Pitbull heading north to Walmart in Kodiak, Alaska

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — It's not exactly "International Love," but Miami rap star Pitbull is about to bring his act to a nonetheless far-flung site — Kodiak, Alaska.

The unlikely tour stop announced Tuesday will mark the first time the chart-topper will visit the state known as The Last Frontier, and it comes as a result of a marketing deal and perhaps a little mischief.

Pitbull, aka Armando Christian Perez, in a promotion with Walmart and Sheets Energy Strips, agreed to visit whichever Walmart got the most "likes" on its Facebook page.
