Pitbull, aka Mr. 305, Mr. Worldwide and Lil’ Chico, now has a new nickname to add to his collection of monikers: Harry High Pants.
The American rapper was given the honor of singing at the World Cup opening ceremony in Brazil alongside Jennifer Lopez last night, but the problem is, no one knows what they sang because all anyone could focus on were his high-waisted, cropped white pants.

Pitbull donned loafers and a Brazil jersey tucked in — we repeat, tucked in — to the tight white capris for his performance in front of hundreds of millions of viewers. Brave man.
And he copped a serious amount of fashion flack in the process.
Buzzfeed called the trousers “diaper pants” and “mom jeans,” while Twitter users said he looked like “the Cuban Simon Cowell.”
Pitbull is looking well here isn't he? His shoes should have a party and invite his pants to come down and join in

The biggest issue in Brazil isnt drugs, violence, or corruption. Its Pitbull's high waisted pants

Lopez, on the other hand, was wearing no pants at all, opting for a skimpy leotard with tassels on the back.
But not even her busty sequined bodysuit could distract from the intensity of his pants.
For the record, Pitbull, Lopez and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte sang the World Cup anthem, “We Are One (Ole Ola).”
And despite the trouser trouble, the rapper still has one fan out there:
People be dissing Pitbull's pants and I don't even think you people understand HOTNESS.
