There are many viewers of the #AMAs who questioned the choice of rapper Pitbull based purely on his hosting skills, but there are many more who don’t think he should have been allowed to host the American Music Awards because he “isn’t American,” which isn’t true.
Pitbull was born in Miami, Florida to parents who were Cuban immigrants, but obviously a lot of people don’t know that or take the time to find out:

I'd rather have Chewbacca host the fucking AMA's than Pitbull, he's just as American.

Many even want to send the Miami-born rapper “back to Cuba”:
Pitbull can take his ass back to Cuba, he's terrible
