After a brief period of confusion and fan outrage, Kesha's credit has been restored on Pitbull's hit song "Timber" on YouTube. Fans noticed over the weekend that Kesha's name had been mysteriously removed from the video's title. Pitbull quickly addressed the issue on social media, assuring fans that his team was investigating the matter.

As of Monday, Kesha's name has been reinstated in the credits, listed as "Pitbull, Ke$ha – Timber (featuring Ke$ha – Official Video)." The reason for the initial removal remains unclear, although some speculated it was connected to Kesha's past legal battles with producer Dr. Luke.

"Timber" remains a popular hit for both artists, boasting over 1.5 billion streams on Spotify. Both Kesha and Pitbull continue to perform the song live.
