Kesha’s Name Back in Credits For Pitbull’s ‘Timber’ Video After Mr. Worldwide Said He Was ‘Looking Into’ Reports of Removal

Kesha's name back on credits for video to Pitbull's 2013 No. 1 hit 'Timber' after fans said it was removed; Pitbull said he's investigating.

Ke$ha and Pitbull perform onstage during the 2013 American Music Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Nov. 24, 2013 in Los Angeles, California. The statement from Pitbull appeared to come after Kesha fans flooded social feeds on Sunday with anger over the apparent erasure of her significant contribution to the song which peaked at No. Many fans speculated that the removal could have been tied to Kesha’s yearslong feud with the song’s main producer, Dr. Luke (born Lukasz Gottwald), whom she sued in 2014 alleging that he sexually, mentally and emotionally abused her; Dr. Luke denied all the allegations and filed a defamation suit in response, with the two settling of court in 2023 just before a trail was set.
