Daddy Yankee, his wife Mireddys González, and his sister-in-law Ayeicha González Castellano have come to an agreement. After the news of the Puerto Rican icon suing his wife and her sister came out, the parties settled an agreement today (Dec. 20).
In early December, DY announced his divorce from his wife, Mireddys. Later that same month, it was revealed he was suing her and her sister for unauthorized transactions. The sisters allegedly tried to withdraw a total of $100 million from his business accounts El Cartel Records and El Cangris without his consent, resulting in him taking legal action. The lawsuit detailed that they had already been removed from their administrative roles when this allegedly occurred.
Although the transactions were unsuccessful, the lawsuit detailed that Daddy Yankee wanted the Honorable Tribunal to issue an order asking Mireddys and Ayeicha to refrain in any way from making decisions and making “disbursements, drawing or disposing” in any way of rights, patrimony assets, or resources from companies without Ramón L. Ayala Rodríguez’s – Daddy Yankee’s real name – participation and approval.
Today (Dec. 20), the court hearing took place at the Judicial Center San Juan in San Juan, Puerto Rico. As part of the reported agreement, Daddy Yankee will now resume the presidency of both El Cartel Records and El Cangris. Both parties are set to meet on Dec. 26 at 11 a.m. to make this change.
According to El Nuevo Día, the settlement also highlights that $75 million is “untouchable” in both corporations for 30 days. It also states that the remainder of the money is held in escrow, and both parties should be aware of all transactions. Moreover, transactions over $100,000 must be authorized by both parties. The aforementioned outlet also revealed that DY will also issue monthly reports as part of both corporations’ presidential duties.
“This process, I have carried it with a lot of peace, a lot of tranquility, a lot of semblance. Obviously, the interpretations that were made public about what happened are not mine,” DY told the press in Spanish after the hearing. “I have always respected Mrs. González. I ask you with much gentleness to respect her.”
Mireddys chose not to talk to the press about the situation.
