A music empire built over two decades has crumbled in spectacular fashion as reggaetón legend Daddy Yankee faces what legal experts describe as one of the most brazen corporate betrayal cases in entertainment history.
The “Gasolina” hitmaker filed explosive federal charges in Puerto Rico, alleging his ex-wife Mireddys González and her sister Ayeicha González engaged in systematic evidence destruction while attempting to siphon $100 million from his business accounts. The revelations forced Yankee to permanently shutter El Cartel Records, the label that launched his global career in 2003.
