Dale, meet Dolly!
As its title suggests,Pitbull’s latest song “Powerful Women” is an ode to all the powerful ladies out there, and — fittingly — it features a sample from country powerhouseDolly Parton.
The track samples perhaps Parton’s most famous track, “9 to 5,” which Pitbull, 43, raps over, honoring single moms, working women and other powerful ladies.
In honor of the collaboration, which was released last month, the two artists met up in Nashville, and Pitbull shared aphotoof their meeting on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.
In avideofrom his Raleigh, N.C., concert on Thursday, the Grammy winner recalled the artists’ encounter, telling fans, “This morning I had the pleasure, the honor, to be able to meet the one the only and the living legend, Dolly Parton.”
“Clearly, she’s Dolly, and I’m Dale,” he joked. “And she’s the real deal.”
