Pitbull’s been relatively quiet on the music front for quite some time but that isn’t keeping the Miami representative from balling like he’s the biggest artist in the music game.
According to Variety the “Give Me Everything” artist just plunked down a huge chunk of change to buy himself a football stadium. Yes, you read that right, a football stadium. Given, it’s a college football stadium, but still it’s a very impressive purchase. According to the report, Mr. 305 plunked down a cool $6 million on the FIU Football Stadium which will now be known as Pitbull Stadium for the next five years.
Per Variety:
Along with the name, according to the agreement, Pitbull can use the stadium for up to ten days a year, “Pitbull-affiliated” performers get preference to play at games, and, of course, Pitbull gets his own suite during every game in the stadium. In return, he’s going to make an “FIU Anthem” for the university’s sports teams and will show up for at least one fundraising event per year. We’re ready for all of it: Pitbull rocking a stadium named after himself, finding out what constitutes a Pitbull-affiliated performer, hearing Pitbull’s new fight song. If you didn’t have your eyes on the FIU Panthers season before now, dale!
Not a bad investment for $6 million. Don’t be surprised if others rappers follow suit in their respective cities and states.
