Pitbull To Be Honored At BMI Latin Music Awards

By Michael Lopez

Pitbull better make some extra room on his mantle because it looks like he'll be receiving a very prestigious statuette. News broke this week that Mr. 305 is set to snag the President's Award at this March's BMI Latin Music Awards.

Taking down the coveted President Award puts Pit with some pretty elite company. Previous honorees have included Juanes and will.i.am, both of whom have sold millions of albums.

And that's precisely why the BMI execs have chosen Pitbull as this year's big winner. In the past several months, his "Give Me Everything" single has sold over 8 million copies and given him the #1 slot on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.

Add to that countless gold albums and a hugely successful touring career, and you've got yourself an artist more than worthy of hanging with "The Pres." Look for Pit to accept his award March 31 at a posh gala in Las Vegas.
