About Daddy Yankee

Daddy Yankee was the person who coined a new music genre with the word Reggaeton in 1994.
However, music wasn’t his first and foremost choice when it comes to career and profession. He always had his heart on becoming a professional baseball player.
But something unusual happened and his every aspiration of becoming a baseball player came to an end and a new ambition took place.
He was shot by a stray round of an AK-47 rifle when he was coming back from recording sessions with Reggaeton artist DJ Playero.
Even today, he still carries the bullet on his hip and says thanks to that shooting day which showed him a fortunate path toward the music industry.
Even though Daddy Yankee has contributed numerous smash-hit songs, his evergreen hit song will always remain ‘Despacito’ which became the first Spanish language song that peaked number 1 on Billboard Hot 100.
This particular song managed to accumulate billions of views on the YouTube platform in April 2017 which also became the most-watched video on YouTube. Following this one song, his whole musical career transformed drastically.
