  • While on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Kesha told the host she was an extra in 2006’s Dreamgirls, which starred Hudson as well as Beyoncé, Eddie Murphy and Jamie Foxx

  • Hudson played Dreamgirl singer Effie White in the film, which is loosely based on The Supremes

  • The pop singer admitted she was paid $120 for the gig

Kesha has a pretty impressive feature film on her resume.

In a new interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the Grammy-nominated pop star revealed to host Jennifer Hudson they technically starred in a film together — 2006’s Dreamgirls.

The 38-year-old “Joyride” singer told Hudson, 43, that she happened to be an extra for the film, which also stars Beyoncé, Anika Noni Rose, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx and Danny Glover.

“What, really?” the Respect star said in amazement, to which Kesha responded that she was paid $120 to be an extra on set for 16 hours.

“Ya’ll were amazing,” Kesha told the host who played Dreamgirl singer Effie White, a role that was inspired by Supremes member Florence Ballard.

“I sat there with my hair teased to the gods,” Kesha said, adding that she wasn’t a fan of the 1960s-era look. “No offense, I hated it,” she added.

While more feature films may or may not be in the cards for Kesha, the singer recently announced her new single “Yippee-Ki-Yay” with T-Pain, out March 27. The song comes after her recent singles “Joyride” and “Delusional,” while the forthcoming full-length body of work will be her first since 2023’s critically acclaimed Gag Order.

After being signed to a major label for over a decade, along with a lengthy legal battle that has since been settled, Kesha is now an independent artist and the CEO of Kesha Records, which runs in partnership with Crush Music and ADA.

The singer recently spoke with PEOPLE about her upcoming sixth album and how it feels to be at the helm of her creative projects.

“God, it feels f—ing incredible. I’m so fiercely protective of my freedom now,” Kesha said. “For a long time, I was convinced it must have been everybody else around me, which is why I was successful, and the past year has proven that it f—ing has not been.”

“I have been taking the power back into my own hands with my team. It’s f—ing amazing, really empowering, and I’m really inspired to help empower other artists too, because artists hold the power. We have the magic,” she added.
