A New York federal judge has thrown out Lindsay Lohan‘s lawsuit against rapper Pitbull.

Lohan sued Pitbull in 2011 under New York’s Civil Rights Law, claiming that the lyrics “Hustlers move aside, so I’m tiptoein’, to keep flowin’/ I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan” in his hit song “Give Me Everything” were ”disparaging and defamatory.”

According to papers, Lohan claimed the lyrics were ”destined to do irreparable harm” to her reputation and caused her “emotional distress.”

The judge ruled that the song is protected under the First Amendment because it’s a work of art. ”Even if the defendants used plaintiff’s name in one line of the Song without her consent, such conduct is insufficient to meet the threshold for extreme and outrageous conduct necessary to sustain a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress,” the judge ruled.

Pitbull is said to be pleased with the outcome of the lawsuit. ”This will further solidify the rights of artists to express themselves in song,” his lawyer said in a statement. “He felt it was very important to address this head on to protect his right and the rights of other artist. He decided to fight this.”
