You just found this out now?
Ke$ha saying she had no money 
Dr. Luke has been priming her for a long time.

She has been talking about appearing in videos but she never got paid much, it was just to cover her expenses. She also mentioned being in...a Britney video, I can't remember which.
You can call Kesha a lot of things, but I strongly doubt she's a liar.

They're all liars, so it's not a jab at Ke$ha specifically. I say this about Lady Gaga too, and her fans get pissed at me.
Her mom is a big ass song writer, she's appeared on reality TV shows, she's been in huge music videos, etc. etc.
This isn't SYG so I won't go too far into it, but broke girls who can't buy tacos don't suddenly pop out an album produced by THE hottest, most expensive, most in-demand music producer.

I'm not saying she completely came out of nowhere, she said she has spent a long time on building up connections with people and trying to get a chance.
Also I looked it up, she wasn't in a Britney vid, she sang background vocals for Lace And Leather, my bad sorry

She said when Right Round came out, she was broke. But that was the same time she'd started working on Animal. Broke girls w/o major connection$$$$ don't have access to Dr. Luke.
They all say things, it's best to ignore it, because it never tracks.

Selected quotes from the Billboard cover story:
Quote:
|
Sebert often brought Ke$ha to the studio and encouraged her to sing and write songs. Ke$ha had been recording demos for a couple of years, when one wound up in the hands of Samantha Cox, senior director of writer/publisher relations at BMI. Cox had done some work with Sebert, and it was Cox who passed along Ke$ha's demos to a friend at BMI, who ultimately passed them to the manager of then-rising producer Lukasz Gottwald, better-known as Dr. Luke.
|
Quote:
Luke solicited more than 100 demos from friends and contacts. Included was one from a then-relatively unknown singer Katy Perry (Luke and Martin wrote and produced the Perry hits "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot N Cold") and another from Ke$ha.
At Conway Studio where Luke works in Hollywood, he plays me two songs from the Ke$ha demo, each striking for different reasons. The first is a gorgeously sung, self-penned country ballad that hints at what could've been had Ke$ha pursued a different path. The other is a gobsmackingly awful trip-hop track. But at one point toward the end, Ke$ha runs out of lyrics and starts rapping, for a full minute or so: "I'm a white girl/From the 'Ville/Nashville, bitch. Uhh. Uhhhhh."
Luke and his producer friends were smitten by this bit of screwball-gangsta improv. His face lights up even now as he remembers. "That's when I was like, 'OK, I like this girl's personality. When you're listening to 100 CDs, that kind of bravado and chutzpah stand out."
|
Quote:
At the end of 2008, Luke was working on a track with Flo Rida called "Right Round" and the two decided they needed a female hook. Luke pulled Ke$ha into the studio and within two months, "Right Round" was an international No. 1 and set a single-week record for digital sales that still stands. Suddenly Ke$ha-though she wasn't credited on the U.S. version and didn't get paid-was a hot commodity. Atlantic, home to "Right Round," had some interest, as did Jason Flom's Lava label, now at Universal. But Luke and Ke$ha ultimately decided on RCA. Luke had done a lot of work with RCA/Jive Label Group chairman/CEO Barry Weiss, whom Ke$ha found to be "ridiculously smart and driven," and she connected with RCA A&R executive Rani Hancock. "Rani doesn't ever try to censor me," Ke$ha says. "And I like being surrounded by strong, intelligent women."
The rest of 2009 was spent recording "Animal."

You are free to not believe it, but it sounds plausible to me.

 You're so on target. I'm glad you acknowledged this in Lady GaGa too.

As far as I know, she was not paid at all for this video or being in "Right Round."
