Pitbull has been awarded an honorary degree by Doral College in Miami for his services to education.

He announced the news online, posting a picture of himself with his new degree and in his robes holding up his middle finger to the camera.

In a speech he gave whilst accepting his degree, Pitbull said: "I remember being kicked out of a public school because I didn't have the right address. That's why I want better schools for the kids who live where I grew up.

"That's why Doral Academy was founded, and that's why I helped create SLAM (Sports Leadership and Management Academy) in the neighbourhood where I grew up - a school that offers a choice for students, like me, students who need someone to inspire them, someone to believe in them."

Pitbull is the first ever person to receive an honorary degree from Doral College.
