The boy was born in Miami, Florida. Here, his parents had to emigrate from Cuba. Real name is Armando Christian Perez. The father left the family shortly after the birth of his son, therefore the mother was mainly engaged in raising the child.
Childhood
Spanish roots made themselves felt: already at the age of 3, Perez read the works of the poet Jose Marti in the original. Such a passion instilled in his mother. Interest in Spanish poetry will help Peres write his own tracks in his native language in the future. The first musical examples for the boy were Miami bass and Celia Cruz. He also recognized the work of rappers such as Notorius Big and Nas. Photos of singer Pitbull are presented in the article.
Growing up
Perez grew up too early. Experiencing lack of money, he found affordable income - the sale of drugs. Noticing this, mom kicked him out of the house. Then Peres was adopted by a family from Georgia. After graduating from school, Perez understood what he wanted from life, so he began to comprehend the musical heights one by one.
Music
The first track, which received wide coverage, Perez recorded after talking with Lil John. Together with his musical collective, the guy recorded several songs for the album Kings of Crunk. Then Perezās track entitled āOyeā was taken as musical accompaniment for the movie āFast and the Furiousā.
In 2001, Peres received a proposal for a contract from the label Luke Records, which he gladly accepted. A few years later, Peres MIAMI's debut work was released. The main hit of the album was the song Culo, which was included in the list of the hottest rap tracks and appeared there for the eleventh. Having gained popularity and recognition, he managed to participate in concert tours of Eminem and Curtis Jackson (50 cent).
Singer Pit Bull thought about promoting Latin American music to the masses, be it rap, pop or soul. Soon, he found a like-minded person in the person of Sean Combs. Together they organized the project Bad Boy Latino, which helped to implement the idea.
Until 2006, everything went according to plan, the singer gradually achieved his goals. However, in May of the same year there was a soul-distorting change in the biography of Pit bull - the singer found out about the death of his father. Perez locked himself in. To somehow escape, he plunged into the music with his head. And in October of this year he appeared to the public with his new release - El Mariel. As you might guess, the work was dedicated to his father.
In this album, Perez revealed to the listener in a new image - a vulnerable guy who survived the loss of a loved one. For some, he even aroused sympathy. But not at all - most critics did not like the concept of the album, which consisted in the alternation of political tracks with club songs.
November 2007 was marked by the release of the album called The Boatlift, where Perez appeared as a gangster. Not that this direction was previously dispensed with, just this year Perez paid special attention to gansta rap.
Already in May of that year, the singer tried his hand at television projects and created his own show, which was called Pitbull's La Esquina. The program was shown on the mun2 channel until 2009.
In December 2007, fans learned that singer Pitbull was detained by police for drunk driving. The singer paid a bail of one thousand dollars and was released. It is not known why, but in the future all the charges against Peres were dropped.
In 2009, with the support of his own label Mr. 305 Inc. the singer released another album. This work differed from the previous ones by the variety of collaborative songs.
The singer does not forget about his Spanish roots. Lines in his native language appear in his head. All this led to the fact that in 2010 he released the album Armado, all of whose tracks were performed exclusively in Spanish.
In 2012, the singer Pitbull pleased his fans with a new release, on which Shakira and Christina Aguilera were listed as guest artists. The disc was called Global Warming.
In 2014, Perez released an album called Globalization. With one of the songs of this release, he performed at the opening of the World Cup in conjunction with Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte.
In 2015, Perez won recognition not only from his listeners. His new work, Dale, was recognized as one of the best Latin songs by Rolling Stone magazine. And also thanks to this record, Peres received the Grammy Award.
In March 2017, Perez released another album, the last one to date. Climate Change's work also included many collaborations with popular artists. To warm up interest in the disc, a year before the release on a regular basis, clips of Pit Bullās songs appeared on the net. The singer specifically emphasized these tracks, because he saw their potential. The main songs of the album are Messin 'Around, Greenlight, Can't Have and Options.
Concert fight
In the summer of 2009 there was an incident related to the rapper. At this time, singer Pit Bull traveled to cities as part of his concert tour. At one of these performances, the rapper hit a listener standing near the stage. As he himself says, a person behaved inappropriately - scattered money around him. This interfered with Perezās performance, so he pushed the guy to reassure him and asked him to stop acting like that. In response, a pack of money flew into Pitbull's face. The singer could not restrain aggression and hit the listener with his fist.
Conflict with Lindsay Lohan
In 2010, the reason for the hype was one of the lines of Pit Bull, in which he used the name Lindsay Lohan in a comparative circulation. The line took place in a song called Give Me Everything from the sixth album of Planet Pit.
The indignation alone did not end the matter - Lohan filed a lawsuit against Peres. She demanded monetary compensation. Firstly, for the fact that her name was generally used. Secondly, because this line could harm her career, because it carried a negative character. As a result, the judge dismissed Lohanās lawsuit because the lyrics in the song were protected by the First Amendment. This closed the case.
Chubby Stage
During a joint performance by Perez and Jennifer Lopez in the framework of the American Music Awards, an interesting situation occurred. Jennifer was so carried away by the process of speaking that she began to behave extremely shockingly. And this was manifested by the fact that she rubbed her booty on Peres trousers. The singer could not go against the natural nature and restrain himself in his arms. As a result, some viewers could watch the singerās erect penis through his pants. This was facilitated by the outfit of Jennifer: she was so tight-fitting suit that it seemed as if she was completely naked.
Diss on Lil Wayne
In 2013, another scandalous incident occurred with Peres. The fact is that Lil Wayne expressed his unflattering opinion about one of the Miami basketball teams. Pit Bull could not tolerate this - in response, he recorded a censuring Wayne track in his style.
Personal life
The singer Pit Bull is used to not giving publicity to his personal life, for him it is something hidden. However, this does not prevent him from supporting the image of a āhot machoā that has developed over the decades. Such a label was attached to it for a reason. His public appearances usually take place in the company of beautiful ladies. There were times that at seven different parties, one after another, he appeared with a new girl. Fans are amazed at how he does it.
Parties, tours, spirits and half-naked beauties - all this is part of his life, so you can often hear lines from his songs dedicated to these topics. However, the real life of Peres remains a mystery. Does he have children, wife? Was he ever truly in love? This information cannot be obtained even by the most persistent journalists.
