In an Instagram post, Kesha wrote that she wanted to cover Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me, Babe" at the show and said, contrary to earlier reports, her performance would not be related to her ongoing legal battles with Dr. Luke based on allegations that the producer raped her.

"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. "I'm very sad and sorry to say I won't be allowed to do this. I just wanted to make very clear that this performance was about me honoring one of my favorite songwriters of all time and has never had anything at all to do with Dr. Luke. 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."
