Rapper Pitbull was found not guilty of driving while under the influence and was acquitted of all charges on Thursday. When Pitbull took the stand, he claimed that his 'celebrity status' was the reason he was pulled over.

“I was targeted because I am celebrity.”

Pitbull used this excuse in court even though he was caught speeding past police doing 93 mph, his breath smelled like liquor, and he had slurred speech.

The jury debated for about 3 hours before deciding that he was not guilty. If the jury did find him guilty, he would have served jailtime due to the fact that this was his 2nd dui charge.

His last words as he left the courtroom: "I know if I go out and have a social dinner, I’m taking a driver with me."

SMH. A damn shame how stupid a group of jurors can be.
