If you listen to his music, you will recall a line in a song of his. He says, “Always a hustling.” That phrase sums up his business ethic perfectly. He hustles to make money as a singer and business person. If you think his work is only music, you would be wrong. He has a fragrance line for both men and women. He started a TV production company and has partnerships with some of the biggest names in the world; Vodka, Kodak and Bud Light.
His stage name has a special meaning to him
He revealed in an interview for his autobiography, “Pitbull: Mr. Worldwide” that he wanted to be known as a certain breed of dogs for a reason. He said that pit bulls had a lock-jaw. They refuse to give up because they are too stupid to lose. And, it is against the law to own one in Miami-Dade communities. He said, “That is the story of my life.” He revealed he liked it when someone says he can’t do something. When he hears he cannot do something, something inside him exploded.
If you don't know where you're from, you don't know where you're going. Believe me, I know where I'm from. I love it. I wear it on my chest. Everywhere I go everybody knows Mr. 305, Mr. Dade County, Miami boy representing. When I say Mr. Worldwide, it's because we're all around the world. Now, we've got to think of another name like Mr. Another Planet or something.
Dress to impress
The women cannot resist his sharp suits. He dresses to impress. You won’t find him in jeans, T-shirts, and a baseball cap. No way. He dresses in Armani's suits and leather shoes. He claims he dresses well to prove he has grown. He says it is a signal of maturity and wealth. Usher said that Pitbull would show up for a concert dressed in an amazing suit and sweat for two-three hours in it. He said he is committed to whatever he does. Usher went on to say,” I have mad respect for him.”
Tells it like it is
You may not want to hear what he has to say, but that won’t stop him from talking. He gives you a dose of reality. He doesn’t care if you like what he has to say or not. He will speak his mind, and you can bet what he is saying is the truth. He went after Lindsay Lohan in one of his songs. He rapped, “ I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan.” She launched a defamation suit over the lyrics in one of his songs. She lost the lawsuit.
Challenging today’s youth
He wants to challenge young people in Miami to do more than they ever thought was possible. He wants the poor children to know that he has been where they are, but wealth is possible if you want it bad enough. He wants them to know with direction, they can be more successful than he is right now.
If we catch them at that little age, mold their minds, teach them what it is to be motivated, self-inspire, believe in themselves because coming from the neighborhood we came from no one believed in us ... this is changing the world little by little.
PitBull is a very interesting person. He came from a very poor household. Instead of using his indigent upbringing to feel sorry for himself, he used it as fuel to become a world-renowned rapper and business person. He wants to help other children become the next generation of leaders and business men and women.
