Overview

  • Kesha posted on X “Cassie, I believe you. I love you. Your strength is a beacon for every survivor” hours after Combs’s verdict.
  • A New York jury acquitted Combs on sex trafficking and racketeering charges but convicted him on two counts of transportation for prostitution under the Mann Act; he faces up to 20 years in prison.
  • Ventura’s attorney Doug Wigdor said her testimony was pivotal to the Mann Act convictions and pledged to continue advocating for survivors.
  • In April 2024 at Coachella, Kesha altered “Tik Tok” lyrics to “wake up in the mornin’ like fuck P-Diddy,” and she is planning a permanent change when legally able.
  • Kesha’s own settlement of a long-running Dr. Luke lawsuit in 2023 underscores her ongoing commitment to artist-led protest and survivor solidarity.
