Kesha has changed the lyrics to hit song 'TiK ToK' after P Diddy arrest
Kesha changed the lyrics to one of her most iconic songs in response to the lawsuit filed against P Diddy, real name Sean Combs.
Last November the singer Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs accusing him of abusing and raping her, with them reaching a settlement the following day.
Footage of Combs and Ventura obtained by CNN was later released which showed him assaulting her in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.
In the video he was shown to have grabbed her and thrown her to the floor before kicking her twice.

Responding to the footage, one of Cassie Ventura's representatives said: "The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behaviour of Mr Combs.
"Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light."
Combs posted an apology video, and earlier this week with an indictment noting that prosecutors allege he threatened and abused women 'to fulfill his sexual desires'.
He is currently in jail after a judge rejected bail, with prosecutors arguing that he poses a 'serious flight risk', while he has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges laid against him.
In response to the initial lawsuit the singer Kesha had changed the lyrics to her song 'TiK ToK', which long predates the video platform of the same name, to pour scorn upon P Diddy.
You might remember that the song opened with the lyric: "Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy."
Last year during a stop on her Only Love tour, Kesha changed the lyrics to 'wake up in the morning feeling just like me', but when she appeared at Coachella earlier this year she changed them again to 'wake up in the morning like f**k P Diddy'.
According to TMZ, the Coachella version is the one that she's going to use going forwards, and she wants her fans learning the lyric 'f**k P Diddy' if they want to sing along with her.
When asked if the change would be permanent she said: "Yes, it will be. The fans should learn it for my upcoming.
"I want to hear it louder than ever. I stand by that. I’m not the kind of person that shuts the f**k up, I know what I stand for.
"I know my integrity is rock-solid, so I speak the truth. The industry can kinda, like, suck my d**k."
