CORRECTION:An earlier version of this story misstated the real name of Joaquin Guzman Loera, the escaped drug lord known as El Chapo.
Pitbull has joined the growing legion of celebrities vowing to steer clear of Trump hotels.
In a video interview on Fusion's America With Jorge Ramos, the Miami-born Cuban rapper sagely pointed out that, "Donald Trump doesn't become Donald Trump by being ignorant. He may have a big ego -- we've all know that for years. What I think is that he found a button (illegal immigration) that he likes, and he sees that he got people mad and hot and he's gonna keep pushing it."
Would he stay or play at any of Trump's hotels or casinos? Nope.
"Due to what's been said, I wouldn't be able to," said the performer, whose birth name is Armando Christian Pérez. "I can't, just for the simple fact that you're talking about a culture that I ride, I die for. This culture is the only reason I'm having this conversation right now."
He followed that up with a statement at Thursday's Premios Juventad Awards ceremony, presented by Univision, the Spanish-language broadcaster that spearheaded the Trump boycott movement by dropping his Miss USA Pageant.
At the tail end of his acceptance speech for top urban artist, he warned Trump in Spanish, "Watch out for El Chapo," referring to Joaquin Guzman Loera, the Mexican drug lord who recently escaped from prison.
He also called upon presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton to beat Trump at the ballot box.
Cue the Trump response/diss in 3, 2, 1 ....
