While Pitbull’s appeal may be to some degree global, it’s very rooted in both the local and latino flavors of his Miami, Florida roots. In fact in the open to his latest chart-topper, the Afrojack produced “Give Me Everything” featuring Ne-Yo and Nayer, he takes just pride in having gotten to this point in life given what he had to overcome to be a star: There’s no shame in his game and no apology for it.
