Tonight, Kesha will perform during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. This leaves many fans wondering if they’ll ring in the New Year while yelling “f*ck P. Diddy” with the pop singer/songwriter. While it’s not set in stone, the answer is likely yes.

If Kesha performs “Tik Tok” during the New Year’s Eve celebration, she’ll ring in the new year while firing lyrical shots at Sean Combs. She changed the line Wake up in the mornin’ feeling like P. Diddy to Wake up in the mornin’ like f*ck P. Diddy earlier this year.

The change came after the hip-hop mogul faced a mountain of allegations including sexual assault and domestic abuse. He’s currently in the Metropolitan Detention Center, a federal lockup in Brooklyn, while he awaits trial. Combs is also facing dozens of lawsuits along with the criminal charges. Kesha’s motivation for changing the “Tik Tok” lyric is clear—and fair.
Kesha on Her “F*ck P. Diddy” Lyric Change
Kesha confirmed that she officially changed the lyric in question after debuting the song’s new iteration during her Coachella performance. “The fans should learn it for my upcoming shows,” she said. “I want to hear it louder than ever. I stand by that,” she added.
“I’m not the kind of person that shuts the f*ck up. I know what I stand for, I know my integrity is rock-solid, so I speak the truth,” she added. Addressing any blowback that might come from the overt statement, she added, “The industry can kinda, like, suck my d*ck.”
Will She Perform the Song on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve?
There’s a good chance that Kesha will perform “Tik Tok” during tonight’s New Year’s Eve celebration.
She co-wrote the song with producers Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco and released in 2009 it as the lead single from her debut album Animal. It was a massive hit, topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 9 weeks. The track also went No. 1 in multiple countries including Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
More than that, it’s still her best-known song and is the perfect way to get a party started or keep it going. In short, it would be surprising if she didn’t perform the megahit tonight.
