Information available suggests that musician, Kesha, has opted to drop musician and business mogul Diddy’s name from her biggest song during her concert in Los Angeles. 

Her hit song, Tik Tok, starts off with the line, “Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy.”

However, following the filing of a lawsuit by singer Cassie against the rapper, Kesha has changed the lyrics to, “wake up in the morning feeling just like me.” 

This move would seemingly be in support of Cassie following her past relationship with Diddy and how she indicated she had been treated.

Available facts indicate that since they met in 2005, Diddy has been consistently abusing her, plying her with drugs, and forcing her to have sex with numerous male prostitutes, while he filmed it all. 

Per the suit, in the year 2018, as their relationship neared its end, Diddy forced his way into her (Cassie) home and took advantage of her. 

“After years in silence and darkness,” Cassie said in a statement, “I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships.”

Diddy’s lawyer, reacting to the claims after the details of the lawsuit were made public, said that his client has categorically denied all the claims.  

“Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations. For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail. Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs’s reputation and seeking a payday.”

It later came to light that a settlement was made for an undisclosed amount of money, and Diddy’s lawyer claimed the settlement doesn’t necessarily connote Diddy is guilty. 

 “Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing. Mr. Combs‘ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best.”
