Pitbull Ignites Firestorm With Resurfaced Profanity-Filled Message About The U.S.

Pitbull is going viral after a concert clip from four years ago captured the rapper delivering a blunt message about the United States, and not everyone agrees with what he had to say. The "Fireball" hitmaker addressed the crowd in footage that has recently recirculated on X, where he spoke passionately about patriotism, immigration, and gratitude for living in America.

During the speech, Pitbull didn't hold back as he spoke directly to the audience about his views on the country.

“Whoever the f-ck doesnt like the United States of America, may God bless you but f-ck you at the same time. If you don't like the United States of America, go back to the countries that we are from, and you will see how much you appreciate the United states of America.”

The moment quickly regained traction online, with users resharing clips and debating his comments across social media platforms. "Yes! Couldn't have said it better myself!" one person wrote as another commenter took a different tone, saying, "Who gives a sh-t on what he has to say ?"

"I need to know what's the motive behind why so many Cubans are conservative," someone else asked. "What do they get out of it? Genuinely asking."

Meanwhile, others connected the discussion to broader political tensions in the country. "It's not that we don't like the U.S.," someone explained. "It's that we don't like how the current administration has the U.S. looking like Nazi Germany."

The reactions also highlighted the current ongoing divide in American political discourse, with debates often spilling into discussions about leadership, policy, and national identity.

Some critics referenced controversial claims surrounding President Donald Trump, including remarks attributed to former chief of staff John Kelly, alleging Trump spoke positively about Adolf Hitler's generals. Kelly has long been critical of Trump and previously accused him of calling veterans killed in combat "suckers" and "losers."

According to Kelly, Trump "commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" and allegedly expressed interest in having military leaders similar to those of Nazi Germany, claims that fueled political controversy at the time.

Pitbull, whose real name is Armando Christian Pérez, was born in Miami, Florida, on January 15, 1981, making him a U.S. citizen. He is a first-generation American, as his parents were Cuban expatriates, and he identifies as Cuban-American.

He previously opened up about the immigration status of America, telling "The View" that this country was "built by immigrants." The rapper went on to explain that his family always emphasized one key message while he was growing up in the U.S., that he was born an American and should make the most of the opportunities that came with it.

Pitbull has also spoken publicly about his family's deep ties to Cuban history and how those experiences ultimately shaped his life in America. According to the rapper, his grandmother initially supported Fidel Castro during the Cuban Revolutionary War. However, by the 1960s, she began to believe the political direction of the country was not what she had hoped for.

Pitbull previously told The Guardian that it eventually "became clear" to his grandmother that "he wasn't the best for the country." As a result, she made the difficult decision to send her daughters, including Pitbull's mother, to the United States through Operation Peter Pan, a mass exodus program that brought thousands of unaccompanied Cuban minors to America during the Cold War era.

During that same 2019 appearance on "The View," Pitbull addressed the ongoing immigration debate and political tensions, urging Americans to focus on what unites them rather than what separates them.

"We are the United States of America, not the Divided States of America," he said. "We all bleed the same blood, we all breathe the same air, we all put our pants on one leg at a time. And when we start figuring that out, is when we can really understand that we're really not that different. We're really more similar than we believe."
