Pitbull has confessed that he was "very surprised" by the lawsuit filed by Lindsay Lohan and he admitted that he thought it was all a joke.

The 'I Know You Want Me' rapper is currently being sued by the 'Mean Girls' actress after he referenced her in his single 'Give Me Everything'.

Pitbull raps: “I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan.” But the rapper explained that he couldn't believe that the legal action is real.

On his official website PlanetPit.com, Pitbull said: "I was very surprised when I found out about the lawsuit. To me it was very ironic, to be honest with you. At first I read it and I thought, ‘It’s gotta be a joke.’ [But] come to find out that’s it’s very realistic.”

The Miami rapper claims that he didn't mean to cause offense to the actress with his lyric.

“When I mention Lindsay Lohan in the record it’s really a positive message,” he explained. “When I say I got it locked up, if you play at the park, if you from the neighborhood, when they say you got it locked up, that means you run that area.”

According to Lohan's legal action, the track caused her "irreparable harm". But the rapper said: “In no way shape or form would I want to bring that on anybody and I didn’t look to defamate, degrade, or hurt someone’s career.

"For me mentioning it on a No. 1 record around the world, I thought it would be helping someone’s career and also keeping them relevant."
