Pitbull has made mama proud –as if he didn’t have enough reasons to do so– and has brought home another award to hang on the wall.
This time Mr. Worldwide has made everyone happy after receiving an honorary degree from Miami’s Doral College early this month.

To be exact, he’s made hundreds of thousands of people happy on social media when he shared the big news Wednesday with a photo of his cap and gown, and his middle finger.
“For those that didn’t believe #Dale” he posted on Twitter and “To everyone who tells you you cant do something ” on his Facebook account, accompanied by a photo for the records.

That’s right, Mr. 305 is flipping the bird on his left hand and flaunting an ear-to-ear smile while holding on tight to his honorary degree from the college in Miami. Priceless.
According to local TV station WPLG, the award was presented to Pitbull during a graduation ceremony for Doral Academy Charter High School and Doral College, which are affiliated.
“I remember being kicked out of a public school because I didn’t have the right address. That’s why I want better schools for the kids who live where I grew up,” he said.
“That’s why Doral Academy was founded, and that’s why I helped create SLAM (Sports Leadership and Management Academy) in the neighborhood where I grew up — a school that offers a choice for students, like me, students who need someone to inspire them, someone to believe in them.”
