Kesha shares new version of TiK ToK in response to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs' arrest

Warning: This article contains discussion of rape which some readers may find distressing.

Kesha has shared a brand-new version of her infamous 'TiK ToK' song in response to Sean 'Diddy' Combs' arrest this week on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

The American rapper and producer was arrested in Manhattan earlier this week (16 September) after being indicted by a grand jury.

Combs - who has pleaded not guilty - has been accused of having 'abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfil his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct' alongside using 'employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled' to 'attempt to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice'.

His arrest follows a string of ongoing sexual assault allegations, including rape, sex trafficking and abuse - all of which he strongly denies.

Speaking after his arrest, an attorney for Diddy said he is an 'innocent man with nothing to hide'.

Since the news broke, Kesha, formerly stylised as Ke$ha, shared a snippet of an updated throwback track to her 3.6 million followers on TikTok just yesterday (18 September) and it's already gone viral.

Any fans of Kesha will remember the moment the world stood still when her debut single 'TiK ToK' finally dropped.

Amidst the glitter eye make-up, feather hair extensions and denim shorts distressed beyond belief - we all eagerly watched on as Kesha woke up after a pretty wild night in someone's bathtub.

Iconic.

The track originally started off with the lyrics: "Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy / Grab my glasses, I'm out the door / I'm gonna hit this city."

While it's not clear what the singer-songwriter meant by these lyrics at the time, she's since updated them in light of Combs' arrest.

The updated lyrics according to the TikTok clip, which sees Kesha and pals putting their middle fingers up, now read: "Wake up in the morning like f*ck P Diddy."

The video has clocked up over nine millions viewers and fans are rushing in left, right and centre to commend the 'We R Who We R' hit-maker for the tweak.

Warning: strong language

One TikTok user quipped: "I like this version better!"

A second begged: "Hahaha waitttt you're re-releasing it? I mean - you have to!"

"Hey Kesha babe can we get this version put on Spotify please cause this one of my favourite songs," echoed a third while a fourth chirped: "I can’t hear any other version now. I don’t any other lyrics, periodt."

"Ke$ha’s updated version of TiKToK on the TikTok app is suuuuchhhhhh ICONIC behaviour," gushed another.
