Kesha made a notable change to the lyrics of her song Tik Tok on Sunday during a performance at Coachella in Indio, California, with Renee Rapp.
The singer, 37, was one of the surprise guests Renee, 24, brought along during her first set at the music festival.
While performing her 2009 hit song, Kesha changed the lyrics from “Wake up in the morning feelin’ like P. Diddy” to “Wake up in the Morning like f**k P. Diddy.”
As they sang the line, both ladies held their middle fingers in the air to reinforce the point.
The lyrical change comes as hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, 54, faces sex trafficking and abuse charges, with his homes in Los Angeles and Miami recently raided by federal agents.

This isn’t the first time Kesha has turned the Diddy reference into her song.
In November last year, Kesha completely removed Diddy’s name from the lyrics after he was accused of rape by ex-girlfriend Cassie in a bombshell lawsuit.
The star removed the Diddy reference during shows in Oakland and at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
During her performances she changed the lyrics to: ‘Wake up in the morning’, I feel just like me.’
Kesha seemed to show solidarity with Cassie, after she filed a lawsuit against record producer Dr. in 2014. Luke.
She alleged that he drugged and raped her in 2005 and emotionally abused her for years.
He in turn accused her of defaming him, saying she had made up her claims in an attempt to get out of her recording contract, and that a trial would take place in New York this summer.
But in a joint statement in June 2023, it was announced that the pair had reached a resolution in the case.

Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided on March 25 in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation amid multiple sexual misconduct lawsuits.
Recently, the I’ll Be Missing You singer was named as a co-defendant in a lawsuit alleging that his son Christian “King” Combs sexually assaulted a woman who worked on a yacht he chartered.
The lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court says Combs created the circumstances that led to the attack and paid to cover it up afterward.
Aaron Dyer, an attorney for Sean and Christian Combs, called the lawsuit “lewd and meritless” in a statement, adding, “We will file a motion to dismiss this outrageous claim.”
The raids came after the Harlem-born hip-hop star was hit with a slew of lawsuits for sexual assault, rape and other crimes after settling his ex-girlfriend Cassie’s similar lawsuit in November.
‘Enough is enough. Over the past few weeks, I have sat and watched as people tried to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” Diddy wrote on December 6 in his only statement on the matter.

“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I have not done any of the horrible things alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
“I have decided to resolve this matter amicably, under terms over which I have some control,” Cassie said in a statement.
Combs, a three-time Grammy winner and founder of Bad Boy Records, is among the most influential hip-hop producers and managers of the past thirty years.
He turned his hip-hop empire into a broader business empire that includes private-label liquor, fashion and a TV network.
