Congrats are in order for rapper Pitbull. The Miami native was just honored yesterday with a key to the city!
They still do that? Que cute!
And the Cuban-American, whose real name is Armando Perez, is really grateful.
Pitbull says about receiving the key, "I can't help but keep staring at it, because it's something I've worked so hard for. I'm very passionate about Miami."
Miami Commissioner Thomas Regalado, who presented the key to Pitbull, says "Pitbull not only lives in Miami, but he's been traveling the country and the world sharing a positive message of Miami. So, we should honor not only the dignitaries that visit, but those individuals who make a positive impact on the city."
Well, positive image minus the punching someone in the face during a concert incident. Oh, and those drunk driving allegations.
But everyone makes mistakes, and apparently MIA is cool with that.
Pitbull adds, "Miami has built my character, and it has taught me a lot about life and helped me in my career," he said, wearing a three-piece gray suit.
Congrats!
P.S. We're really not feeling the pencil-thin mustache, papi.
