The story of ‘Blow’ beauty Ke$ha‘s latest hit ‘Die Young’ being yanked from radio has certainly been blown to new proportions over the last few days. As the story of its initial dismissal from radio (in response to the Sandy Hook tragedy) cooled, the singer reignited interest in it as she took to Twitter claiming she was “forced” to sing its negative lyrics.
Then, her mom also took to the same medium to corroborate her story. Despite a swift retraction, fans were later confused when videos surfaced of Ke$ha bragging about the song – one that sees her as the primary contributor to its lyrics.
Now, with hopes of leaving the incident in the past, the ‘Tik Tok’ trier took to her official website today to lift a letter clarifying what she meant when she used the word “forced”…
“After such a tragic event I was feeling a lot of emotion and sadness when I said I was forced to sing some of the lyrics to Die Young. Forced is not the right word. I did have some concerns about the phrase “die young” in the chorus when we were writing the lyrics especially because so many of my fans are young and that’s one reason why I wrote so many versions of this song. But the point of the song is the importance of living every day to the fullest and staying young at heart, and these are things I truly believe. “
B**** seriously need mental help.
Whatever, she’s really milking this Sandy Hook incident. When are you gonna do more promo for your future flop ‘C’mon’?
how is she milking it? the song was taken off the air and has been on radio since august. please know what youre talking about please..
omg now I feel like Kesha is overreacting…shes making this s*** bigger than what it is….kesha no ones blaming your song for the shooting stop with this pity party b.s.
actually people had questioned her and almost ridiculed her for the lyrics in the song.. know your facts
Yeah this song is total s*** anyway so regardless of what she says about it won’t change the total flop that it is – If anything this whole mess up will kill her album and shut this b**** up
B**** was working this angle from the beginning.
Tell me how forced she looked when she was banging the drum at the AMA’s? Tell me how forced she looked when she was working her hips at the Today Show?
I’m guessing she was trying to serve up some drama and get extra downloads in since she knew her radio and promo would be zilch.
Wow that man killed them kids and murdered her career aswel!
Could have left the kids outta this you moron
Moron? im sure you could do better then that fool lol!
Ain’t nobody got time for dat
Ke$ha, b****, wait a minute!
You don’t know what you’re talking about! You, your music and the video for that song is an abomination. Sit yo narrow ass down
She didn’t say that before the song was banned. I thought Ke$ha had some input in her mediocrity work, but now I know she’s just another Dr. Luke’s puppet like Katy Perry.
I don’t get the point. She shouldn’t have said that because she’s making it bigger than it should be.
Somehow she is trying to convice people that “Die Young” motivated the killer and that she was forced to sing it. What, b****? Are you crazy? No one thought that this horrible song had any connection with the murdering of those poor kids, so why is she saying that? Why is she acting like a victim? She is not! The kids are.
She’s just making herself a completly fool. Now everybody knows that she’s a joke and a label puppet.
Ke$ha still hasn’t addressed anything on that statement.
grrrl…
B**** , I’m confused ! and what about your mom’s illuminati’s crazyness , why you didn’t “CLARIFY” that one too since you are being honest ?
So she admits shes an industry puppet.
What an embarrassing flop!!!
But Her album outsold lotus tho & she had a top 10 hit honey only flop I see is that fat b**** in your avi….
Right a flop just like X-Tina ????? Well atleast the song was a top 10 hit her 8th top 10 hit and was closing in on 2x copies sold so the song wasn’t a flop and her album outsold X-Tina 1st week tally as well…….X-Tina fans should learn their place because that fat piggy is done
PUBLICITY STUNT!!! DUH. The b**** aint gonna get her song played on radio, so shes making the most of it, and her mums joining in too lol
Somebody at her label made her delete that “I was forced” tweet and issue this weak-ass “explanation” that she’s using to try to distance herself from the song. Not that it really matters since her career is basically over.
AD:

Its obvious her management are telling her to say this.
Girl, Stop! No one believes that your song is responsible for killing anything other than the current state of music.
Rest it.
Well regardless I like the song … don’t know how much longer Ke$ha’ll be around though.
