He has made half the world dance with his catchy songs "Fireball" or "Hey baby", among many others. But these days Pitbull is not news for his musical successes.

This week we heard the news that the singer was receiving a lawsuit from Florida Congressman Richard Corcoran when he discovered that the government of that state paid him, Executive President of Visit Florida, the state tourism marketing agency. Governor Rick Scott called for his resignation on Friday as he considered this fact unclear. Although he recognized that Seccombe's work in recent years has brought a large influx of tourists to Florida.

"Visit Florida's mission is crucial to our state's economic growth, and Will Seccombe has played a key role for many years in helping the state attract record numbers of tourists," Scott said in a letter to the chairman of the board. of Visit Florida executives. "However, these big changes require new leadership and ideas at the agency, and I think it would be better for Visit Florida's future efforts if Will step down and allow a new leader to take over at this critical time."

One of the most significant and criticized data of this agreement is, not only the treatment in favor of the singer, but the excessive amount of money offered, abusive according to many. In 2014, Taylor Swift was the star chosen to promote New York City through promotional videos, a televised New Year's Eve party, on social media and during her concerts, all activities very similar to those of Pitbull in Florida. The big difference is that NYC & Company, the New York equivalent of Visit Florida, didn't pay the artist a dollar.

Another fact to keep in mind is that while Pitbull had 23 million followers on Twitter, she counted no less than 82 million, a difference too large and that she did not report Taylor a penny.

Regardless of the controversy, the interpreter has wanted to make it very clear on his social networks that he loves Florida above any agreement and that he will continue to represent him with his head held high, regardless of who is upset. "It has been an honor to represent Miami and the Sunshine State," Pitbull wrote on Twitter.

"I have brought Miami and Florida to the world long before any contract, and I will continue to do so. I love my state, "he added.

At the moment the artist continues with his concert tour in his native state. Last night it was Tampa's turn, where he gave his all. "Let's dance!", He published on his Instagram account oblivious to all the criticism.
