Pitbull: “JLo is a walking empire”

Rapper Pitbull has praised his often-collaborator Jennifer Lopez, calling her “a walking empire”.

Speaking to Reuters, the ‘I Know You Want Me’ star opened up about his heritage, his projects and his collaborations. In particular, he talked about working with Jennifer Lopez, with whom he has three duets: ‘On The Floor’, ‘Dance Again’ and the latest tune ‘Live It Up’.

“Jennifer is a hard worker, very professional, gorgeous and she’s a walking empire,” he said. “Anytime I’m around her, I’m watching, learning, studying. It’s a natural combination, like a student and teacher. I’m a student all day. I think it would be an honor for Jennifer to watch me grow and say, ‘That kid did learn.’”

In the interview, Pitbull also talked about the origin behind his moniker. His namesake dog, he claims, is “misunderstood”.

“Pitbulls are misunderstood and that’s the same thing with me when I first came into the music business. Being Cuban-American made me politically incorrect,” he added. “My whole life was trying to make people understand that we all come from the same place. It’s the same with the dog. The pitbull is a very loyal, very loving dog that doesn’t understand the concept of losing. I believe in fighting hard for what you believe in and never giving up.”
