Pitbull has given fair warning to Donald Trump - "Watch out for El Chapo."
The Miami-born rapper (real name Armando Christian Pérez) wrapped up his acceptance speech with the message to Trump, which he delivered in Spanish at the Premios Juventad Awards, presented by Univision.
The real estate mogul received death threats from the escaped drug lord, Joaquin Guzman Loera, earlier this week via Twitter. Trump took the threats seriously enough to contact the FBI.
"I'm fighting for much more than myself," the 69-year-old presidential candidate told TMZ. "I'm fighting for the future of our country which is being overrun by criminals. You can't be intimidated. It's too important."
Pitbull also responded to Trump's controversial statements regarding immigration and said he would no longer stay or play at Trump-owned hotel.
"Due to what's been said, I wouldn't be able to," the "Mr. Worldwide" singer said in a video interview on Fusion's "America with Jorge Ramos" (via USA Today). "I can't, just for the simple fact that you're talking about a culture that I ride, I die for. This culture is the only reason I'm having this conversation right now."
The 34-year-old performer did concede Trump's political skills to build support from a certain group of angry voters.
"Donald Trump doesn't become Donald Trump by being ignorant. He may have a big ego -- we've all know that for years. What I think is that he found a button (illegal immigration) that he likes, and he sees that he got people mad and hot and he's gonna keep pushing it," Pitbull said.
He also added in his speech at the awards ceremony that voters either support Marco Rubio or Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.
