Daddy Yankeeone of the main figures in reggaeton worldwide, announced his retirement from music and the end of your artistic career to take a new path in your life: He will dedicate himself to evangelical preaching.
“My people, this day for me is the most important day of my life and I want to share it with you, because Living a successful life is not the same as living a purposeful life.“said the artist.
In that sense he continued: “For a long time I tried to fill a void in my life that no one could fill.; I was trying of fill and search for meaning in my life. Sometimes I appeared to be very happy, but something was missing to make me complete, and I have to confess that those days are over. Someone was able to fill that void that I felt for a long time, I was able to realize that for everyone I was someone, but I was nothing without him“.
Finally, he thanked and highlighted everything he experienced throughout his musical career and reaffirmed his decision to take another path: “I was able to travel the world, win many awards, applause and praise, but I realized something that the Bible says : What good is it to a man to gain the whole world if he loses his soul?that is why tonight I recognize and I do not regret telling the whole world that Jesus lives in me and I will live for him“, concluded Daddy Yankee, before a full stadium that congratulated him on his decision.
Daddy Yankee asked to be called by another name: “A new story is going to begin”
After explaining his decision, he asked to be called something else: “Now the one who knows me by Daddy Yankee that says, ‘‘Daddy Yankee in Christ, Raymond Ayala in Puerto Rico’. A story is over and a new story is going to begin, a new beginning. All the tools that I have in my possession, such as music, social networks, platforms, a microphone, everything that Jesus gave me is now for the kingdom“.
“Thank you very much Puerto Rico and I hope that you walk with me in this new beginning and I hope that something very important is recorded in you: Do not follow any man. I am a human; All the people who followed me, follow Jesus Christ, for he is the way, the truth and the life. Christ loves you and Christ is coming. Likewise Jesus, as you allowed me, by your mercy, to travel the world, so You allow me from Puerto Rico to evangelize the world“, he expressed.
