Watch Her Cut Diddy’s Name

While Diddy and Cassie settled the latter’s lawsuit, many celebrities who support her like Kesha expressed disappointment that this situation avoided court. In other cases, others think there’s even more to come. “LOL,” frequent Sean Combs hater 50 Cent reacted to the news of the settlement on Instagram. “He paid that money real quick, should have done that before the sharks saw the blood in the water. And here they come in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 every woman he ever put his hand on.”

Meanwhile, others like Joe Budden don’t think famous people with platforms should always be on top of things like this. “Do y’all think podcasters are coming into work to say that domestic violence, r*pe, sex trafficking, and drugging women is right on some fronts?” he chimed in on his podcast. “Like, do y’all need anybody to say that all of those things are horrifically mortifying?” For more news on Diddy and Kesha, keep checking in with HNHH.

Ice Spice Gushes Over Little Girl’s Costume Mimicking Her, Says She Wants A Kid

It is not breaking news that Ice Spice is taking over hip-hop. Whether it be with her fashion choices, her music, or anything on social media, she is a hot commodity right now. She recently made headlines for the wrong reasons in some people’s eyes. It seems every Halloween the costumes for women continue to be more and more revealing. That is due in part to a lot of societal changes which is something that can be debated until the end of time. But, back to the subject at hand. Ice Spice dressed up as the iconic Betty Boop character. She performed in front of thousands and one fan gave her a bible for her oversexualized get-up.

On top of that, Nikki D also spoke out about the choice of costume. He was not a fan either, saying, “Oh come TF on!!! You mean to tell me, this is true talent… The Female genre of hip hop today is the “prostitution era”, fight me!!” Whether or not you have a positive or negative view of Ice Spice’s fame, you have to admit she is on top of the world.

North West Seen Wearing Similar Kanye West Outfit In Kim Kardashian’s TikTok

The daughter of rap superstar Kanye West and megastar model Kim Kardashian is rocking a very familiar outfit. In a recent TikTok video from Kim and North’s joint account, the two are having a blast in Tokyo, Japan. Some of Kim K’s friends are with them on this trip, but that is not what is interesting here. North West’s choice of clothing is what has some people talking and saying “Wait a minute!?” For those who are Kanye West super fans, back in the early 2000s, he was known for rocking jeans and striped polo t-shirts.

North is sharing some heavy influence from her daddy’s early interview before the release of his debut album. Kanye wore a striped orange and blue polo over a green button-up underneath, along with a pair of jeans. The daughter of the aspiring lawyer is skipping through the streets of Tokyo wearing almost an identical set and lip-syncing to Estelle’s smash hit “American Boy.” Ironically, that song features Ye and talks about Estelle wanting to meet a man who can take her around the world. Kind of like how Kim and North traveled across the globe to an unfamiliar place.

North West Channels Her Inner Kanye

It of course went on to be a terrific success, with making its appearance in the No. 2 slot on the Billboard 200 album chart.

What are your thoughts on this TikTok from Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West? Why do you think Kim and North decided to make a video to reference Kanye West?
