| ==Controversy== | |||
| ===Kesha=== | |||
| Following the poor chartings of ]'s singles, "]" and "]", which failed to chart on the ] top 20, Dr. Luke received most of the blame. In September 2013, Rebecca Pimmel, a fan of Kesha, set up a petition to "free" Kesha from Dr. Luke's management and accused Luke of "stunting" Kesha's creative growth as an artist.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.idolator.com/7485711/kesha-fan-petition-free-dr-luke|title=Ke$ha’s Concerned Fans Have Started A Petition To Free Her From Dr. Luke|date=September 23, 2013}}</ref> The petition currently has over 5,000 signatures. Suspicion first aroused after the controversy involved with her single, "Die Young", which was axed from several radio stations following the ] in December 2012. Kesha claimed she was "forced" to sing Die Young, presumably by Luke, which hinted to the control of her creativity. It was revealed in her TV series documentary, ''My Crazy Beautiful Life'', in which Luke serves as an executive producer, that she had little creative control of her sophomore album, ''Warrior''. It was also revealed on the show that "Machine Gun Love", a song revealed to be one of Kesha's favourite songs she had ever written, was not included on the album against her wishes. Kesha had written over 70 songs, some with her mother, that were intended for the album but Dr. Luke scrapped many of them. As a result, Kesha and her mother wrote a 'diss track' directed at Dr. Luke, titled "Dancing With The Devil," which leaked onto the internet in April 2013. The song describes Kesha's naivety of signing a record deal with Dr. Luke and how she has no control over her career and there's nothing she can do about it. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://vigilantcitizen.com/latestnews/kehas-unreleased-song-dancing-with-the-devil-sums-up-the-music-industry/|title=Ke$ha’s Unreleased Song “Dancing With the Devil” Sums Up the Music Industry|source="The Vigilant Citizen"|date=2013-11-04}}</ref><ref>http://arcadey.net/2013/09/kehas-director-tweets-photo-fans-revolting-dr-luke/</ref> The co-director of ''My Crazy Beautiful Life'', Steven Greenstreet, tweeted a picture in November of front row fans at one of Kesha's concerts carrying banners labelled, "F**k Dr. Luke." Kesha's mother, Pebe, agrees with the movement, and when asked on Twitter who was responsible for Kesha's stunt in creativity, she replied "Dr. Luke." In addition, when asked whether Kesha had been dropped from RCA, she replied "hope so." These tweets were later deleted.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://popdust.com/2013/10/29/kehas-mom-calls-out-dr-luke-on-twitter-says-hes-not-giving-keha-creative-freedom/|title=Ke$ha’s Mom Calls Out Dr. Luke On Twitter, Says He’s Not Giving Ke$ha Creative Freedom|publisher=Popdust}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.idolator.com/7491202/kesha-mom-pebe-dr-luke-twitter-beef|title=Ke$ha’s Mom Shades Dr. Luke On Twitter, Demands Creative Freedom For Her Daughter|publisher=Idolator}}</ref> In 2013, The ] announced that they hoped to release a full-length collaborative album with Kesha, called '']''.<ref name=lipsha>{{cite web|last=McGovern|first=Kyle|title=Wayne Coyne Confirms New Flaming Lips Album With Ke$ha|url=http://www.spin.com/articles/flaming-lips-kesha-album-reddit-ama#bmb=1|work=]|publisher=]|accessdate=4 April 2013|date=3 April 2013}}</ref> This was cancelled in November 2013 undoubtedly as a result of the controversy. ] spent time re-tweeting disappointed fans including some who accused Dr. Luke of the cancellation.
