Kesha Sebert, famously known as Ke$ha, has made a triumphant comeback in the music industry after nearly a four year gap. Before her newly released album entitled <\/span>Rainbow<\/span><\/i>, Kesha hadn\u2019t published any music since her collaboration with PitBull on the hit song, \u201cTimber\u201d in 2013. \u00a0The standstill , however, wasn’t the fault of Kesha directly, but an ongoing feud with her producer <\/span>Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald, professionally known as as Dr. Luke. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It started in October 2014 , when Kesha sued her producer for sexual assault, battery, sexual harassment, gender violence, emotional abuse, and violation of California business practices. Kesha states in her testimony that Dr. Luke had drugged her and \u00a0had sexual contact with her ( with and without consent ) upon several occasions. She also claims that the eating disorder she was later institutionalized for was a direct result to Dr. Luke\u2019s emotional abuse. Dr. Luke , however, filed a countersuit against Kesha, her mother, and management claiming that the accusations made were completely fabricated. Later in the year, he asked the judge to dismiss the case. On June 9, 2015 they changed the defense from attacking the producer to attacking the music company. Mark Geragos , Kesha\u2019s attorney, explains the reasoning behind changing the subject of the case when stating that the Sony Music Company \u201cturned a blind eye\u201d to the abuse Kesha was enduring.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The counterclaims and countersuits continued for 3 very long years. However, Kesha\u2019s fans, supporters, and fellow artists stood with her. Celebrities such as George Takei, Zedd, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga offered money, emotional support, and to even take on producing Kesha\u2019s music if her contract with Dr. Luke was broken. Many other celebrities supported her through social media. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kesha has lost every case she has filled for thus far, however, she is still fighting. She stated that she wanted to release music for her supporters and fans. Kesha finally released the single \u201cPraying\u201d on July 5, 2017 . Kesha stated in an essay she wrote for Lenny Letter, \u201c This song is about me finding peace in the fact that I can’t control everything \u2014 because trying to control everyone was killing me. It’s about learning to let go and realize that the universe is in control of my fate, not me.\u201d The song was released on Dr. Luke\u2019s record label \u201cKemosabe Records\u201d. Her third album \u201cRainbow\u201d Released August 7, 2017 also under Dr. Luke\u2019s name. After all was said and done, Kesha stated, \u201cthis lawsuit [has been] so heavy on my once free spirit, I can only pray to one day feel that happiness again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
