Ke$ha Ready to Make a "Tik Tok" Comeback
Singer Teases New Single at Coachella
June 20, 2023 | 6-Minute Read
Ke$ha sent shockwaves through the Coachella crowd when she joined Reneé Rapp for a surprise performance. However, it was one particular lyric change that stole the show.
The iconic line from Ke$ha's 2009 hit "Tik Tok" has always been "I'm a motherf***in' rockstar." But at Coachella, Ke$ha and Rapp sang a modified version: "I'm a motherf***in' P. Diddy."
The lyric change sent social media into a frenzy, with fans speculating on its significance. While some believe it's a nod to the late rap mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, others see it as a symbol of Ke$ha's newfound freedom after her legal battle with Dr. Luke.
In 2014, Ke$ha filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke, accusing him of sexual assault and battery. The legal battle dragged on for years, with Ke$ha ultimately being released from her contract with Dr. Luke's label in 2019.
Since then, Ke$ha has been working on new music, collaborating with artists such as Rick Rubin and her beloved cat, Mr. Peeps. Her upcoming album, "Gag Order," is set to be a breakthrough moment for the singer and marks a departure from her previous bubblegum pop sound.
The lyric change at Coachella suggests that Ke$ha is ready to embrace a more confrontational and empowered persona in her music. The song "Tik Tok" has always been a celebration of youth and rebellion, and the updated lyric seems to reflect Ke$ha's own journey of overcoming adversity.
