Joe Jonas Removes Diddy Lyric From Cake By The Ocean At Paris Concert; Discover Other Artists Who Have Made Similar Moves

As a conscientious and socially aware individual who has had the misfortune of witnessing the devastating impact of abuse in my personal life, I find it heartening to see artists like Joe Jonas, Kesha, and Maren Morris taking a firm stand against those who have been accused of such heinous acts. In an industry that often seems more concerned with image and profit than with morality, it is refreshing to see these artists prioritizing principles over popularity.


It seems that Joe Jonas has removed a reference to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs from his music. At the Jonas Brothers concert on Saturday, September 28 at the LDLC Arena in Paris, the 35-year-old singer performed his hit song “Cake By The Ocean,” but with a slight change.

In a performance clip from the show, it’s clear that Jonas changed the lyrics of his song, swapping “Walk for me, baby / I’ll be Diddy. You’ll be Naomi” to “Walk for me, baby / I’ll be watching you be Naomi.” This lyric alludes to the reported romance between the musician (often referred to as Diddy) and supermodel Naomi Campbell in the early 2000s.

It’s not just Joe Jonas who has changed his lyrics due to Diddy’s escalating legal issues; Kesha, whose debut hit “Tik Tok” starts with the line “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy,” also made an on-the-spot adjustment during her performance with Renee Rapp at Coachella in April.

“Wake up in the morning feeling like, f*** P. Diddy,” the adjusted lyric goes.

Back in August, I made a significant personal decision – one that I’ve chosen to make permanent. For my forthcoming performances, I invite you all to join me in this change. I can’t wait to feel the power of your voices amplifying it more than ever before. Rest assured, I stand by this choice.

During the Bourbon & Beyond music festival last month, Maren Morris slightly altered the words to her song “Rich”. Instead of singing, “Boy, I’d be rich, head to toe Prada / Benz in the driveway, yacht in the water / Vegas at the Mandarin, high-roller gambling / me and Diddy drippin’ diamonds like Marilyn,” Morris left out the reference to Diddy.

54-year-old Combs was taken into custody at a New York hotel on September 16 following an indictment by a grand jury. The allegations against him include making threats, abusing, and coercing women over a long period to satisfy his sexual needs, safeguard his reputation, and hide his actions, as stated in the indictment.

Later on, he faced accusations for his involvement in racketeering conspiracies, forced sex trafficking, deceitful or coerced sex trafficking, and facilitating the transport of individuals for prostitution.

On September 17th, Diddy contested the accusations made against him and asserted his innocence. Despite this, federal judges refused to grant him bail on two separate occasions. As his next court date falls on October 9th, he remains incarcerated at Brooklyn’s well-known Metropolitan Detention Center.

If you’re dealing with issues related to assault or abuse and need help, don’t hesitate to contact a local mental health professional, non-governmental organization, or talk to someone trustworthy about your situation. Various hotlines are at your service for this purpose.
