Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Daddy Yankee has repented as he is set to preach the word of God to the world after 18,000 crowd attended his concert.
Despite traveling the world, winning awards and being praised by fans worldwide, a part of him felt unfulfilled for a long time, he told a cheering crowd of more than 18,000 people at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico. “I have to confess that those days are over. Someone was able to fill that emptiness,” he said.
Despite wearing stylish sunglasses onstage, the tears streaming down his face were visible to the thousands of fans around the world who watched him closely via livestream.
In his message, Daddy Yankee cited this Bible verse in Spanish: “What good will it be for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?”
“My favorite singer, the best of all, how great,” said another.
“Now I admire you more! If before you were an example for many, now you will be the true example!” said a third.
Daddy Yankee now joins a list of other artists who have left the stage to pursue a life devoted to the Christian faith.
Daddy Yankee is officially retiring from reggaeton to devote his life to his religious faith, the rapper said after ending his farewell tour, La Meta (The Goal), Sunday night in his homeland Puerto Rico.
The 46-year-old singer made the announcement in a lengthy speech following a larger-than-life performance of his global hit “Gasolina,” a song that marked the beginning of the globalization of reggaeton and catapulted him into mainstream success back in 2004.
“To all the people who followed me, follow Jesus Christ, he is the way, the truth and the life,” he added before dozens of drones at the concert venue lit up the sky with the message “Jesus loves you.”
Other fellow artists like Luis Fonsi, who collaborated with Daddy Yankee on the hit song “Despacito,” praised him for his decision.
“I owe you a lot bro, a lot! Enjoy this well-deserved break, we will continue to enjoy and celebrate your music ALWAYS,” said Fonsi on X, formerly Twitter.
