“I don’t understand the word ‘lose’, I only understand the word ‘learn’”

It’s all about music, because music is basically what’s, been my avenue out of maybe being involved in things I shouldn’t be.

I started doing shows in places that I couldn’t pronounce, didn’t know existed, and I’ve seen people that didn’t speak English or Spanish rapping to every lyric and singing to every hook. I said, “This is the type of music that I want to do.”

I was taught in kindergarten: sharing is caring.

My owner is life and that’s what I fight for.

Punish the deed, not the breed.

My whole thing is just being a part of good music.

I already had three strikes against me. One, I have light skin. Two, I’m from Miami, which wasn’t getting looked at at the time. Three, I’m Cuban. But now, I’ve made everything that stacked against me into a virtue.

Show the World where you’re from, show the World we are one.

The thing with me and endorsements is it’s harder for me to get endorsements because of the simple fact that I want in.

I can be a part of everything. Every movement.

It’s the true meaning of music being a universal language, constantly fighting and going through different boundaries in order for new people to hear the music and be like, “Oh, sh*t! I mess with this Pitbull kid.”

There’s no success without failure and no winning without losing.

I don’t agree when the USA, that lives by a constitution, says, OK, just because you look this way, we’re going to ask you for your documentation, or you gotta go back to your country.

This is the truth: I’m into sales. I love deals. I’m definitely a sucker for steals.

Don’t be afraid to lose. Listen. And always invest in yourself.

If you look at Cuba what’s the benefit in being in Cuba? Really? It’s almost like being in prison. You can’t think. You can’t have your own opinions. You have no opportunity. You just gotta live life the way you were born into it.
