Welcome to the grand finale of our Daddy Yankee journey! We cannot talk about the king of reggaeton without mentioning the song that changed the scene forever: Despacito. Its success cemented Daddy Yankee’s spot in the pantheon of musical legends. Finally, come with us as we explore his more recent years, including his early retirement. Whatever the future holds, Daddy Yankee has consistently spread the light of reggaeton far and wide—allowing generations of Latin artists to stand in that light.
