‘We want answers’: Pitbull faces backlash after Kesha’s name gets zapped from hit song
What happened? ?Qué pasó?
Pitbull got pulled in to a little drama over the weekend over one of his collaborations.
Music fans with a lot of time on their hands noticed Kesha was no longer listed on the YouTube title for 2013’s “Timber.”
But the pop star, 37, was indeed fully involved in the dance hit, off the Miami rapper’s EP “Meltdown.”
Not only did Kesha belt out the chorus, she also appeared in the video, which was shot at the Round Up cowboy bar in Davie, Florida.

Mr. 305 quickly addressed the matter, Tweeting on Sunday: “Kesha and I have an incredible song together. Nothing will change this. Team Pitbull is looking into this matter.”
Underneath the post, which the 43-year-old entertainer ended with his signature phrase, “Dale!”, people came through with a bunch of conspiracy theories.
A few seem to think the tea is that Kesha was removed because the two artists are beefing.
“We know damn well ur team did it,” accused one social media user. “We want answers.”
One person even alleged Pit found out that the “Die Young” singer gossiped about him, and, feeling “pissy,” zapped her name.
At least someone kept a level head: “The fans in these comments, they need to pipe down. Fake news spreads too fast.”
It’s still unclear why the track’s title was temporarily amended. But Kesha’s back on it now, and all is right with the world.
