In Rare Comment About His Family, Pitbull Says He Doesn’t Want to Put His Children ‘In My World ‘Cause They’re Not Built For It Yet’
Pitbull has explained why he keeps his children out of public view: he believes they are not yet ready for the scrutiny attached to his celebrity. He says protecting their privacy is his responsibility, so they can form friendships and make choices about publicity for themselves as they grow older.
The rapper, whose real name is Armando Pérez, did not disclose how many children he has, saying only that he has “a lot”. He says his children enjoy seeing him perform, but he teaches them to avoid sharing personal details and says social media is off limits unless older children choose otherwise. His 14th studio album, *Pitcoin*, features collaborations with artists including Enrique Iglesias, Lil Jon and Bon Jovi.
