In light of recent events involving troubled pop star Kesha, many were glad to see her on the performance roster for the 2016 BBMAs. However, a spokesperson close to the singer has stated that she will be canceling her performance of her new collaboration with Zedd at the ceremony. In 2015, the singer came forward and alleged that her producer, Dr. Luke, had sexually and verbally assaulted her on multiple occasions. The allegations were followed by a widely publicized court-trial, in which Dr. Luke was found not guilty. In an attempt to release herself from her contract (ending in 2019) with the producer, Kesha gained a massive amount of support from fans, and is expected to return to court to dispute the contract later this year. In a report by USA Today, it is stated that the reason for her performance being canceled is that Dr. Luke refused to grant her permission, due to the fact that she is still signed to his label, Kemosabe Records.
