The song peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 18 countries.
This mixes up different charts. The Billboard Hot 100 is a U.S.-only chart, so a song cannot peak on the Billboard Hot 100 “in 18 countries.”
Full reasoning
This sentence is structurally false because the Billboard Hot 100 is not a multi-country chart.
Official Charts describes the Billboard Hot 100 as "the United States' main singles chart" and says it is compiled from sales, airplay and streams in the US. Billboard Canada likewise explains that the Hot 100 blends U.S. streaming, airplay and sales data.
So even if "Timber" reached No. 1 in many separate national charts, it could only peak on one Billboard Hot 100: the U.S. one. Saying it peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 "in 18 countries" is therefore incorrect.

ownership of the Trackhouse Racing NASCAR team
This is outdated: Pitbull no longer owns part of Trackhouse Racing. He announced on February 14, 2025 that he had ended his partnership with the team effective immediately.
Full reasoning
The article presents Trackhouse ownership as one of Pitbull's current ventures. But Pitbull publicly announced that he had ended that ownership relationship.
ESPN reported on February 14, 2025 that Pitbull had "ended his four-year NASCAR ownership in Trackhouse Racing," and quoted his statement: "We have made the decision to terminate the partnership with Trackhouse Racing, effective immediately."
Because the post uses present-tense wording ("other ventures include ... ownership of the Trackhouse Racing NASCAR team"), this claim is no longer accurate.
