Kanye West is officially announced as one of the music acts to perform at the closing ceremony of Pan Am Games this year. The American hip-hop star is set to join Cuban-American rapper Pitbull and Canadian artist Serena Ryder at the televised event.

The announcement was made by TO2015 CEO Saad Rafi at a press conference held daily during the games. Asked why the officials chose American artists as headliners, he argued, "I wouldn't actually call Pitbull and Kanye West American artists. I think they're international artists."
