Pitbull is making a big difference to some cancer patients in Puerto Rico by sending his private jet to the hurricane-ravaged island in order to bring them to the U.S. so they can continue their chemotherapy.
The Miami rapper’s generosity in this time of dire need was revealed by Puerto Rico Congresswoman Jenniffer Gonzales, who shared the news via Twitter.
“Thank you @pitbull for lending your private plane to move cancer patients from PR to USA so that they can get chemo,” she tweeted in Spanish.

“Thank God we’re blessed to help,” said Mr. Worldwide in a statement to the New York Daily News. “Just doing my part.”
Pitbull is the latest Latin music star to help relief efforts in Puerto Rico, including singer/actress Jennifer Lopez — who pledged a million dollars — while Daddy Yankee is using the platform of Tuesday’s Latin Grammy nomination for “Despacito” to “raise awareness and to ask for help from global community.”
