Pitbull feels Lindsay Lohan should be thanking him, rather than suing him, for taking a shot at her with a memorable line in his hit song, “Give Me Everything.” On his official fansite, he said , “I was very surprised when I found out about the lawsuit … at first I read it and I thought, ‘This has got to be a joke.'” Last week LiLo sued Pitbull for wrongfully using her name for commercial gain by using the lyric, “I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan” in the song. The rapper says it was all a joke and that he supports Lindsay’s career, adding that, “In no way shape or form would I wanna bring that on anyone.” “I didn’t look to defamate [sic], degrade or hurt someone’s career.” “For me mentioning it … on the number one record in the world … I thought it would be helping someone’s career and keeping them relevant.” Not an unreasonable point, considering Pitbull is collaborating on what seems like every other song on the radio today. Think about it, Lindsay. He concluded his discussion of the issue by inviting her to be his guest at the upcoming MTV VMAs. So far, no word if she’s taken him up on it. [Photos: WENN.com]
