[BUtterfield 8 41,277]

Amigo Records is owned by Dr. Luke

[Guest]

Kim's the first trans artist to be signed to a major record label, right? I'm not familiar enough.

She's signed to Amigo Records, a subdivision of Republic, owned by Luke.

She's so messy. She either doesn't believe the allegations or she doesn't care yet still works with Luke. I dunno what's worse. Ignorance is bliss I guess? Same goes for Doja Cat.

Doja Cat was put into her contract with Luke when she was 16, I believe a year or two before Kesha came forward about him assaulting her.

Doja is still on that contract to this day. We don't know how many albums she was signed for.

Kim began working with Luke in 2015, a year after the Kesha allegations. She was never signed to him or contracted; she had her own label, Bunheads, since then.

She called Kesha a liar and then for damage control later said that "her experience isn't mine" and continued working with Luke for 5 more years (2017-now).

Now, she is officially signed to him.

Receipts that she was never signed or contracted to him from now-deleted Aaron Joseph tweets:

Doja signed before the allegations, she’s in the contract til it’s over. She even said she doesn’t support dr luke

Unless they both can somehow afford magical lawyers that can get them out of contracts, then I don’t think it’s that easy. Yes, it’s black and white to us because we are basing it on our own moral judgement. But unfortunately the business of it all makes it impossible for people to decide freely who to work with. Pretty sure it’s been explained that they can either refuse to work (all together) or they have to work (in some capacity) with him. I personally cannot put his actions on two relatively new female artists, one that is BIPOC and the other being a large visible part of the trans community. What I can do is support Kesha with any project she decides to release.

He co-writes and produces virtually everything Kim has released. He’s had quite a bit to say about her relationship with Luke, actually
