Pitbull blended his love for sports with his music, and he lights up the College Football Playoff National Championship.
The American rapper and singer-songwriter whose real name is Armando Christian Pérez delivered an electrifying performance at the Hard Rock Stadium before the national championship game, USA Today reported.
Pitbull thrilled the fans with his live performance at the Allstate Championship Tailgate, outside the stadium on January 19, before Indiana’s historic win.
The rapper who partnered with Florida University to rename its football stadium after him, the first stadium to be named after an artist in the US, charged up the atmosphere around the stadium as he performed his 2014 hit Fireball.
The day that began with a high-octane performance by Pitbull ended with the Indiana Hoosiers' 27-21 win over the Miami Hurricanes in Florida to win their first national title.
After the historic victory, Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti expressed, “We’re national champions. I know Indiana’s history was pretty poor, with some good years sprinkled in there. It was a basketball school. Emphasis is on football now. Have to be good in football now.”
“What’s this moment like for me? Back when I was waxing the staff table at IUP Thanksgiving weekend and the school was shut down for the playoffs … Did I ever think something like this was possible? Probably not. If you keep your nose down in life and keep working, anything is possible,” he added.
The game was attended by the US President Donald Trump. His daughter Ivanka Trump and granddaughter, the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr, Kai Trump, were also present at the stadium.
