Rapper Pitbull helped place the last triangular segment that makes up the giant ball which will tower over New York’s famous square as crowds ring in the new year.

In just a few days, the ball in Times Square will drop. On Friday, rapper Pitbull helped install some of the final crystal triangles on the iconic ball.

The celebrations at Times Square in New York City will kick off in less than a week, with star-studded performances and an exciting countdown.
