Singer tells fan Jenelle Evans 'you go grrrl!'
After a fan skipped jail in order to attend Ke$ha's concert, the 'Die Young' singer has told her, 'you go grrrl!'
Jenelle Evans, who appears on the MTV show Teen Mom 2, decided to attend a Ke$ha concert instead of serving time in jail to reduce her probation time. Evans' lawyer, Dustin Sullivan, had talked to Evans' probation officer to bargain for Evans to spend 16 days behind bars in return for her yearlong probation being ended.
However, the jail sentence was due to start on 8 August - and Evans had second-row concert tickets to see Ke$ha on 9 August, leading her to refuse the deal, despite her lawyer telling her it was the worst decision she could make.
Now Ke$ha has spoken about her fan's decision, saying that Evans is the reason she makes music.
In an interview with The Huffington Post, they asked her, "Have you seen this episode of "Teen Mom," where a woman who's due in jail begs her lawyer to keep her out until she can attend one of your shows? What's your reaction to that?"
The 'Warrior' singer replied, "She is the reason I do what I do. Go grrrl don't let the man hold you down! We R Who We R!!!!"

Ke$ha also spoke about being 'scummy', saying that she likes her trashy image and hasn't changed despite her fame.
She told Indepedent.ie, "I still love having really terrible house parties.
"I still don't live my life with my happiness being dependent on name brands or how much things cost or some sort of VIP club... I still love being kind of scummy, to be honest."
