After being temporarily rented earlier this week, the viral video is officially deleted by the singer's camp following the dispute between her management and Ark Music.Earlier this week, it was reported that Rebecca Black's viral hit video "Friday" was temporarily blocked and required a rental fee of $2.99 for anyone who would like to watch it. Following the issue, it is now confirmed that the 13-year-old singer's camp has totally pulled the clip off the site.

Many viewers who tried to access the video from the networking site have found a note that read, "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Rebecca Black." Shortly after the issue caused a little frenzy on the internet, Rebecca's rep officially declared the video removal.

"We can confirm that we submitted a Take Down Notice to YouTube as a result of the dispute we have with Ark Music regarding the 'Friday' video," announced the brunette singer's publicist via TMZ. The internet sensation has also threatened to sue Ark, insisting the company is wrongfully exploiting her image and her song because they do not own the rights to both.

Rebecca Black's single "Friday" was released on March 14 this year. The clip of the song became a viral hit due to criticism over the song's lyrics, the excessive use of Auto-Tune on Black's vocals as well as the content of the video. Despite all those criticisms, the video itself has been viewed more than 165 million times by people around the world.
