Dale, Class of 2020! Watch Pitbull’s salute to Miami’s quarantine graduates

Pitbull is back up on the roof.

The rapper climbed up to the top of his SLAM! Charter School to send a message to the Class of 2020.

In a black and white video posted to his Instagram, Mr. 305 wears a cap and gown and talks to the camera:

“I’m reporting live once again from the rooftop,” he says, referring to the video he shot at the Little Havana school for his anthem, “I Believe That We Will Win,” released in March.

Pit has some inspirational words for the graduates who are living through “historical” times.

“You’re gonna be the ones who are going to make a difference and to make sure we are not in this position in the future,” he said.

Mr. Worldwide added that he understands that things are challenging right now, with the coronavirus pandemic and George Floyd protests, but wants people to see a positive side.

“Let me flip it,” he said, adding that instead of spreading the virus, we should spread love, “positivity” and humanity, “sharing not greed, education not ignorance, fight not fear.”

“You guys are going to lead us to a new world,” the music star adds. “I am highly proud of you guys and honored to even have this conversation with you all.”

The video ends with the “Give Me Everything” singer throwing his cap into the air with his signature (trademarked) yell.

“EEEEEEEYOOOOOO!”
