Kesha and Katy Perry are reportedly in a quiet feud following the release of Perry’s recent song, “Woman’s World.” This track is produced by Dr. Luke, a controversial figure Kesha has accused of abuse. Perry’s collaboration with Dr. Luke, combined with her working relationship with him on past hits, has created tension with Kesha.
Back in the late 2000s, Kesha and Perry were friendly. Kesha even made an appearance in Perry’s breakout song “I Kissed a Girl” and the two were seen hanging out together. However, their friendship faded, particularly when Perry worked with Dr. Luke, the producer Kesha has publicly accused of physical and emotional abuse. Perry’s new song, produced by Dr. Luke, seemed to prompt a subtle jab from Kesha.
Lady Gaga has now entered the fray, taking a clear stand in support of Kesha. On social media, Gaga posted about being back in the studio, despite her busy schedule with the upcoming *Joker* sequel, *Joker: Folie à Deux*. She expressed her excitement about making new music, and Kesha joined in the comments, excitedly supporting Gaga’s return. Gaga responded with a nod to Kesha’s recent song “Joyride,” which is Kesha’s first release as an independent artist after parting ways with Dr. Luke’s label.
Fans have noticed that Lady Gaga’s support for Kesha has sparked discussions online, especially in contrast to Perry’s continued collaboration with Dr. Luke. This support from Gaga seems to have intensified the spotlight on Perry, whose new song hasn’t performed well and has been criticized for not supporting female solidarity.
Lady Gaga’s backing of Kesha isn’t new. In 2016, Gaga spoke out in defense of Kesha, criticizing those who downplayed her experiences. Gaga’s continued support shows a lasting commitment to standing by Kesha through her struggles.
