Rapper Pitbill whose real name is Armando Christian Perez, sent a private jet to Puerto Rico (where Hurricane Irma hit) so that cancer patients could receive treatment within the United States.
Congresswoman Jenniffer Gonzalez thanked the rapper in a Spanish-language tweet on Tuesday, writing:
“Thank you @pitbull for lending your private plane to move cancer patients from PR to USA so that they can get chemo.”
The rapper told People in a statement:
“Thank God we’re blessed to help. Just doing my part.”
