Among those who will be in attendance at the ceremony honoring Pitbull is Luther “Luke” Campbell.
Luke, who played a vital role in establishing Pitbull’s music career, explained that the rapper was an artist who was “difficult into getting off the streets.”
“I remember having this conversation—Probably the one who was much more difficult into getting off the streets was Pitbull,” Luke said, during a 2014 interview with Vlad TV. “He was very, very difficult to let him understand—I actually had to take him and have him rap in front of a mirror. To let him look at his self because at the end of the day this kid was going in a totally different direction and he wouldn’t have been the guy he is today. And that’s basically what I was doing in the music business in Miami. Just trying to save young men’s lives.”
