Daddy Yankee retires from reggaeton, devotes life to Christ
Daddy Yankee, 46, has retired from reggaeton and will now devote his life to his faith. The singer made the announcement during the final show of his farewell tour, La Meta (The Goal), which took place at The Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sunday.
“My people, this day for me is the most important day of my life. And I want to share it with you because living a life of success is not the same as living a life with purpose,” he told the audience as he held back tears.
Due to the sold-out event, fans were also able to watch a live stream of the performance. La Meta is a part of his La Ultima Vuelta (The Last Round) tour.
The singer, born Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, burst onto the scene with his single “Gasolina” in 2004. The global hit brought Reggaeton worldwide and the Puerto Rican rapper and singer into the mainstream. From that success, he was named the King of Reggaeton, however, he said all that success didn’t fulfill him.
“For many years I’ve tried filling a void in my life that no one could fill. I tried finding a purpose, on many occasions, it seemed as if I was happy but something was missing for me to feel complete,” Rodríguez explained. “I have to confess that those days are over and someone was able to fill that void that I felt for a lot of time.”
Rodríguez was also featured in the 2017 smash hit “Despacito” alongside Luis Fonsi. He then explained to the audience that he made a major realization and it leaned him further into his faith. The singer has sold 30 million records worldwide and is one of the best-selling Latin music artists ever.
