(Radio.com) Kesha has released a response via social media to being banned from performing at this year's Billboard Music Awards after Dr. Luke's record label pulled her from show.

"I was very excited to perform a tribute to Bob Dylan by singing a cover of 'It Ain't me, Babe' at the Billboard awards this year," Kesha wrote on Instagram. "I'm very sad and sorry to say I won't be allowed to do this."

She added that her performance was strictly designed to honor one of her "favorite songwriters of all time," and she had no intention of mentioning Dr. Luke, with whom she is in a legal battle over allegations that he raped and abused her when she was younger.

"I was never going to use a picture of him, speak of him or allude to my legal situation in any way. I simply wanted to sing a song I love to honor an artist I have always looked up to. thank u all for the continued support." Read more here.
