Pitbull is set to host the 2014 American Music Awards. The rapper, who served as a host at last year's ceremony, will also perform a song from his new album "Globalization" during the event scheduled for November 23.
Pitbull confirmed the news on Monday, October 20 in a statement. "World, who would have thought Pitbull hosting the AMAs two years in a row. The harder I work, the luckier I get," he wrote. "Thank you ABC and Dick Clark Productions for the amazing opportunity - more than anything let's get ready to have fun."
Last year's AMAs scored rating success, attracting 12.93 million total viewers. According to legendary American Music Awards producer Larry Klein, this year's edition will also be interesting.
"Pitbull is a global superstar and multi-talented powerhouse, who delivered one of the most exciting shows in American Music Awards history when he hosted in 2013. This year will be no different," he said. "We're working together to create elements of the show that will wow audiences and take the night to a whole new level."
The 2014 AMAs is airing live on ABC from the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live. Iggy Azalea is leading AMA nominees with six nods. Behind the Australian femcee are John Legend, Katy Perry and Pharrell Williams who bag five nominations each. More performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.
