Kesha dumped her boyfriend after being freed from her recording contract

Kesha dumped her boyfriend after being freed from her recording contract.

The Rainbow singer left record label Kemosabe in December 2023, six months after her long-running legal battle with producer Dr Luke came to an end, and as soon as she heard the news, she began removing other things from her life that didn't make her "feel free".

She told Rolling Stone's Music Now podcast: "When I got this insane call that I was gonna be free in three months’ time, it was like being in a movie. It was such an insane phone call to get. And from that moment onward, I’ve just been on 11. So it’s crazy, but I’m good and I feel very alive...

"Literally the second I got that call, I looked around and was like, 'Anything that does not make me feel free has to go.'

"So I called the guy I was dating and very lovingly was like, this is not it.

"I went to the woods, I started meditating heavily. It’s been this obsession for me to try to see what makes me feel free and what doesn’t, including the stuff in my house. I don’t wanna be beholden to a genre of music.

"Being blonde to be a pop star — it was frying my hair. That doesn’t make me feel free. I’m gonna have f****** roots, goddammit.

"Anything that I feel beholden to, even subconsciously that I’m maybe not even aware of, I’ve started really trying to analyse what feels good and what doesn’t."
