The Tik Tok singer's deal with the former producer's label Kemosabe - which is distributed by RCA Records - officially ended last week seven months after Kesha released her last contractual album, Gag Order, a source told Variety on Monday. Kesha, 36, had been locked in a legal battle with the label founder, real name Lukasz Gottwald, for almost 10 years. The pop star seemingly confirmed the news on her Instagram Story by thanking her fans, known as animals, for having her back. "Thanks for holding me like a drunk best friend through the last 10 years animals.”
