Hours before she was set to serve a Stadium set in Kuala Lumpur, ‘Backstabber’ beauty Ke$ha has seen a spanner thrown in her works, after Malaysian authorities pulled the plug on the show- citing the star’s music as their cause for doing so.
Want the full story?
Step into our office…
Much to their surprise, concert organisers Livescape revealed that it received a letter from Malaysia‘s Ministry of Communications and Multimedia, explaining that it had rejected Ke$ha’s application to perform in the country due to the unrest they believe she would cause to their religion and culture.
This, coming after the hit maker agreed to alter her show to suit Malaysian audiences and comply the government’s guidelines for performers hoping to deliver stage shows in the market. Alas, her efforts to appease them came to no avail and now joins Livescape in suffering a $350,000 loss because of the concert’s ban.
In response to the nation’s actions, Livescape have reportedly urged them to “engage in a productive dialogue” with all concert organisers as to avoid similar trouble in the future.

That’s not right this girl is just here tryin to entertain she obviously has fans out there. Some of these countries confuse TF outta me.
Katy Perry performed successfully in Malaysia for CDT.
Ke$ha with her Tik Tok influences may cause trouble…maybe.
Lol
Last time i checked, Rihanna allowed to perform in Malaysia, but her concert was canceled. That one just 3 days after Chris Brown beaten her.
At least she can blame Malaysia’s gov for this.
In other hand, she cant blame Australia’s gov when people there refuse to buy her tickets and the concerts got canceled.
LOL
Those Muslims don’t play. A lot of artists have had concerts banned in Malaysia, Indonesia and The Philipines because they’re music didn’t comply with the country’s religion
If there’s any religion I’m glad to not be apart of, it’s Muslim…
The Philippines?? Lie detected. Not when only 5% to 10% of the Philippines are Muslim, and about 80% are Christian.
Not when the Philippines for the most part, conducts itself like a secular state.
What complete ass hats. Good luck getting any big act to ever visit that third world s*** hole again, and I don’t even like Ke$ha.
Kesha is not a big act. LOL
Last time i checked, Mariah Carey, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Avicii, MJ, Maroon 5 etc. etc. allowed to perform in that country.
Umm.. Actually, Ke$ha is a big act. You might want to check her net worth and her receipts. She has done exceptionally well in her career.
350k damn!!!! Muslims are to uptight but they have so many kids yeah right yall love the D and the P so stfu
Poor dat
The Malaysian concertgoers might not understand it now, but the Gov’t did them a huge favor.
I think they deserve around of applause tbh
They should’ve cancelled it earlier so they wouldn’t p*** off those <10K people.
Other than that they were doing them a favor, saving those precious ears from such terrible music.
H** shut up. U think most artist’s music is terrible besides ur fave,ironically, biased b****.
Yas the h** thinks lana is something special but shes as basic as they come.
B**** it’s not my fault I don’t listen to mostly top 40/generic R&B like most of the bottoms on this website.
And not a Tamar stan calling anyone basic when it makes the most generic, forgettable Steve Harvey Morning Show filler music.
Just becuz it is top 40, doesn’t make it automatically terrible. If that was the case, u can include Lana cuz her music is mainstream now and so is SS.
lana is a f****** sellout anyways she had to change the song to EDM so she could finally get a hit… and b**** nothing more forgettable then lanas lame dull ass elevator music.
The SS remix was released in a few countries only and was already made over a year ago. It was her label who did that, Lana herself said she didn’t like the fact that that was played over the original.
Even then SS has sold over 600k WITHOUT the remix in the US and charted in over 20 countries last year, once again without the remix. Unlike Tamar who is both local and generic trash.
I didn’t say Lana wasn’t mainstream. I’m just saying she’s probably the most mainstream artist I listen to, unlike most of the commentors on this site who only lists to whatever Clear Channel feeds them.
Have a nice day.
they Do That To Everyone who’s “controversial”, They are really Conservative and Serious.
Look at you People from different Culture show your Ignorance.
last time i checked ,it is their country, they do the f*** they want!!! Why so much anger, opinions and feelings ? 😆
@SAM :
Do I see a pattern with your Blog Lately ?
Tissue for you issue sis??
you need a tissue to remove the s*** off your loose ass and mouth you filthy cow.
It sucks but you gotta look at who these countries are and how they operate. I always wonder why scandalous performers even waste their time because it always ends like this.
If you alter your performance then the costumes will become an issue.
If you altr your costume then then the lyrics become an issue.
If you alter your lyrics then something else becomes an issue.
Just say ‘I won’t be able to edit my concert to suit the requirements of the Ministry but I am so honored and I have the utmost respect for their requests’ then…keep it moving. Because it never works out after you’ve made all the changes.
Wow….glad I live in America. These Muslim rules r annoying AF. They also get scary to the point where u wonder if breathing in their country is sinful too….
I live in S.Africa,and we are even tolerant with controversial artists.
Ugh NOT these muslims at it AGAIN!!!!! These terrorists are the real scum of the earth. We don’t need muslims on earth, I wish they would all just vanish, the world would be a better place without a single muslim
And someone give that one muslim troll a tissue for his issue, he annoys the f*** outta me. Always trying to shove islam down our throats. What a loser
You’ll be banned soon enough…
So the entire Muslim race is the scum of the earth just cause of a couple of ignorants? And you have the nerve to call the hive uneducated.
this b**** is stupid,…that’s a prove Muslims against people with less morale like Ke$ha.
And maybe like you too.
Stupid b****.
Bingo!!!! 😀
i see you got it jen.
The terrible part in all of this is they didn’t inform Ke$ha in advance. The Malaysian govt is horrible, they should have told her weeks in advance and saved her from transport, food and room costs, now all of that is sunk.
I’m so glad I live in a tolerant place, I wouldn’t imagine having someone constantly trying to control my life, that wouldn’t be living for me. But hey, to each their own.
Yes, South Africa is a great country to live in. It has the best constitution on earth that respects everyone including f*** like you, that’s why you like it here

Im amazed this site has such a wide variety of users from all parts of the world i’d just assume you were from the states or UK.
I think you are from the slums of Brazil or somewhere in the Amazon rain forrest…
No boo im from Miami xo
your country is racist and you are the proof.
Atleast warn somebody in advance so they don’t waste their f****** time smh.
Agreed
Why they doing this to a flopping artist? Have they no any sympathy?
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
So not only is Fake Like T***** Flopga a hypocrite/troll, but it’s also an ignorant racist? No wonder it has to cling to TGJ to feel loved.
Your just as hateful and ignorant as him.
Now I know Rosie gets on all of our nerves,but at least she’s not a racist troll.
Ok, it’s clear that these classless popstars are not welcome in country that have standards of modesty and respect. We just need a whole new set of pop artists; Gaga can go, Rihanna’s hasn’t been hot since Loud other than her controversial life messes, Ke$ha’s been gone, Britney’s lost her touch, Katy releases the same sounding song just screaming in a different note.. I don’t know.. I’ve been quite disappointed with the US pop market for sometime now..
And whats sad is i think Rihanna had the most potential out of all of them in terms of music and just being a good overall pop star but ever since the talk that talk era she started to turn me off with the fake thug persona and all these stupid Twitter beefs she gets into plus she has become such a s*** performer these days she doesn’t take her craft serious.
And Gaga on the other hand had potential aswell but the gimmicks got the best of her she focused more on trying to shock people instead of making good music and now her music just gets worse with every album and she gets more desperate every era.
I would expect nothing less from a flop dictatorship country such as Malaysia.
Good Guy Malaysia‘s Ministry of Communications and Multimedia saving their country from Tra$ha’s awful vocals. Let’s be real here, they did a hell of a good favor.
@Sam
Tori Kelly’s Foreword – EP is in the top ten on iTunes.
