Kesha has sparked outrage following her 'vulgar' performance as she headlined the second night of pop festival Mighty Hoopla in London on Sunday.
While singing new track Boy Crazy the American singer, 38, took to her hands and knees and suggestively chomped on a banana which a male dancer held between his legs.
The songstress was clad in a red latex catsuit and knee high boots as she seemingly mimicked oral sex for the audience.
A clip of the X-rated display was shared to Instagram with fans rushing to the comments and branded Kesha 'desperate for attention'.
They fumed: 'That's vulgar': 'Ohh she's desperate for attention': 'This is so cringe': 'This is what happens when you become irrelevant': 'Music is support to be art not porn!! What the heck!!'.

Earlier in the evening Pixie Lott, 34, has announced that she is pregnant live on stage as she told fans she and husband Oliver Cheshire are expecting their second child.
The married couple are already the proud parents of son Albert, who they welcomed in October 2023.
While belting out her hits for the crowd of excited fans, Pixie happily declared: 'I'm having another baby!'
She put on a very leggy display in a bright red blazer and a matching tie, while leaving her toned legs on full display.
And after revealing her pregnancy, the stunning star cradled her blossoming bump and she flashed a radiant smile for the cheering crowd.
Her very public announcement comes in contrast to her first pregnancy, which she kept a secret until she was 31 weeks along.
The pop star took to Instagram to break the joyous news in June 2023, showing off her blossoming bump in a black sports bra and leggings, while Oliver planted a kiss on her stomach.
The overjoyed couple also flashed a huge smile as they held up a snap of the ultrasound for the camera and admitted they were counting down the days until they would meet their little one.
Pixie wrote: 'We are beyond excited to announce we are expecting our first child together and cannot wait to start a family of our own.'
She gave birth to a baby boy in September, later revealing his full name and adorable nickname, Bertie.
She wrote: 'Albert Charles Cheshire. It has already been the most amazing time of our lives with you little Bertie and we feel so incredibly lucky you chose us to be your m and d xx.'
While the hitmaker has previously revealed her desire to have a 'big family', telling The Sun in 2021: 'I'm a big family girl, a very big family girl.
'It is everything to me so I would love to have my own when I can find the time. It's such an amazing thing to have.'
Pixie and Oliver met for the first time at a Select Model catwalk show back in 2010 and quickly struck up a romance.
The model then popped the question in November 2016 on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral in London.
The couple finally tied the knot in June 2022 at Ely Cathedral after they were forced to cancel their wedding several times due to the Covid pandemic.
Explaining their decision to postpone their nuptials rather than push ahead, Pixie previously said: 'I didn't want to do it when there were restrictions and we couldn't invite everyone we wanted to because of the rules.
'I wanted to wait until we could have the big party - our wedding will be a big party.'
Pixie previously gushed about her relationship with Oliver as she revealed the elements that made their romance work.
'I think every relationship is different and there are no real rules,' she told The Sun.
'Some of my friends have dated loads of people and others are still with the first person they started going out with, a bit like me. If it feels right, you just go with it.'
And, despite their hectic schedules - which often see them working thousands of miles apart - the couple have learned the true value in trusting one another.
She added: 'Either I'm away or he's away, and those times are hard. But we're used to it because it's been like that since the beginning.
'We have complete trust, and I think if we didn't have that, it would be much more difficult than it is. I'd like to think we were heading that way [towards marriage], definitely.'
Pixie rose to fame at 18-years-old when her debut single Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh) went to number one in 2009.

Media giant Canal+ strikes settlement with French tax authorities
Shares in Canal+ rose on Friday after the London-listed media conglomerate settled a tax dispute with the French Government. The StudioCanal owner, which listed in London last December, told investors it expects no impact on cash from the settlement. French authorities had accused the Paris-based company, formerly a subsidiary of telecoms giant Vivendi, of incorrectly applying lower rates of value-added tax on some of its services. Canal+ had warned that the dispute could have potentially cost it around €655million. It anticipates recording some exceptional charges in its first-half results, but told investors the settlement 'removes uncertainty regarding the possibility of a material additional disbursement'. Alongside this, the firm upheld its full-year outlook on turnover and earnings before nasties, with the latter expected to total approximately €515million. It came as Canal+ said it was on track to achieve organic growth this year because of a 'material one-off cash improvement'. But the business cautioned that this would be offset by the end of some contracts and the closure of terrestrial television channel C8 in February. The group's distribution deal with Disney+ ended at the start of 2025, resulting in its roughly 27 million subscribers losing access to the streaming service. In late February, C8 shut down after regulators revoked its broadcasting licence following accusations of promoting fake news and conspiracy theories. Consequently, its first-quarter turnover fell by 2.5 per cent to €1.55billion, although organic sales increased by 1.5 per cent, thanks to a robust performance by its film studios division. StudioCanal's recent box office successes include the animated sequel Paddington In Peru, horror film The Monkey, romantic drama We Live in Time, and comedy Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. In a rare victory for the UK capital, Canal+ went public on the London Stock Exchange last year after Vivendi shareholders voted to spin off the group. It debuted with an estimated £2.5billion valuation, making it the LSE's largest flotation in two years. Just 45 businesses applied to join the main London market in 2024, compared to 59 the year before and 111 in 2022, according to the Financial Conduct Authority. By comparison, 88 companies delisted or transferred their primary listing from the LSE, the largest number since the global financial crisis in 2008, figures from EY have shown. Canal+ shares rose 7.1 per cent to 215p on Friday morning, although this is far below its initial public offering price of 290p.

Bleary-eyed Dan Osborne stumbles out of hotel after-party with Christine McGuinness while Jac Jossa was in I'm A Celeb
BLEARY-EYED Dan Osborne was seen stumbling out of a hotel after-party with Christine McGuinness while his wife Jac Jossa was in the I'm A Celeb jungle. The 2019 images have resurfaced after The Sun revealed reality stars Dan, 33, and Christine, 37, comforted one another amid their marital woes. 8 8 The pair sent flirty texts and model Christine said Dan had joined her for raucous nights out that helped lift her spirits after her split from radio and TV host husband Paddy. The former Towie star was enjoying a night off parenting duties at London's Butterfly Ball, mingling with fellow TV personalities - including Christine - while Jacqueline was Down Under. Arriving on the red carpet, the father-of-three looked sharp in a black suit paired with a skinny tie. As the night progressed, Dan appeared more relaxed, having undone a few buttons and removed his tie. It seemed the influencer, who had been dismissed from Towie in 2015 following threats made to his ex-girlfriend, was enjoying himself at the event. Later in the evening, a dishevelled Dan was spotted laughing and smiling as his friends propped him up and helped him walk on the pavement. The bash also saw Dan mingle with other reality TV personalities, including Christine, Amy Childs, Imogen Thomas and Holly Hagan. Inside, he was pictured enjoying a private chat with Chrstine - who, at one point, bursted into laughter at something he'd said. At the time, reality star Dan was still building bridges with his actress wife over previous cheating claims. EastEnders star Jacqueline and Christine are both represented by the InterTalent agency. Jaqueline Jossa & Dan Osborne spotted spending secret night together at his home as they battle to save 8-year marriage Dan is adamant nothing happened romantically between the pair, even suggesting that the text messages between them were 'deep fakes or AI' when asked. Earlier this year, The Sun revealed Dan had moved out of his and Jacqueline's home and into a property he had bought behind his wife's back. Both temporarily removed their wedding rings. It was the second time they had parted ways over the past few years. Although it was claimed mum-of-two Jacqueline was furious, she later insisted the property purchase was for investment purposes only. Christine, married to Paddy for 11 years — and who has won an award for her documentary about her autism struggles — recently pulled out of Channel 4 show, Celebs Go Dating. In recent weeks, she has revealed she dated both men and women since she was a teenager. Another friend added: 'Christine is in a great place. 'She and Paddy are getting on well, everything is amicable, and she's super-excited about the future. "Life is good. 'Her friendship with Dan seems a lifetime ago. 'They don't really speak now.' 'Positive vibes' Christine and Dan have been involved in charity football matches with Sellebrity Soccer together, including in February 2023. She also managed Dan and other celebs in a game in February last year, in which he captained the team and scored in a 6-4 win on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent. Proudly celebrating their victory, Christine wrote on online: 'It was my positive vibes I was sending. 'My men never let me down, we only do winning.' Dan has previously been hit by claims of cheating. But a pal insisted this behaviour was all 'very much in the past'. Just months after fan favourite Jacqueline was crowned Queen of the I'm A Celeb Jungle, Dan admitted to infidelity. He told The Sun he 'takes full responsibility for being crap'. He said: 'I've made mistakes. 'I've done things I shouldn't have done. 'Me and Jac have spoken about that and she has forgiven me. 'I know in the past I've denied things when they're not true, then when something has been true, I probably just kept my mouth shut. 'I was a different person.' 8 8 8 8 8 8
