Trigger warning: This article contains references to abuse and trafficking.

Kesha, 37, is one the famous artists, who is recognized for multiple songs but is majorly known for her track, TiK ToK. Now the song has completed its 15 years and it’s surely making the listers feel nostalgic.

The Timber vocalist took to her X handle on August 7 (Wednesday) to celebrate the song’s 15th anniversary. In the lengthy post, she also gave a major update about the song’s lyric change in the first line of the track.

The lyric change is because of rapper, Sean Diddy Combs who is currently facing multiple allegations related to abuse and trafficking. The song’s first lyric goes, “Wake up in the morning’ feeling like P. Diddy.”

In Kesha’s X post, she stated, “TiK ToK was the first single that I put into this world that had my voice AND my name credited!!!! I remember making it fun and happy because that’s how I felt and wanted others to feel. What I’m so proud of is that’s how this song STILL makes me feel, through it all, and those are emotions I want all of us to connect to.”

The 37-year-old singer went on to say that the song captured the way she viewed the world at that time and showed the side of hers that she loved a lot. She stated that she has changed with the world.

She wrote, “That girl was naive and wild and playful. This song eternalizes a side of myself that I love very much, and now see I have to protect fiercely. The world has changed so much and so have I.”

She further credited singer and actress Renee Rapp for the changes in the track’s lyric and confirmed that it is a permanent change. Once she has the legal rights, she will record the song again.

Kesha wrote, “Now, my first baby stands for so much. It stands for fiercely protecting my fun and unadulterated joy, in myself and in others.”

The 37-year-old concluded with, “The whole ride has been absolute insanity, but the JOY is still riding. I hope you all can find 3 1/2 minutes of play in this song and connect with your wild child-like joy.”

It has been a saddening last few days for India at the 2024 Paris Olympics as wrestler Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from her gold medal match for being overweight for her 50kg wrestling bout. 

Despite her best measures, the star athlete unfortunately fell short by 100 grams, forcing a disqualification. Post the news breaking out, several celebrities came forward in support of Vinesh.

Unfortunately for fans of Vinesh and fans of wrestling, the Olympian has decided to call it quits on her wrestling career post the disqualification.

Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu voiced out the nation’s feelings when she reposted a post about Vinesh’s retirement. Words were too heavy to describe the emotions as Sam shared a heartbreak emoji, summing up the overall sentiment of a billion Indians.

According to the PTI (Press Trust of India), Vinesh Phogat has retired from the sport. In her retirement message, the athlete stated, “Ma(mother), wrestling has won, I have lost. Please forgive me, your dreams, and my courage, everything is broken. I don’t have any more strength now. Goodbye wrestling 2001-2024. I shall be indebted to you all. Forgive me.”

Matt Damon shares his decades-long bond with The Instigators co-star Casey Affleck. Damon has been friends with the Affleck brothers, Ben and Casey, for almost 40 years and reflects on what it’s like to work with someone he’s “grown up” with.

Damon is reuniting with his dear friend Casey Affleck for the Apple Original film The Instigators. This heist comedy follows Rory and Cobb, unlikely partners who team up for a heist. When things go awry, they must outrun the police, backward bureaucrats, and a vengeful crime boss.

This isn’t the first time Casey Affleck and Matt Damon have teamed up for a heist movie. They previously appeared in The Ocean’s Trilogy, though they were part of an ensemble cast. The Instigators focuses solely on their characters and the chaos that ensues during a heist.

Their collaboration goes beyond professional ties; Matt, Casey, and Ben Affleck have been friends for a long time. Reflecting on reuniting with Casey for this major project, Matt said, “We have this 43-year shared history; we grew up together. There’s an underlying understanding of who we are.”

Matt, accustomed to the shifting dynamics of Hollywood, appreciates that there’s no pretense between him and Casey. He noted that their long-standing relationship means they don’t need to engage in diplomatic niceties, making their collaboration smooth and natural.
