The legal dispute between reggaeton icon Daddy Yankee (Ramón Ayala Rodríguez) and his ex-wife, Mireddys González, escalated this week to a new stage with a lawsuit filed in the Federal Court of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Upon his arrival today at the Federal Court of Hato Rey, San Juan, for the initial hearing of his new case, Daddy Yankee expressed his hope that the trial "ends in God's peace" and firmly added:

"Let's go for it." The artist, accompanied by his lawyer, Víctor Acevedo Hernández, lamented that the dispute hadn't been resolved in a different way and affirmed that he has always been willing to engage in dialogue to reach an agreement.

According to the singer's defense, his ex-wife and then-sister-in-law allegedly accessed corporate information and deleted key data, allegedly in violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Stored Communications Act.

The artist filed a lawsuit for $12 million, arguing that González and his sister, Ayeicha González, accessed corporate communications without authorization and destroyed essential files—violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Stored Communications Act—which would have caused significant impacts on the operation of his companies El Cartel Records and Los Cangris.

Daddy Yankee sues his wife for mismanagement of business

In March 2025, Daddy Yankee had already filed an additional lawsuit against Mireddys and her sister for $250 million, accusing them of embezzlement, negligent management, and breaches of fiduciary duty. She claimed they withdrew funds without authorization and damaged the financial health of her businesses.

Previous attempts to control companies

Following the announcement of his divorce in December 2024, Daddy Yankee managed to regain administrative control of his corporations—El Cartel Records and Los Cangris—through an agreement that stipulated that any transaction over USD 100,000 required the approval of both parties.

In April 2025, the singer formally requested the court to dissolve several joint ventures. with González, including Green Wall Luxury, Crabby Cottage, and C & C Artistic Management. This, citing irreconcilable differences and mismanagement, especially in assets such as properties whose income was not disclosed.

Disputes over transparency and contempt

For its part, Mireddys presented a sworn management letter stating that it had complied with all the requested requirements. It reaffirmed that it remains a co-owner and that the transactions follow established legal procedures. However, Daddy Yankee accuses both women of contempt of court for refusing to resign from their administrative positions and provide full access to the information requested following the court settlement.
