Sony Reportedly to Drop Dr. Luke Amid #FreeKesha Movement

Sony Music officials will allegedly drop producer Dr. Luke amid the #FreeKesha movement for pop star Kesha, the New York Daily News reports.

Sources told The Wrap that the record label will nix the mega producer a year before his contract is up, citing "knowledgeable individuals."

"The fact that this hasn't already been taken care of is confusing, especially for people in the building," a source told the site.

Last month Kesha was denied in court a request to be released from her contract with Sony and Dr. Luke, whom she says drugged, sexually abused and psychologically tormented her. Dr. Luke denies all.

Amid her court battles, several fans have shown their support for the "TiK ToK" singer, promoting the #FreeKesha movement. A number of pop stars, like Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Adele and more have all shown their support.

According to the source, the support for the embattled pop star has forced Sony's hand into dropping Dr. Luke.

"There is no contest. Kesha has no case in regards to her contract but they can't afford the Adeles of the world out in the streets calling the label unsupportive," a source told the Wrap.

The NYDN points out Sony has Dr. Luke in a five-year contract, which is extended through early 2017. The newspaper writes it is unclear how the company's execs will handle the producer's exit.

"Somebody has been convicted via Twitter," a second source said. "No court has convicted this person, so there may not be any legal basis to terminate an agreement. It would have to be mutual."
