Kesha dropped Sean 'Diddy' Combs' name from the lyrics of her hit song, after he was accused of rape by ex-girlfriend Cassie in a bombshell lawsuit.
The 36-year-old singer removed a Diddy, 54, reference from the 2009 track 'TiK ToK' during a show on Friday in Oakland, and on Saturday at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
Kesha - who is currently on her Only Love Tour - originally opened up the song with lyrics: 'Wake up in the mornin' feelin' like P. Diddy.'
But during her recent performances, she changed it to: 'Wake up in the morning' feelin' just like me.'
Kesha previously performed the song in Denver a few days prior to Cassie's lawsuit, with the lyrics still intact.

Kesha appears to be standing in solidarity with Cassie, after she herself previously filed a lawsuit against record producer Dr. Luke in 2014.
She alleged that he drugged and raped her in 2005 and emotionally abused her for years.
In turn, he accused her of defaming him, saying she fabricated her claims to try to get out of her record contract, and a trial had been set for this summer in New York.
But a joint statement released in June 2023 announced that the pair had reached a resolution in the case.
'Only God knows what happened that night as I have always said,' Kesha said.
'I cannot recount everything that happened. I am looking forward to closing the door on this chapter of my life and beginning a new one.
'I wish nothing but peace to all parties involved.'
Meanwhile Diddy was spotted for the first time since settling his lawsuit with Cassie on Saturday.
The New York-born rapper held his head in his hands as he broke cover outside his mansion in Star Island, Miami, Florida.

Accusations: On Thursday, Diddy was accused of rape and repeated physical abuse by Cassie. The suit alleged he controlled and abused Cassie for over a decade, plied her with drugs, beat her, and force her to have sex with multiple male prostitutes
He was seen alongside a woman - believed to be his longtime chief of staff Kristina Khorram - as she consoled him while they both sat wearing relaxed clothing on a sofa.
R&B singer Cassie on Thursday filed a federal lawsuit against Diddy where she aired the explosive rape allegations at the hip-hop legend.
But on Friday they both released statements announcing they had reached an agreement. No specific details on the terms of the settlement were revealed.
'I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,' Cassie said.
'I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support.'
Diddy said: 'We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love.'
Diddy's attorney also stressed that by settling his client was not admitting any wrongdoing.
The suit alleged he controlled and abused Cassie for over a decade, plied her with drugs, beat her, and force her to have sex with multiple male prostitutes.
The pair, who met in 2005 when she was 19, split in 2018. The lawsuit claimed before the end of their relationship he forced his way into her home and raped her.

Diddy vehemently denied all of the 'offensive and outrageous allegations.'
Cassie said in a legal document that was filed in Manhattan's Federal District Court: 'After years in silence and darkness.
'I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships.'
Her lawyer Douglas Wigdor claimed Diddy offered her 'eight figures to silence her and prevent the filing of this lawsuit' but that she declined to 'give a voice to all woman who suffer in silence'.
On Friday night, following the settlement between the pair Wigdor added: 'I am very proud of Ms. Ventura for having the strength to go public with her lawsuit. She ought to be commended for doing so.'
