Pitbull is taking over Sin City…

The 43-year-old Cuban American rap superstar will bring his Miami swagger to Las Vegas for a new musical residency.

PitbullThe Pitbull: Vegas After Dark the Residency will debut on November 8 at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, where Pitbull will take the stage at the BleauLive Theater for a series of eight weekend concerts between the end of this year and the beginning of the next.

The dates are November 8-9, January 24-25, and March 7, 8, 14 and 15.

Tickets go on presale on Tuesday (September 24) and to the general public the next day at 9:00 am PT/12:00 pm ET on the Fontainebleau website.

“Fontainebleau’s legacy of top-tier entertainment stems from its Miami Beach roots,” said Fontainebleau Las Vegas Senior Vice President of Entertainment, Fedor Banuchi, in a press release. “We are honored to have Mr. 305 himself bring his Miami flair to BleauLive Theater for this iconic limited engagement.”

Pitbull is in the midst of his Party After Dark Tour, a 26-city trek that began on August 21 in Virginia and ends on October 5 in Albuquerque, NM.

His new show in Las Vegas will include “state-of-the-art visuals, pyrotechnics,” and a repertoire of hits such as “Give Me Everything,” “Timber,” “Time of Our Lives,” “International Love,” “Feel This Moment,” “Fireball” and “Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor).”

“Backed by his incredible band, The Agents, and his dynamic dancers, The Most Bad Ones, the fusion of music, lights and special effects will create a sophisticated, high-energy party for everyone in attendance,” according to the press release.

Pitbull, who frequently performs in Las Vegas, opened a SLAM charter school in Nevada in 2016, expanding his commitment to education that began with the first SLAM school in Miami. According to the release, the schools — whose name is an acronym for Sports, Leadership, Arts and Management — now serve nearly 10,000 students in various states.

The artist’s last residency in Sin City was Time of Our Lives, which opened at The AXIS on September 23, 2015, and closed on May 25, 2019.

Pitbull has added another award to his resume…

The 33-year-old Cuban American rap superstar, the top-ranking Latino artist on Forbes’ World’s Highest-Paid Hip-Hop Acts list, was honored with the first ever Family Day Artist Achievement Award at the T.J. Martell Foundation Family Day, recently held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.

The T.J. Martell Foundation uses Family Day, a carnival-style fundraiser with silent auctions and musical performances, to help raise money for cancer, leukemia and AIDS research. To date, the foundation has raised over $5 million, with Corson and his team contributing over $300,000.

Orangizers said the decision to highlight Pitbull, who headlined the day’s musical showcase, was an easy one, considering the artist’s history in the industry and path to stardom.

“He’s one of the great stories in music in the last five or six years. I know what family means to him, and I know that he’s a guy that really stands behind causes. I just hoped he would do it, and he agreed in an instant.”

Pitbull, born Armando Christian Perez, was thrown out of his parental home and spent time with a foster family with whom he never felt fully comfortable.

“Something like this doesn’t come with a whole lot of hard work,” Pitbull said while accepting the award, just moments after finishing his set of hits, including his most recent singles “Fireball” and “Timber.”

“I didn’t grow up with much of a family, so everybody that’s out here enjoying Family Day together, this is what it’s all about. There’s nothing like family.”

The event was hosted by Hilary Duff and also featured performances by Timeflies, Bleachers, Us the Duo and Bea Miller.

Pitbull is a Cash King…

The 33-year-old Cuban American rap superstar, who recently released the official music vide for his latest single “Fireball,” has earned a spot on Forbes’ list of the World’s Highest-Paid Hip-Hop Acts, which is compiled from “pretax earnings for living artists whose work is primarily classified as hip-hop or rap.” Earnings include “income from touring, record sales, publishing, merchandise sales, endorsements and other ventures.”

Pitbull comes in at No. 13 on the financial magazine’s Cash Kings list, with a reported haul of $12 million during the reporting period from June 2013 to June 2014.

Along with performing at some 50 concert dates last year, Pitbull also made bank through lucrative endorsement deals for products including Kodak, Dr. Pepper, Voli vodka and Budweiser. He’s also recently announced plans to launch his own Sirius XM channel.

But Pitbull isn’t the only Latino on the list…

Swizz Beatz made $8 million during the same reporting period, landing him at the No. 16 spot on the list.

The 36-year-old half-Puerto Rican hip-hop artist and record producer is considered a rare exception among hip-hop’s top earners because he didn’t tour this year. But he does earn plenty on production and side ventures with the likes of Reebok, Lotus and Monster headphones. Don’t expect him to slow down, either: he’s been taking classes at Harvard Business School to hone his already-sharp financial skills.

Pitbull’s on fire(ball)…

The 33-year-old Cuban American rap superstar has released the official music video for his latest single “Fireball,” featuring John Ryan.

The track is a Latin dance explosion, and the music video perfectly matches that vibe. There’s even a Who Framed Roger Rabbit? shout-out, when a femme fatale enters the club in a red sequin dress and causes all the men to have cartoonishly over-the-top reactions.

A trio of Internet celebs — Jenna Marbles, Bart Baker and Brittany Furlan — make blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameos in the clip as members of Pit’s entourage.

Pitbull is a fireball of talent…

The 33-year-old Cuban American rap superstar has released a new track called “Fireball” from his upcoming album Globalization.

Pitbull

The track, which was released on Pitbull’s SoundCloud page, features guest vocals from singer-songwriter John Ryan.

“Fireball” is an upbeat and highly-danceable track that’s seemingly inspired by Brazilian music.

“I saw I came I conquered/ Or should I saw I conquered I came/ This little chico on fire he ain’t no lie/ While y’all slippin’ he’s runnin’ the game,” Pitbull raps over the horns and clanging percussion.

Ryan’s vocals then emerge on the hook, singing, “I was born in a flame/ I’mma say that every world will know my name/ I’m the best you never had/ If you think I’m burning out, I never am/ I’m on fire.”

Globalization is Pitbull’s eighth studio album. It’s scheduled for release this fall via RCA Records.
