In this work, a solitonic study of $ LP $-Kenmotsu $ n $-manifolds (in brief $ (LPK)_n $) was performed. Key properties of almost $ * $-RBSs are established, thus generalizing some of the known results. Additionally, we examine gradient almost $ * $-RBSs, thereby deriving conditions for the realization of the soliton structure. These results provide new insights into the theory of Ricci-Bourguignon solitons and geometric flows in semi-Riemannian manifolds. It is proven that an $ (LPK)_n $ that admits an almost $ * $-RBSs or a gradient almost $ * $-RBSs is a generalized $ \omega $-Einstein spacetime. Moreover, under certain assumptions, an $ (LPK)_n $ that admits an almost $ * $-RBSs or a gradient almost $ * $-RBSs is a perfect fluid spacetime.
