Pitbull Talks Cuban Heritage, Love Life And Defends Chris Brown On 'The Howard Stern Show'

Pitbull or as Howard Stern (and the rest if the world) like to call him, Mr. Worldwide, paid a visit to the "Howard Stern Show" to promote his new SiruisXM "Globalization" Channel and, as always, had a very candid interview where the superstar, Stern and his sidekick Robyn chatted for an over an hour. The three discussed Pitbull’s childhood, love life, Cuban heritage, singing for President Obama and collaborating with Chris Brown amongst other things. Funny enough, the first thing that Stern wanted to know was why the singer kept shaving his head if “many guys would die to have hair” like he does. Pitbull responded he’s had that look for a while and likes to keep it “sleek; keep it movin’.”

When the Miami-born rapper love life came up, he said he was very private (only before revealing further on that he has commitment issues) to the point where he’s never taken a date to an event and if he did, we’d never know because he “doesn’t do red carpets.” Pitbull has six children with several different women, and Stern joked, “I’m glad you’re using a condom now; I’m proud of you.” Further on, when Jennifer Lopez came up, Stern asked why “he’s not bangin’ her” and the singer responded because she’s like an older sister to me; we’re very close friends and have worked together a lot.” But it just didn’t sound like Stern was convinced with his answer.

In a much touchier subject, Stern asked him if he’d been criticized for working with Chris Brown, and will he continue doing so. Pitbull said a very firm "yes," since he thinks Brown is amazingly talented and just needs a “tweak.” “I don't really think he's got a situation,” the singer said about Brown. “Growing up around the neighborhoods we grew up around, everyone had that kind of situation, so to me it's normal.” Pitbull continued gushing about Brown’s talents and said he’s even advised him to “channel his energy in a positive direction.” When Stern insisted on the matter asking if there was a “financial risk” in working with Brown, Pitbull responded he’s work with Chris over and over again, “I'm telling you, he's a good kid, good heart.”
