A State Supreme Court in New York City refused to release her from a Sony contract, which means she must continue to work for the same company as Dr Luke.
The judge, Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich, told Kesha that Sony would suffer 'irreparable harm' if she did not abide by her contract to make six more albums with them.
According to TMZ, the judge said she could always work with another producer at the label.
However, Kesha alleged that Sony will not promote her music if she refuses to work with Dr Luke.
Before Kesha attempted to get out of her contracts with Dr Luke via legal methods, her mom Pebe Sebert filed a federal lawsuit against the producer.

Sebert claimed Dr Luke had tormented and abused her daughter. She also claimed he raped Kesha, which caused her to suffer emotional distress and PTSD.
On top of those claims, Sebert said she was told she was allowed to write songs for her daughter’s album, which Dr Luke claims she was and dismissed the allegation saying Sebert is a co-writer on 11 of Kesha’s songs.
Dr Luke claims he never raped Kesha and the mother and daughter have concocted the story to get the singer out of her contract.

He also alleges that given the time line Kesha and Sebert claim the sexual assaults happened, Sebert would not have been present to corroborate the story.
The producer said on top of that, that the amount of time that had passed from the alleged incident to the time Kesha and Sebert sued him caused their legal action to be null due to the statute of limitations.
Dr Luke filed the upcoming deposition with Kesha on April 15 to ensure all of her answers are given under oath.
