Miami rapper Pitbull might heading to Alaska.
As a part of a marketing deal, Walmart will send Pitbull to the Alaskan store that gets the highest number of "likes" on its Facebook page.
As of now, Kodiak in Alaska is leading. A Boston Phoenix newspaper thought it would be a great idea to send Pitbull to the most remote Walmart. The plan seems to be working, the Kodiak Walmart had more than 35,000 "likes" which is more than five times the town's population.
Walmart spokeswoman Sarah Spencer told The Associated Press that other Walmart shoppers have until July 16 to like their local stores beat Kodiak.
"I know Pitbull is hoping his Miami Walmart shoppers start liking their Facebook page," she said.
The Miami location on the other hand just has 45 "likes" as of Monday.
"He's definitely coming to Kodiak if Kodiak wins," Spencer said.
It would be the rapper's first visit to Alaska. Pitbull, who is touring Europe, is reportedly very interested in this marketing idea.
"Wherever the fans want to have a party, I will be there," he said in an emailed statement sent from Austria.
Kodiak Island is about 225 miles southwest of Anchorage. It's has the nation's largest Coast Guard base, and the island is known for its Kodiak brown bear population.
Pitbull was also seen tweeting, "I hear there's bear repellent at Kodiak, Alaska."
