Daddy Yankee will give up reggaeton to follow Jesus full-time

The rapper from Puerto Rico appears to have made the decision to give up reggaeton music in order to follow Jesus.

On December 3, he gave a speech announcing his decision to leave the music industry and embarked on his farewell tour, La Meta (The Goal), in his native nation.

This is the most important day of my life. Yankee added in Spanish on stage, I want to share it with everybody out there. I have to admit, those are the times now.


Because of this, he said that I realized tonight that Jesus lives in me, and I will always live for him. And I'm not afraid to tell the whole world about it.

Thank you to everyone who supported me and I hope they will support me in this new journey as well. Then he disclosed that he would be using Ramón Ayala, which is his birth name.

Then a light show over the yelling fans' arena displayed a cross and the Spanish phrase "Cristo viene," which translates to "Christ will come."

With his 2004 party smash "Gasolina," Yankee made his musical debut. He later gained more popularity on the song "Despacito."
