Ke$ha’s Career Is About To “Die Young” After BS Excuse

Ever wonder what the downside was to inhaling too much glitter?

Ask Ke$ha, who seriously just gave the lamest excuse in life to a somewhat serious issue that was tied to the heartbreaking Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting earlier this week that claimed the lives of young children and teachers.

Because of the very sensitive nature of the tragedy, there have been certain things media-wise that have been rearranged (although some will air at later dates).

One of those things happened to be her single “Die Young”, which was nearly completely removed from ALL radio station airplay following Friday’s events.

    “Die Young” clocked in at #3 on the radio playlists on Friday (the day of the shooting) … reaching 167 million listeners nationwide, this according to Mediabase, a company that tracks radio airplay.

    By Saturday, the day after the shooting … airplay dropped by 3 million listeners … a sign that stations were slowly pulling the song off the air.

    By Monday … “Die Young” took a huge hit on the radio … dropping down to 148 million listeners … a 19 million drop from what had been a pretty steady rotation before the shooting.

More after the jump.

Now obviously, no one wants to be rightfully connected to what has been such a monumental occurrence… but rather than express some kind of sympathy, Ke$ha is downright claiming that it wasn’t her choice to sing the lyrics in the song.

“”I had my very own issues with “die young” for this reason”, she expressed via her Twitter. “I did NOT want to sing those lyrics and I was FORCED TO.”

That’s right — she was outright forced to sing the lyrics to the track.

(The lyrics in question are found in the chorus, which says, “Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young/We’re gonna die young…”)

Would you like to know who wrote “Die Young”? Let’s go to Wikipedia, shall we?

    “Die Young” is a song by American recording artist Kesha. It was released on September 25, 2012 as the lead single from her second studio album, Warrior. The electropop song was written by Kesha, Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco, Cirkut, and fun. singer Nate Ruess.

Yep. She was forced to sing the lyrics to a song she, at least, co-wrote.

Well, since it’s so troublesome for her, I’m going to have to force myself to stop listening to her tracks. I mean, it’s only fair, right?

Looks like she’s taking the infamous LiLo route: blame the other guy.
