Kesha fans noticed that the “Timber” video title seemed to be missing her name from the song she famously collaborated with Pitbull. It sparked a wave of speculation all over social media sites, especially amongst the most die-hard Kesha fans.
“Timber,” 2013, was a big success for both Pitbull and Kesha; its music video has already garnered more than 1.4 billion views on YouTube as of August 2023. The success of the song and how it worked in terms of benefiting the career of both artists are indelibly marked in pop music history as a really memorable collaboration. When fans noticed the omission of Kesha’s last name from the video title, they turned to social media to express their outrage and confusion.

Then, the sudden disappearance of Kesha gave way to large numbers of theories, with fans asking selflessly if it was a glitch or something more deliberate. Hashtag activity on Twitter was especially high with Kesha and “Timber” hashtags having their moments; her fans wanted their clarity, calling for the reinstatement of her name.
In the midst of increasing concern, there was complete silence from Kesha or Pitbull’s side on the matter. The problem, however, came to end when viewers began to realize that Kesha’s name was once again attached to the video—in the title as well as under the credits section. Despite this, the foremost transient period of confusion remained for some fans who continued to wonder why, in the first place, her name had vanished.
The incident, minor in the fullness of time, did more to prove an excellent case for just how deeply bonded artists are with their fans and how even the slightest signs of perceived wrongdoing can ripple across social media. Though it’s clear exactly what happened to cause the name’s disappearance, its quick resolution has calmed much of the fan angst, allowing them to continue enjoying the hit collaboration without further distraction.
