Ms. Pebe Sebert (aka Kesha’s mom) has had it! The announcement of Dr. Luke blocking Kesha from performing a cover of Bob Dylan’s “It Ain’t Me, Babe” not only devastated Kesha and her fans, but angered mama bear as well. She’s fed up with the excessive amount of power that Dr. Luke has on Kesha’s professional life, so she took to Twitter earlier today with a lengthy rant on the matter.
My daughters record company wants her to fail and be broke from them dragging her through court for as long as they can

How much more public abuse does my daughter have to take before someone says " Enough is enough"!

Her rant did not stop with pointing out the wrongdoings of her record company. Kesha’s mom highlighted the wrongdoings of the legal system in this instance. She’s livid that gender discrimination seems to play a significant part in Kesha being under Dr. Luke’s thumb.
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?— keshas mom (@grannywrapper) May 18, 2016
Does Kesha have the right to pursue her happiness? Or did they only mean that for rich men?

Do you think that there is one male singer who could ever be "not allowed to sing " on the Billboard Awards by another man???

Amidst her rant, she uttered a bit of wishful thinking. She called on other performers to stand with Kesha and boycott the Billboard Music Awards.
Wouldn't it be nice if other artists stood with Kesha and refused to preform if she is not allowed to sing!

Will this call-to-action produce results? We’ll have to wait until Sunday at the Billboard Music Awards to find out.
