In Rare Comment About His Family, Pitbull Says He Doesn’t Want to Put His Children ‘In My World ‘Cause They’re Not Built For It Yet’

Pitbull, the singer and rapper whose real name is Armando Pérez, has been largely silent about his family life. In a recent Billboard cover story, he revealed that he keeps his personal life out of the public eye because his children are not yet ready for the scrutiny that comes with being the children of a famous musician.

Pitbull prefers not to disclose the number of children he has, but confirmed that he has "a lot of kids." He explained that when his kids grow up and want to decide for themselves how they want to live their lives, they will make those choices without his interference.

Stating that he is the "wild card" in his kids' life, Pitbull emphasized that if he were ever involved in a situation that could negatively affect his children, he would keep things private to protect them. He noted that people often associate a person with their famous relatives, which could put his children in an uncomfortable position.

Pitbull also revealed that he keeps his children away from social media, as he wants to shield them from any potential harm or unwanted attention. He advised them to make their own decisions about social media when they are older, but if they make a mistake, he would not step in to defend them.

The rapper, who recently dropped his 14th studio album, Pitcoin, said that his children love watching him perform in videos and on stage. However, he admitted that teaching them how to lie about the truth is necessary to protect their privacy.
