Daddy Yankee, the renowned Puerto Rican singer and reggaeton artist, has announced his decision to bid farewell to the world of reggaeton music and shift his focus toward his Christian faith.
The influential artist, known for hit songs like “Gasolina” and “Despacito,” expressed his desire to devote his life to spiritual matters and spread the message of his newfound beliefs.
While his decision may surprise some fans and industry insiders, Daddy Yankee’s transition highlights his commitment to personal growth and finding meaning beyond fame and fortune.
In a video message shared via his Instagram page, The King Of Reggaeton said;
“I am not ashamed to tell the whole world that Jesus lives in me and that I will live for him,” he said in Spanish, in remarks translated by Variety.
“For many years I’ve tried filling a hole 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.”
“All the tools that I have in my possession such as music, social networks, platforms, a microphone — everything that Jesus gave me — is now for his kingdom,” he said. “Thank you very much, Puerto Rico, and I hope that you walk with me in this new beginning.”
As Daddy Yankee leaves reggaeton to embark on this new chapter, the artiste addressed his followers saying;
“To all the people who followed me, follow Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life. Just like Jesus, with his mercy, allowed me to travel the world, in your mercy, Father, I hope you allow me to evangelize the world from Puerto Rico. Amen.”
As the artist bids farewell to reggaeton, his decision offers inspiration and encourages others to pursue their own paths of self-discovery and spiritual fulfillment.
