Kesha reveals strange reason why she keeps jars of human teeth around her home and how they affect visitors
Joshua N.
Kesha has opened up about why she chooses to display teeth around her house, in what sounds like a twisted joke.
You may best know Kesha for songs such as 'TiK ToK' and 'Timber', but did you know the artist collects human teeth?
Probably not, but the pop star has claimed that jars of the stuff are placed around her home, with the admission coming after she admitted that she's "mostly" celibate.
It feels like these two facts go hand in hand, because there isn't a repellent quite like jars of human teeth lying around - fair play to her.
There is an explanation to the madness though, with the singer taking to the Las Culturistas podcast on Wednesday (July 15), opening up to co-hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers about her unusual hobby.
Kesha explains interest in teeth
The 39-year-old said on the podcast that she started to collect teeth after she "became obsessed with [her] fans."
It's a bit of an odd one, but Kesha went on: "Someone was like, 'My child lost their teeth,' and I was like, 'Can I have them?' I made a necklace, an earring and then a belt and then a crown. The crown's wild."
Some might understand why you'd try doing this once, but why has she kept it up after all these years?
She joked: "Then I just started collecting them because it kind of freaks out straight men. I put them by the door... I collect human teeth.
"I just started putting them all over my home... In little jars."
Nothing says get out like jars of human teeth, I guess.
While it felt like she may have been joking, it wasn't entirely clear, though she did ask about what parents do with teeth after taking their kids' as "the tooth fairy."
Sorry to burst that bubble.
"And where are they? Do you flush them down the toilet? Where are they going?" she asked
The hosts asked something similar but Kesha couldn't resist, jokingly suggesting: "Give them to me...
"Can I actually have your teeth, please? It's not a drill, not a joke. I am a pop star and I need your teeth."
Kesha's fans react
Unsurprisingly, her biggest supporters haven't been caught off guard by her admission, as one claimed: "'I’m a pop star, give me your teeth’ is the most Kesha sentence ever uttered and I’m obsessed. Next album drop: Teeth Collector featuring a featuring a scream sample from her dentist."
Another added: "Kesha collecting teeth is peak pop star energy. merch idea: Teeth Collector vinyl with a mystery molar in each pre-order box. would she prefer wisdom teeth or baby teeth tho, asking for a friend."
A third simply asked: "Are we surprised though?"
A different user questioned how honest she was being on the podcast, writing: "Wait, Kesha collecting teeth for fun is actually real? lmao If any other pop star asked for my teeth, I'd be terrified, but since it's Kesha, it somehow makes perfect sense."
"That's so funny and weird at the same time! Kesha really said give me your teeth like it's normal," another excitable fan said.
