Now, the comment section is filled with compliments for Pitbull pointing out how handsome he really is.
Pitbull has rocked the baldness for many years. He is even considered one of the world's hottest bald men. Although many agree that it looks good on him, his image with long hair is so unique that the world has been divided into two: those who love him bald and those who want to see him with long hair. What do fans actually think of Pitbull with hair?
Pitbull With Long Hair TikTok
A TikTok of Pitbull with long hair went viral, and fans have once again felt in love with the rapper's sexy look. One fan commented, "Ain't Mr. Worldwide anymore. That's Mr. Universal."
Another user wrote, "I would let him UNO DOS TRES I KNOW U WANT ME to me," with a blushing emoji. Another hilarious comment from a fan was, "all the sudden, I'm Mrs. Worldwide."
Some people even pointed out that Pitbull with hair looks like a combination between David Beckham and Bradley Cooper.
Embracing Baldness
Although Pitbull has never revealed the reason behind his bald look, it is clear now that fans would love to see him with hair. He even inspired John Travolta to shave his head and embrace baldness. Pitbull was the one who gave Travolta the confidence to go bald finally. Besides being a great friend and knowing how to look good, Pitbull has had a pretty successful career. Let's take a look at it.
Cuban Roots
Pitbull was raised in Miami, in a neighborhood known as Little Havana. There, his parents taught him the power of words when he was young and recalled his first form of performance was reciting Cuban poetry at a bar for his father and his friends.
He grew up in rough and tough areas and witnessed many dog fights. He would relate to the hunger and hustle of the dogs to be a similar drive to his ambition to make it big in music and adopted the moniker of Pitbull.
After dabbling in drug dealing and witnessing a buyer nearly die of his product Pitbull decided that his passion for music and performance was his best ticket to make a name for himself. Following high school, he quickly became a local legend in Miami and adopted the city's area code as an alias introducing himself as Mr. 305. Still, the rapper was determined for more and wanted to become Mr. Worldwide.
On the other hand, his parents made it their mission to teach him all about his Cuban heritage and the importance of language and words, making Pitbull proclaim poems from the famous Cuban thinker José Martí at a very young age. This experience became crucial for his music career.
Pitbull's Dark Past
His father worked for a cruise line but later got involved heavily in drug trafficking, which resulted in his parents getting divorced. His mother was a fan of motivational speaker Tony Robbins and his lessons that there's no such thing as impossible would be a message that she would rub off on her young boy. His aunt and grandmother would also play a vital role in his upbringing.
Despite all this guidance, the artist got mixed up with street life and even got caught one day by his father taping pistols to the bottom of the car, according to The Daily Mail.
When his mother found out that he was dealing drugs, she kicked him out of her home, and from there, Pitbull would spend some time moving around, including a short stay with a foster family in Roswell, Georgia.
Around the time when he was 17, there was an incident while he was dealing drugs that he decided to lace his product with something that almost took the life of the buyer, according to People. The realization of what he had done was a turning point for him. He decided to get his life back on the straight and narrow and found a passion for basketball, which for the most part, kept him out of trouble.
Music Saved His Life
Outside of sports, Pitbull had also developed a deep love for music. Specifically, the Miami bass, a popular genre from the 90s, is one of his favorites. He also looked up to the likes of Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., Luther Campbell, Big Pun, as well as Cuban artists like Celia Cruz.
While in high school, he began to take rapping and performance seriously and would put on a show sporadically multiple times a day. Hundreds of his peers would gather around to watch and listen.
Pitbull recalls one of his teachers, Hope Martinez, to be one person besides his mother who told him that he had talent and would encourage him to pursue a career in the music industry. Now he is a dedicated dad to his children and fans couldn't be more proud of him.
