Daddy Yankee Reemerges Two Years After Retirement: “Destined to Return”
After almost two years of retirement, Daddy Yankee has made a significant return during the Billboard Latin Music Week 2025. This event marks a pivotal moment in his artistic and personal journey.
Daddy Yankee’s New Mission
The reggaeton legend, who now identifies with a renewed Christian faith, has unveiled his mission to “preach the Gospel” through his music. During his presentation on October 22, he expressed, “I feel reborn, with new energy, and I’m extremely happy with the changes in my life and faith.”
Upcoming Album: ‘Lamento en Baile’
Accompanying his return is a new album titled ‘Lamento en Baile,’ referencing a Psalm from the Bible. Despite the spiritual shift, Daddy Yankee assures fans that the album will retain “the same power, flavor, and flow.”
- Album Title: Lamento en Baile
- Release Date: Upcoming (specific date not provided)
- Musical Genre: Urban Christian Music
He added, “We have everything in the album, and people are saying, ‘Wow, we didn’t know urban music could be Christian.’”
Divine Message as Motivation
Regarding his unexpected return, Daddy Yankee stated that a “message from God” prompted him to come back. He shared, “Everyone has a purpose in life. Mine was this path where I thought I would be gone forever, but God said, ‘No, I want you back, where you came from, to announce the message of where I brought you from.’”
Legal Resolution with Ex-Wife
In addition to his musical comeback, Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez (Daddy Yankee) recently resolved a legal dispute with his ex-wife, Mireddys González. This issue revolved around the use of their registered trademarks, including ‘Daddy Yankee’ and ‘DY.’
A joint motion submitted to the Federal Court in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, detailed a definitive agreement allowing the artist to freely use his stage names and commercial brands.
Daddy Yankee’s reemergence signifies not only a return to music but also a commitment to a new chapter in his life, aligning his career with his newfound convictions.
