Kesha certainly knows how to make a fashion statement! In her recent appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, the singer revealed to host Alex Cooper that her favorite sculptural gold necklace carries a rather unique element—part of her own placenta.
With a playful tone, Kesha quipped about her distinctive piece of jewelry, saying, “Throw it in the blender, pop it in a necklace. Work!” as she flaunted the unusual accessory.
She elaborated on the significance behind it, mentioning, “Your placenta supposedly grants you second sight and helps open your third eye,” attributing this belief to her mother.
Kesha recounted the unusual journey of her placenta, sharing, “My mom put it in the oven and then stored it in a box. She rediscovered it in the basement when I was around 21 years old.”
“This is according to my mother. So she stuck it in the oven. She put it in a box, and she found it when I was like 21 years old in the basement.”
As for why she chooses to carry a literal piece of herself around every day?
“I love a good ritual. Right? Like, I’m a cult leader,” Kesha quipped. “And I just … I love a ritual that reminds me of this, like, esoteric world I prefer to live in. Like down here on Earth, boring. But like, when I go up into, like, with my spirit guides and the whole realm of angels … that’s where I prefer to be. It’s kind of fun.”
Kesha noted that doctors at the hospital where she was born tried to throw away her placenta, saying of her mom, “She fought for that, so now I carry it around.”
At one point during the interview, the 39-year-old “Die Young” singer misplaced the pendant in the chair she was sitting in.
“I lost my placenta on your couch,” she joked.
“Oh my God. Where is your placenta?” Cooper asked, concerned. “You were holding it. Maybe it went down into the crevices?”
Luckily, the musician quickly found the precious piece, and told Cooper she also collects teeth to make art and jewelry.
“It just reminds me when I have a little piece of the people I love,” she explained.
“I’ve been collecting them for a while now… My cats had to get their little teeth taken out, their little kitty wisdom teeth. I collect those too. I’m like the tooth fairy.”
Kesha isn’t the first celeb to turn a birth-related organ into jewelry.
Cardi B worked with Mommy Made Encapsulation to transform her umbilical cord into a heart-shaped pendant after welcoming her fourth child last year.
While the company charges $500 for its Placenta Encapsulation Service — which converts the temporary organ into pills for the mother to ingest — the gold chrome-dipped charm only costs an additional $50.
