Daddy Yankee it’s over pouring gasoline on Latin rap! THE Puerto Rican artist apparently announced his retirement from reggaeton during a recent concert.
He revealed that he had given his life to Christ and wants his next chapter to be about spreading the word of God.
In the concert footage, Daddy Yankee spoke to an enthusiastic crowd in Puerto Rico. He admits to feeling a void for a long time and trying to fill it. He also realized that he had been someone to everyone, but without God he was nothing.
“I was able to travel the world for years, winning many awards and applause, but I realized something that the Bible says,” Daddy Yankee explained in Spanish. “What is the whole world worth to a man if he loses his soul? »
Yankee said he recognizes – without any shame – that Jesus lives in him.
“…Jesus lives in me and I will live for him,” said the artist. “The Bible says that whoever publicly embraces God here on Earth will also acknowledge him before the Lord. »

Added quote:
“For what good is it for a man to gain the whole world if he loses his life? Or how much can a man pay for his life? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father and with his angels, and then he will reward everyone according to what he has done. Saint Matthew 16: 26 – 27 Amen.
