Back in Miami, he also succumbed to the lure of fast cash from drug dealing, prompting his mother to kick him out of the home at age 16. Pitbull frequently moved as Alysha sought out various avenues of employment, and, at one point, he ended up in foster care in Roswell, Georgia. However, the elder Armando was more devoted to drug dealing than to family life, and the parents divorced in 1985. Pitbull received an early lesson in performing thanks to his father, who had his kindergarten-age son recite poetry in bars. His father Armando emigrated in the late 1970s and later helped ferry fellow Cubans to American shores during the 1980 Mariel Boatlift. Pitbull is a first-generation American son of Cuban immigrants: His mother, Alysha, arrived in the United States in early 1962 by way of Operation Peter Pan. Pitbull was born Armando Christian Pérez on January 15, 1981, in Miami, Florida. Worldwide,' Pitbull also heads his record label and production company and is prominently involved with the SLAM Organization’s national network of charter schools. Within a few years, the bilingual rapper honed a club-ready sound, fueling a string of Top 10 hits from albums like Planet Pit (2011) and Global Warming (2012). Pitbull developed his lyrical skills by battle-rapping on the streets of Miami, the regional buzz leading to the release of his 2004 debut album M.I.A.M.I.
