Kesha has once again addressed a lyric from her discography that has garnered controversy, specifically the phrase ‘I’ll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer’ from her 2010 song “Cannibal.” In a recent conversation with People, the pop icon expressed her surprise at being “re-canceled” for this line, acknowledging its contentious nature. Kesha conveyed, “If some people aren’t offended by what I’m doing, I’m probably not doing a very good job of being a pop star.”
This reflection comes more than a year after Kesha modified her debut single “TikTok,” changing a lyric involving Sean “Diddy” Combs during a live performance this April. Her candid approach to discussing difficult subjects and expressing her artistic vision has resulted in significant discussions about accountability and sensitivity in pop culture.
Kesha has been on a journey of personal and artistic reclamation. She recently announced her sixth studio album titled “Period,” which is set to release under her own label, Kesha Records. This shift marks a pivotal moment in her career, allowing her creative freedom and control over her music.
In addition to her musical endeavors, Kesha has shown support for individuals speaking out about their experiences. She tweeted her belief in Casandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura following the recent verdict in a high-profile trial involving Diddy. Kesha’s words were aimed at empowering survivors, demonstrating her commitment to advocacy alongside her artistic endeavors.
As Kesha prepares for her upcoming concerts with the Scissor Sisters on their joint tour, she reflects on her growth and newfound freedom. She shares her goal of helping others feel seen and loved through her music, emphasizing that her energy is now focused on uplifting her audience.
With her sharp wit and dedication to authenticity, Kesha continues to redefine her narrative while fostering a sense of connection with her fans.
