This July 25, Daddy Yankee’s farewell tour officially begins. And among the messages of support in this last tour of the stage, producer Raphy Pina sent him an emotional message from prison.
“Letter to the godfather: Today July 25 officially begins your tour to say goodbye to the stage and music. I want to leave you a few words. THANKS to technology they will reach the whole world. Words that will not be enough to thank you on behalf of myself, my family and, I am sure, on behalf of the genre which you nicknamed “REGGAETON”. Thank you for the more than 30 years you did for them to take us seriously. Today, the entire industry is participating in that sacrifice, including in all the songs, whatever the genre, that sound that came out of the suburbs and that “was going to be temporary”. Thank you for representing ???????? in a healthy and responsible way. Thank you for help all of us who live in this genre.
Thank you for making them look at us with respect. Thank you for making this genre grow with talented young people who will continue to say everywhere; ‘DY is not a singer, Daddy Yankee is a movement’. Being within your privileged circle, I know that it is a REAL farewell AND MANY will enjoy it in all the countries that you will present with over 90 concerts. From here, I will feel the most glorious farewell of an artist I met in 1995 and despite all the situations, all the setbacks, discussions, disagreements, we grew up and became more than friends or partners, we became a family. I will take the satisfaction that I could have had problems with many, that many may feel that they left me alone, but they were wrong, they gave me the necessary space to finish the CYCLE in VICTORY with THE BEST OF ALL TIME$. With the Godfather because on my WEDDING day I will have the privilege of even singing a song with you HEHEHE ( NATALIA CHOOSE WHICH ONE ) And after that we go to Monaco with Lgendaddy and Pinarazzi $IO $I . I love you brother, thank you for never letting us go, that will take me another 2900 words that I will tell you soon. Now go to www.daddyyankee.com and see where it will be presented and check if there are any last minute open spaces. I’m still working to see if we open some additional chairs so that those who were left out can fire him with the BEST OF CONCERTS ???????? #LAULTIMAVUELTA #graciasdaddyyankee”, he published on his Instagram account.
Pina is serving a sentence at the FCI Butner Medium II medium-security federal prison in North Carolina.
Daddy Yankee performs tonight at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.
