World Cup anthem rapper Pitbull is not a soccer fan

Rapper Pitbull performed the 2014 World Cup anthem with some help from Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte, but just because he was the soundtrack for the world's largest soccer tournament, does not mean that he is a fan of the sport.

Rapper Pitbull performed the 2014 World Cup anthem with some help from Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte, but just because he was the soundtrack for the world's largest soccer tournament, does not mean that he is a fan of the sport.

In fact, the Bud Light pitchman recently told Rolling Stone magazine that he has a hard time even watching the sport.

Your new album includes the theme song you did for the 2014 World Cup. Are you any good at soccer? Could you play in the Cup?
Definitely not. I can hardly watch it, to be honest with you! But I think it's an amazing business – it's not as big in the United States, but it's the biggest sport in the world. Something like Pitbull's career.

Pitbull's favorite thing about soccer being how much money it makes is almost as hilarious as him referring to himself in the third person.
