Kesha seemingly gives blunt response to news Katy Perry is working with Dr Luke
Kesha appears to have things to say about Katy Perry's upcoming album in collaboration with record producer Dr Luke.
Perry has long been teasing her next album, with her last being released four years ago in 2020.
In recent days, she sent music fans into a frenzy and announced the release of her next single 'Woman's World', which will drop on July 11.
With her first single in years soon coming out, it's expected her sixth album - rumored to be called KP6 - will follow suit.

A Reddit thread dedicated to all things Perry has suggested that the album may be released in August, but this is yet to be confirmed.
Now, with Perry’s album on the horizon, who she’s collaborated with is being discussed - and it’s reported that she’s teamed up with Dr Luke again.
Dr Luke - real name Łukasz Sebastian Gottwald - worked with Perry on some of her biggest songs, including ‘Teenage Dream’, ‘Dark Horse’, and ‘Roar’.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, a Capital Records insider told the publication: "Katy knew exactly the album she wanted to make and put together the team to make it happen.
"And that includes previous collaborators including Luke, Stargate, Max Martin, and Sarah Hudson, and some new heavy hitters such as Vaughn Oliver, Rocco Valdes, and Theron Thomas."
With the news of her apparently working with Dr Luke again, Kesha seems to have something to say about it.
Kesha and Dr Luke have previously worked together, but the 'TiK ToK' singer accused the producer of 'sexual, physical, and emotional abuse' in 2014.
He went on to countersue and accused Kesha of defamation, as well as always denying the allegations.
Now, as Dr Luke has been revealed as one of Perry's album collaborators, as well as being credited on her soon-to-be released song 'Woman's World', Kesha took to X to seemingly share her thoughts.
Shortly after the news broke, Kesha simply wrote 'lol'.
One person replied to the post: "Is this Katy shade?" as another wrote: "She’s shading Katy."
"She's laughing at Katy and her new song," suggested a different social media user.
Ultimately, after almost a decade of back-and-forth, the pair settled the defamation suit last year.
A court ruled that Dr Luke was a public figure and therefore had to prove malicious intent regarding the claims Kesha made about him - but he couldn't.
The terms of the settlement weren't clear at the time, but both parties released statements afterwards sharing that they were wanting to move on from the ordeal.
UNILAD has contacted reps for Perry, Kesha and Dr Luke for comment.
