Kesha makes cheeky comment over TikTok ban

Kesha is having a laugh over the upcoming TikTok ban.

The singer-songwriter, 37, took to Instagram on Sunday with a pun-intended video message for her fans in the wake of the new ban on the Chinese app.

“TikTok may be temporary, but TiK ToK is forever,” she wrote over a video of herself in which the chorus of her popular song TiK ToK played in the background.

Kesha's post caught the attention of several fellow singers as Natasha Bedingfield said “Exactly!!!” in the comments section while musician Hayley Kiyoko also praised the singer, commenting, “icon.”

Her fans also found it amusing as one deemed Kesha “the original Queen of Tik Tok” in the comments while another fan joked, “There will ALWAYS be the one and ONLY Tik Tok!”

Tik Tok was here before and it will still be here after TikTok,” a third fan also chimed in with some sassy emojis.

Kesha debuted her hit single in 2010, and it spent nine weeks in the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

Last year at Coachella, the hip-hop singer even changed the first line of TiK ToK, which refers to Sean “Diddy” Combs while he battles sexual abuse and sex trafficking allegations and lawsuits.

The line formerly went, "Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy," which she changed to "Wake up in the morning feeling like, f*** P. Diddy!," for her onstage performance.

The ban on TikTok is part of a legislation overwhelmingly passed by Congress and was signed by Biden last year. It requires the popular app’s Chinese owners, ByteDance, to sell it over fears China's government could use its data to manipulate or harm Americans.

It is pertinent to mention that TikTok pushed back and criticised the sell-or-ban legislation as “conceived and pushed through based on inaccurate, flawed and hypothetical information, resulting in outright censorship of the American people.”
