Pitbull has clarified that Kesha’s name was not intentionally removed from the credits of their 2013 hit “Timber.” Recent observations by YouTube users noticed the omission, leading to speculation about a possible dispute with the song’s producer, Dr. Luke. Pitbull responded on X, affirming his respect for Kesha and stating, “Team Pitbull is looking into this matter. Always nothing but love for Kesha, Dale!”

Kesha, who was involved in a prolonged legal battle with Dr. Luke over serious allegations, has recently shifted her focus to her independent career. Following the resolution of her legal issues in March 2024, she has embraced a new phase of creative freedom, releasing her first independent single, “Joyride.” Kesha describes her new work as deeply personal and reflective of her artistic control and growth.
