Daddy Yankee is giving up music to devote his life to religion.
Known for hits like “Gasolina” and “Despacito”, the 46-year-old entertainer revealed the news to fans at the final show of his La Última Vuelta (Last Lap) world tour.
He told the crowd, “Living a successful life is not the same as living a life with purpose. For a long time, I tried to fill an emptiness… that nobody could fill. That’s why tonight I recognised and am unashamed to tell the world that Jesus lives in me and that I will live for him.”
After releasing his first solo record in 1995, Daddy Yankee became the best-selling Latin artist of the 2000s.
He has since collaborated with everyone from Justin Bieber to Snoop Dogg, Janet Jackson and the Jonas Brothers.
