San Juan.- Puerto Rican urban artist Daddy Yankee said this Thursday that he hopes that “in the peace of God it ends” the lawsuit against his ex-wife, Mireddys González, and his ex-sister-in-law, Ayeisha González, for alleged destruction of files from his corporations El Cartel Records and Los Cangris, Inc.
"May it end in God's peace. Let's go on top," Daddy Yankee expressed upon his arrival today at the Federal Court of Hato Rey (San Juan), where the initial hearing of this new case is being held, which is part of the judicial dispute that began at the end of 2024. Accompanied by his legal representative in this hearing, lawyer Victor Acevedo Hernández, Daddy Yankee assured that he would have liked this situation to "be different" and that he has "always" been "at the service and open" to reaching an agreement. Daddy Yankee's lawyers allege that the ex-wife and then sister-in-law of the urban exponent violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Stored Communications Act by accessing and destroying corporate data without his authorization. Therefore, Daddy Yankee is asking for 12 million dollars, alleging that the González sisters accessed without authorization and deleted essential files related to the artist's career, including information from his tour 'La Última Vuelta' and the sale of his music catalog. For his part, Acevedo Hernández added that the objective of the case is to "vindicate the rights" of the corporations Los Cangris and El Cartel Records and to ask the court to order the defendants to "return four years of records that were deleted from the corporations' files." "Our position is that there is federal jurisdiction and it exists precisely for this purpose," the lawyer assured. The lawsuit alleges that the González sisters "sabotaged fundamental operations" by deleting communications related to the multimillion-dollar sale of Daddy Yankee's music catalog and his 'La Última Vuelta World Tour' tour, among others. According to Acevedo Hernández, these communications "were deleted during the time when they were no longer authorized to manage the corporations and in a period when they passed into the hands of Daddy Yankee."You may be interested in: Daddy Yankee sues his ex-wife for 12 million dollars
Meanwhile, Mireddys González's lawyer, Mayra López Mulero, asked her client not to make statements to the press upon her arrival at the court. "We are not going to make any comments and we have to respect the procedures. She is going to answer what I am going to ask her to answer," he emphasized. The dispute over the corporations began after the González sisters made transfers in December 2024 for the total sum of one hundred million dollars from the corporate bank accounts to personal accounts of each party, without the artist's knowledge or authorization. The couple's separation was confirmed on those dates and the divorce became official on February 19th, after almost 30 years of marriage and two children together. Since then, controversies in state courts have been frequent, and now they are reaching the federal forum.
