Pitbull reacts after Kesha’s name was removed from her song Timber as fans angrily demand: “Add it back!”
KESHA fans have taken Pitbull to task after the singer’s name was removed from the smash hit “Timber.”
In 2012, two of the biggest names in music came together to release the legendary country pop hit.

The song currently has over 1.5 billion views and streams on YouTube and Spotify.
Over the weekend, Kesha fans noticed that her name had been removed from the theme song displayed on YouTube.
However, Kesha’s name is still linked to Spotify and Apple Music.
Fans quickly flooded Pitbull’s social media with comments asking what happened.
“Removing Kesha’s name from the Timber music video is a disgrace. Pitbull’s team needs to fix this,” one wrote.
Another claimed: “She may have been on it, but people know this as a Kesha song rather than a Pitbull song.”
“Timber would be nothing without Kesha,” raged a third fan.
PITBULL SPEAKS OUT
On Sunday, Pitbull responded to the online criticism.
On X, the singer wrote: “Kesha and I have an incredible song together.
“Nothing will change. Team Pitbull is investigating the matter.”
Always nothing but love for Kesha. Dale!” he concluded.
Fans were both relieved and happy that Pitbull spoke out about the situation.
“I’m glad Pitbull is standing up for Kesha,” one wrote.
Another echoed: “Pitbull always has Kesha’s back. I like to see that!”
Kesha and I have an incredible song together. That’s not going to change.

“He better add her name back!” shouted a third.
“Make sure this doesn’t happen again because Kesha has been through ENOUGH in this industry,” raged a fourth fan.
Over the years, Kesha battled a major legal battle against her former producer Dr. Luke after she claimed he allegedly sexually harassed her.
Since then, the Tik Tok singer has been living her life to the fullest while also releasing music as an independent artist.
On July 4th she released her hit Joyride.
Get the loan
Early in her career, Kesha sang on Flo Rida’s 2008 hit “Right Round,” but was initially uncredited.
Kesha was heard during the chorus of the rap song.
At the time, however, Kesha was just happy to be part of the song.
“I got no recognition, I didn’t get paid,” she told Entertainment Weekly in 2010.
“Honestly, I went into the studio and there was Flo Rida and Dr. Luke singing the song and I thought to myself, ‘I’ll just sing along. I’m just glad you like my voice enough to want to include me in your song.'”
On the contrary, Flo Rida revealed that she got “some of it” because she sang along to his song.
“I’m pretty sure she got something.
“I’m not familiar with that, but all the best for her career and everything.”
Kesha has recently been credited as a collaborator on the song.
