See Pitbull With His Dad Armando Perez

Oh. My. Gosh. We have seen some cute father and son pictures, but Pitbull and his dad, Armando Perez, Sr. really take the cake here.

The rapper has tons of Cuban pride, which he credits to his dad, who immigrated to Miami from Cuba with his mother. Unfortunately, these two did not have a easy road together, as the rapper was mainly raised by his mother because his dad had serious substance abuse issues. Pitbull, who also sold drugs at a young age, credits a run-in with his dad on the streets with cleaning his life up and allowing him to focus more seriously on music.

Sadly, the rapper's dad passed away in May 2006 after a year-long battle with cancer, but his memory lives on. Pitbull dedicated his 2006 album 'El Mariel' to his dear old pops. R.I.P., Armando.
