Lindsay Lohan Sues Rapper Pitbull Over Song Lyric
August 26, 2011
The latest celebrity feud started this week when Lindsay Lohan's lawyer said she was suing rapper Pitbull for using her name in his song Give Me Everything.
The song includes the lyric: "I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan."
Lohan, suing under New York civil rights laws, is concerned the song's reference to her stint in jail will cause "irreparable harm" to her reputation. Ka-ching!
Pitbull says the matter is with the lawyers now and he's still going to sing the song at Sunday's VMAs. He even invited Linds to the show.
When he first heard about the lawsuit, he says in a video on his Planetpit site, "... I was like, you've got to be joking."
He wasn't referring to her jail stint, he says. "When I mentioned Lindsay Lohan in the record, it was a really positive message," he explained, saying the expression is actually flattering. "If you play at the park, if you're from the neighborhood, if you got it locked up it means you run that area."
So it was really a compliment. "I don't look to degrade or hurt someone's career,'' he said. "We mention people's names all the time. Rapping is always about double meanings and metaphors."

Then he would have on lock not locked up. Pitbull is a dumbass, and i'm sick of hearing his wanna be gangster ass on radio. Lindsay need's to get a life.... maybe go back to the thing she's famous for. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

She thinks it's a lyric by Pitbull that's going to cause "irreparable harm" to her reputation? | |

She thinks it's a lyric by Pitbull that's going to cause "irreparable harm" to her reputation? Exactly, what about her actual jail stint? In law, public comments that cause damage would have to be considered by a judge to be untruthful (and probably not in a song lyric) to be slanderous. | |
