Daddy Yankee files $250m lawsuit against ex-wife and sister-in-law for fraud and defamation
Daddy Yankee has taken legal action against his ex-wife, Mireddys González, and her sister, Ayeicha Gonzalez Castellanos, filing a $250 million lawsuit that accuses them of financial mismanagement and defamation.
The legal battle marks a dramatic turn in the former couple's nearly three-decade-long relationship, which had long been seen as one of reggaeton's most stable marriages.
The Puerto Rican superstar, whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, alleges that González and her sister mishandled two of his business ventures, causing him significant financial losses.
According to court documents, 'Mireddys and Ayeicha Gonzalez Castellanos continued to assume greater power than was permitted and together made reckless and selfish decisions that were detrimental to both the companies and Mr. Ayala Rodriguez (Daddy Yankee).'
Beyond financial mismanagement, the lawsuit also claims that the two orchestrated a campaign to damage Daddy Yankee's reputation, adding further tension to an already bitter split.
Following news of the lawsuit, González, a well-known entrepreneur and the mother of two of Daddy Yankee's children, took to social media with cryptic posts. Without directly addressing the allegations, she shared biblical quotes and messages that hinted at her perspective on the situation.
One post read, 'Stop having empathy for people who treat you badly,' while another stated, 'Emotional attachment is a prison for the soul; it makes you see virtues that do not exist and hopes where there are none.'
The former couple officially finalized their divorce on February 18 in a virtual court session, avoiding a face-to-face confrontation. Daddy Yankee and González had been married since 1995, long before he became a global sensation with his breakthrough hit 'Gasolina.' Their marriage was often viewed as a strong partnership, with González frequently managing aspects of his business ventures.
However, this lawsuit paints a starkly different picture, exposing deep conflicts and allegations that could redefine the narrative of their decades-long relationship.

Bad Bunny to embark on Debí Tirar Más Fotos world tour, no US dates announced bad bunny met gala 2025
Bad Bunny has officially announced his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, confirming dates across Latin America, Europe, Australia and Japan. The Puerto Rican artist's global tour will begin in November 2025 and continue through July 2026, taking his chart-topping album to stadiums worldwide. However, there is one notable absence from the schedule: no dates have been announced for the United States. The announcement followed a viral social media campaign in which the artist teased fans by posting images of plastic chairs outside stadiums across Latin America. Now confirmed, the tour includes stops in major cities including Santo Domingo, Mexico City, Medellín, Lima, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Sydney, Tokyo, Barcelona, London, Paris, and Milan, concluding in Brussels. While fans are excited about the international dates, many in the U.S. expressed disappointment as the initial schedule omits any American cities. Despite this, speculation has already begun online that U.S. dates may be added in a second leg of the tour. Bad Bunny's previous tours have included major U.S. cities and sold out large venues quickly, making it likely that additional shows could be announced at a later date. This 2025–2026 tour marks Bad Bunnt's return to international stages after the Most Wanted Tour and his historic Puerto Rico residency, which is expected to draw 250,000 attendees this summer. Tickets for the world tour go on sale Friday, May 9.
