Despite his Cuban heritage, Pitbull seamlessly blends into a key Perth aesthetic. That’s what makes him Mr Worldwide.
Many have been left wondering if they saw the producer megastar walking around Perth ahead of his Langley Park show toady or just another brickie off to the races.
We spoke to a bloke who “swears” he just bought a point off Pitbull but concedes it could’ve just been a races outfit-clad brickie, concreter or plumber. Adding,
“I told the bloke I loved his music and he just threatened to feed me the oos oos”
Indeed many have been fooled. To get to the bottom of how he can rock this style so effortlessly we spoke to an expert in Perth races fashion. He told us,
“You have to understand, early 00s fashion took a lot of influence from megastars like Pitbull. That’s how Tarocash made themselves a staple in races fashion. What we are seeing is it coming full cycle, where brickies are almost millionaires and can actually keep up with the fashion choices of Pitbull, the rest is just a bald head and penchant for horrible sunnies”
Well that certainly sheds some light on the matter.
