But people should stop calling him a rapist as if it's a fact. That's a serious accusation and you shouldn't joke about it.

People are saying he is a rapist because Kesha risked ending her career to get her allegations in the public eye. It is a serious accusation that she understands, that everyone who publicly supports her understands, and is therefore not immediately false.
The truth of the matter is that none of us will 100% know what went down between them because we are not them. However, given that an infinitesimal proportion of rape allegations are false and that Kesha had every opportunity to take her allegations back, and that so many female artists are willing to speak out in support of her, it isn't far-fetched that people will believe her.
So many of you have no idea about the inner workings of law and legal justice- in some respects it is not even possible for her to prove that this happened in a court of law because it happened almost a decade ago. The statute of limitations for sexual assault alone is enough to prevent her from taking legal action, although she has tried.
Proving sexual assault in a court of law is extraordinarily difficult when so much time has passed, and victims of sexual assault have an undue burden imposed upon them in seeking to do so. It isn't her fault for seeking justice years later because, as a victim of sexual assault, she didn't have the ability/strength/safety/finances to do so at the time.
It is obscene how so many of you dedicate your lives to female artists yet refuse to support them when they voice their experiences with sexual assault. This is ingrained misogyny.
Even now, understanding all of this, what she is seeking is to be released from her contract with/under him. He should let her go, and the fact that he isn't doing so speaks volumes about the kind of person he is.
5H themselves don't have 100% creative control, so it is possible that they don't know he ghost-produced it because, well, that's what ghost-producing is. Given his relationship with Ammo, it is not implausible that he worked out an arrangement with Ammo where he is compensated for his work without public accreditation.
My question is, what about Meghan Trainor's album? She worked with Lunchmoney Lewis and R. City - both Luke artists
