Daddy Yankee accuses estranged wife of withdrawing $80M, files legal injunction

Daddy Yankee claims his estranged wife withdrew $80 million without authorization and seeks legal intervention.

Daddy Yankee has filed a legal injunction against his estranged wife, Mireddys González, accusing her of unauthorized withdrawal of $80 million from his El Cartel Records bank account. 

Court documents obtained by Billboard reveal the Puerto Rican rapper, whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, filed the motion on Dec. 12 in San Juan.

The injunction also names González’s sister, Ayeicha González Castellanos, who serves as secretary/treasurer of El Cartel Records, the label Daddy Yankee founded. The filing alleges that González, CEO of the company, and her sister exceeded their authority in managing operations, leading to financial negligence.

According to the filing, Daddy Yankee, 47, claims he lacks access to the company's financial records and revenues despite being its primary shareholder. The Gasolina singer also accuses González of hiring a third party to represent the company in selling parts of his music catalog to Concord, a deal he alleges was undervalued and executed without his full knowledge.

The injunction seeks the immediate removal of González and her sister from all managerial roles at El Cartel Records and demands access to withheld corporate documentation.

On Dec. 2, Daddy Yankee confirmed his split from González after nearly 30 years of marriage. He shared the news on Instagram, stating, “This is not an easy time, but I understand it is part of my life process.” The former couple, who married in 1995, share two children, Jesaaelys, 28, and Jeremy, 26.
