Reflecting on the emotional night, Daddy Yankee expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support of his fans throughout the years. He said, “I am truly humbled by the love and admiration I have received from my fans around the world. This farewell tour has been an opportunity for me to connect with them on a deeper level and say thank you for being by my side throughout my career.”
Wrapping up his last concert, the icon expressed: “This day for me is the most important day of my life and I want to share it with you because living a life of success is not the same as living a life with purpose… A story is over and a new story is about to begin; a new beginning. All the tools that was given to me, such as music, social media, platforms, a microphone, everything that Jesus gave me, is now for the Kingdom. Thank you so much Puerto Rico and I hope that you walk with me on this new beginning… I love you Puerto Rico. We reached the goal.” Listen to the full message HERE.
