Daddy Yankee files massive lawsuit against his ex-wife
The Puerto Rican musician and his wife were together for 30 years before they called it quits in late 2024.
Daddy Yankee is reportedly suing his ex-wife, Mireddys González, for $250 million.
The reggaetón star, who is known for hits such as 'Despacito' with Luis Fonsi, has also included her sister, Ayeicha González Castellanos, in the lawsuit.
According to the LA Times, Daddy Yankee, whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, is suing the sisters for business damages.
The lawsuit, which was filed in a Puerto Rican court, is against two of his companies, Los Cangris Inc. and El Cartel Records.
He has accused his ex-wife and her sister of "breaches of fiduciary duties and of contract".
The lawsuit claims that the sisters obtained $100 million from the corporate bank accounts of two of Yankee’s businesses, Los Cangris Inc. and El Cartel Records, in what is perceived as an attempt to liquidate assets before being forced to hand them over by a court order.
Daddy Yankee's lawsuit also accuses the sisters of deleting emails, making financially irresponsible decisions and "wrongfully" alienating him among other things.
Billboard reports that his ex-wife previously worked as a CEO while her sister was the secretary/treasurer.
“Mireddys and Ayeicha González Castellanos proceeded to concentrate in themselves a greater power than authorized and, together, made negligent and selfish decisions that were detrimental to both the companies and [Yankee] in his personal capacity and as an artist," the LA Times quotes the lawsuit.
