Major Controversies There was a legal dispute between Pitbull’s label at the time (TVT Records) and “Slip-n-Slide” over an unreleased album “Welcome to the 305”. A Miami court ordered to help the release as Pitbull was an artist in Slip-n-Slide. A U.S. court again ruled against TVT Records and ordered for TVT Records to pay $9.1 million to block the release.

Lindsay Lohan sued Pitbull, Ne-Yo and Affrojack for not compensating her for using her name in negative connotation. The judge overruled her appeal saying that the song is covered under the Fiest Amendment which covers two aspects -freedom of speech and creative expression.
