Joe Jonas is the latest celebrity to distance himself from rapper Diddy.
In a video posted to TikTok, Jonas removed lyrics referencing the former Bad Boy boss from his band DNCE’s song “Cake by the Ocean.”
The video was recorded while Jonas was in Lyon, France as part of the Jonas Brothers’ tour. In the song’s original lyrics, Jonas sings: “Walk for me, baby/ I’ll be Diddy, you’ll be Naomi, woah-oh.” However, in the recorded footage, Diddy’s name appears to have been omitted and only supermodel Naomi Campbell is mentioned in the song.
Jonas isn’t the only celebrity to leave out Diddy’s name in lyrics that previously featured him. Kesha did just that with her song “Tik Tok”. In April, Kesha took the stage at Coachella where she performed with Reneé Rapp. They performed together Billboard The song topped the Hot 100 but there was one big twist.
In the song, Kesha changed the lyrics from “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy” to “F— P. Diddy.”
