Sony Music will be ending it's working relationship with Kesha's music producer Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald one year ahead of his contract’s expiration, reports TheWrap. 

A Sony insider told the publication, “The fact that this hasn’t already been taken care of is confusing, especially for people in the building."

Insiders say that Dr. Luke's ties to the record label have been a headache for Sony ever since Kesha’s sexual abuse allegations in 2014. After a New York judge ruled that Kesha could not sever ties with the music company, a number of huge names backed the "Tik Tok" singer. Taylor Swift, Adele, Lady Gaga and Kelly Clarkson have had a call to arms to #FreeKesha.

Despite the New York State Supreme Court siding with Sony, citing a lack of evidence to support the abuse claims, the people have sided with Kesha. The Internet has caught fire with cries for Luke's head. Insiders say that Sony does not believe that keeping Dr. Luke is worth the hassle.

A Sony Music spokesperson would not comment on story and Dr. Luke's reps did not return TheWrap’s requests for comment.
