AceShowbiz - Kesha's, formerly Ke$ha, mom is as upset as everyone else is about her daughter's scrapped set at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. After news about the cancellation broke, Pebe Sebert took to Twitter Wednesday afternoon, May 18 to vent her frustration and call out the judge who refused to release the singer from her contract with her alleged rapist Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Record.
"So are Keshas constitutional rights being violated now, judge Lady? Does every adult woman need a mans permission to do what she loves? Do you think that there is one male singer who could ever be 'not allowed to sing' on the Billboard Awards by another man???" Sebert wrote, slamming a New York judge who recently said of Kesha's case, "Every rape is not a gender-motivated hate crime."

"My daughters record company wants her to fail and be broke from them dragging her through court for as long as they can," she continued and then asked other BBMA performers to boycott the forthcoming awards show, adding, "Wouldn't it be nice if other artists stood with Kesha and refused to preform if she is not allowed to sing!"
And how can one person OWN another persons right to sing?
Song is prayer. So can Kesha pray without permission? Where's the line judge lady?

Kesha was forced to cancel her appearance at the 2016 BBMAs after rumors began swirling that she's going to address her ongoing battle with Luke with her performance. She announced the news in an Instagram post shared earlier this week while also shooting down the rumors, saying she actually planned a Bob Dylan tribute.
Dick Clark Productions confirmed that Kesha's record label had prevented her from taking the BBMA stage. "Kesha accepted an invitation to perform on the show and she received written approval from Dr. Luke's record label, Kemosabe Records. Kemosabe subsequently rescinded its approval following a media report on Wednesday, May 11th regarding Kesha's appearance on the BBMAs," the company said in a statement.
