ALASKA - In Kodiak "Mr. Worldwide," aka rapper Pitbull, made his special appearance Monday.

Over 2,000 people gathered to see the man from Miami.

Although he wasn't scheduled to perform, near the end of the meet and greet Pitbull hopped on stage with the Kodiak Drum Band.

Pitbull's trip to Alaska comes after a Facebook promotional "like" contest.

A Boston reporter thought it would be funny to exile him to the most remote part of the country and started a viral campaign.

The Kodiak Walmart won the appearance with over 70,000 likes.
