Maren Morris recently changed the lyrics to her song “Rich” to remove a reference to Sean “Diddy” Combs following his recent arrest. Morris performed the new version at a music festival in Kentucky, omitting Diddy’s name from the original lyrics. She later reposted footage from the performance on social media with a caption expressing her feelings towards Diddy.
This adjustment was the first time Morris altered the Diddy name-drop in her 2018 single. Diddy, a music icon with a successful career, has been accused of misconduct and sexual assault. The rapper denied these allegations, but was arrested in New York on charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering, pleading not guilty and being denied bail. His attorney has defended him, stating that Diddy is not a criminal and has cooperated with the investigation.
Joining Morris in condemning Diddy’s actions is Kesha, who previously changed the lyrics to her song “Tik Tok” to remove a mention of Diddy in light of the scandal. Kesha has expressed her support for speaking out against misconduct and standing up for what she believes in. She has encouraged her fans to learn the new version of the song and sing it loudly at her upcoming shows.
In response to the allegations against Diddy, his attorney has emphasized his innocence and cooperation with the investigation. The lawyer has asked for the public to reserve judgment until all the facts are known and expects Diddy to clear his name in court. Diddy is known for his contributions to music, business, and philanthropy, as well as his devotion to his family and the Black community.
Sexual assault is a serious issue, and those who have been affected can seek help from resources like the National Sexual Assault Hotline. It is important for individuals to speak out against wrongdoing and support victims of sexual assault. As the industry continues to address allegations and hold perpetrators accountable, artists like Morris and Kesha are using their platforms to advocate for change and show solidarity with those affected by sexual assault.
