Who called Kesha Ketchup??!
From People:
Kesha is addressing some of the mispronunciations of her famous moniker — and how to say it correctly.
The “Praying” singer, 34, posted a short TikTok video in which the star clarified how to pronounce her name to her over 1.7 million followers on the social media platform.
The TikTok starts off with a girl saying, “Tell me what your name is, and then tell me what people mispronounce it as,” to which Kesha, who was born Kesha Rose Sebert, then appears and addresses her own name’s correct pronunciation.
“My name is Kesha. Keh-shuh. Not Keisha. Not Ketchup. Kesha,” the Grammy nominee says in the clip.
Also on Tuesday, Kesha’s mom, songwriter Pebe Sebert, shared more details about her daughter’s moniker, explaining the backstory behind it in a TikTok video of her own.
“So the name Kesha is actually a Hungarian family name that Lagan [her oldest son] would’ve been named if he had been a girl,” says Sebert in the video. “But since he wasn’t the name is actually pronounced Ke-tu-cha in Hungarian and I decided to make it easier and to make it Kesha. And that’s where Kesha came from.”
