That’s right, Mr. 305 is flipping the bird on his left hand and flaunting an ear-to-ear smile while holding on tight to his honorary degree from the college in Miami. Priceless.
According to local TV station WPLG, the award was presented to Pitbull during a graduation ceremony for Doral Academy Charter High School and Doral College, which are affiliated.
“I remember being kicked out of a public school because I didn’t have the right address. That’s why I want better schools for the kids who live where I grew up,” he said.
“That’s why Doral Academy was founded, and that’s why I helped create SLAM (Sports Leadership and Management Academy) in the neighborhood where I grew up — a school that offers a choice for students, like me, students who need someone to inspire them, someone to believe in them.”
