He’s the self-proclaimed “Mr. Worldwide”… And, now it appears Pitbull will be Mr. New Year…

The 30-year-old Cuban-American rap superstar will be ringing in 2012 with a special performance in front of millions in New York City’s Times Square just before the ball drops on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest.”

Pitbull will join Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga in New York City for the 40th anniversary of the annual year-end celebration, which will be broadcast live on ABC.

Hosted by Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest, the show features high-octane performances, as well as coverage of the official Times Square Ball drop.

Last year’s performers included Ke$ha, Taio Cruz and Jennifer Hudson.
