Kesha recently addressed being called out for the Jeffrey Dehmer lyric in her song, Cannibal.
As fans will be aware, her 2010’s Cannibal became fan-favourite and made way for a dance trend in 2020.
However, when this song gained popularity again, the songstress got slammed for putting in a verse centered around the cannibalist, Jeffrey Dahmer.
The song’s second verse goes as “Be too sweet, and you’ll be a goner / I’ll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer.”
When people called out Kesha for this lyric, and her mom, Pebe Sebert, a cowriter on the song, defended her at the time.
However, she broke silence on the matter and addressed the backlash she faced in a new chat with PEOPLE Magazine, “It’s just an interesting time where that can happen now.”
“It’s a trippy thing to witness, and it’s so cool, and I love it,” she added of the song, which became popular enough to ignite a dance trend.
“I’m connecting to a whole different audience that wasn’t even alive when I wrote the songs,” she expressed and recalled, “Oh my God, I got re-canceled for the Jeffrey Dahmer lyric.”
She admitted, “It was a controversial lyric.”
She declared, “If some people aren’t offended by what I’m doing, I’m probably not doing a very good job of being a pop star,” and moved on to a new topic.
