Katy Perry has finally addressed reuniting with Dr. Luke.
The matter has served as somewhat of a dark cloud of debate hovering over the Pop star’s forthcoming album ‘143’ (due September 20).
Why, one may wonder?
Well, the hitmaker is seen by some as a controversially divisive figure following his legal spar with former protegée Kesha; a spar in which the ‘Tik Tok’ singer accused the producer of sexual assault and more. He countersued her for defamation.
As reported, the years-long legal wrangle concluded last year, with both parties effectively dropping their respective cases.
Still, some corners of public opinion haven’t been favorable towards Luke and, in reuniting with him (after a break that interestingly mirrors much of the the legal case), Perry is catching flack.
After a measured silence, she is now turning the volume up on reuniting with Luke (who helmed some of her biggest hits, including ‘Roar,’ ‘California Gurls,’ and ‘Dark Horse’).
Full story below…
Quizzed directly about Dr. Luke on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Perry offered up the following response:
“Look, I understand that it started a lot of conversations. He was one of many collaborators that I collaborated with. But the reality is that it comes from me. The truth is I wrote these songs from my experience of my whole life going through this metamorphosis. And he was one of the people to help facilitate all of that. One of the writers, one of the producers. And I am speaking from my own experience.”

Yikes. As if any other person couldn’t “facilitate” her vision for her. The fact that she can’t see why this bother people is beyond me. Some people obvs don’t care or for some reason turn a forget (Say So is an example of how general population didn’t mind). I was hoping she’d say it was contractual obligations or something. But she’s supposed to be a “seasoned” veteran. She could have worked with anyone. She should really have worked with Calvin Harris again. The song she did with Big Sean, way better than any of her this roll out. Katy needs help
Yeah if this was her choice of statement then she could’ve just been quiet
I feel her! This group think thing is nuts. Basically his personal life has nothing to do with her just give up them beats.
He r**** someone. Please stop the bs. It’s not like he robbed someone at gunpoint and repented. He R**** somebody.
We don’t care if she is working with Dr.Luke or even R.Kelly, Bill Cosby… but honestly her new music sucks ass
So its NOT ok for Katy yet Doja’s first ever #1 Say So was done by Dr Luke and everyone turned a blind eye smh. Woman’s World wasn’t my cup of tea either but cancelling her and blaming its failure on that is just brutal.
It’s cause Tyson Trax produced Say So 😂 he should have kept the codename
lol yeah but if Dr Luke used some other random name, Woman’s World was still SO bad. I’m glad she’s already reached a level of success like her superbowl was pretty good for 2015. Not amazing but she had hits after hits. shes lucky, it was literally right on the cusp //// just before the whole alleged thing with Kesha and dr luke went public. moving forward, katy needs to find something else to do. no more american idol. just pivot to something else. OR go country, she should really have gone country with this album. just rip off kacey musgraves. Shudda wudddaa cudaaaa . Katy’s team sucks SHE HAD ONE ASSIGNMENT literally KATY FFFSSSS
She practiced the f*** out of that answer and it still was a flop
