Pitbull canceled his concert at the LA County Fair so he could be with his family when Hurricane Dorian makes landfall in Florida.
“According to Pitbull’s management, the artist cannot safely depart from Miami. Pitbull, a resident of Miami, has chosen to stay and tend to the safety of his family,” a statement read on the LA County Fair website.
