Renowned reggaeton Artist Daddy Yankee is retiring from music to serve God, after closing his farewell tour.
The musician announced that he's devoting his life to Jesus Christ during his last concert of his farewell tour, La Meta, in Puerto Rico over the weekend.
On Instagram, the reggaeton singer said that a part of him felt empty and had been trying to fill a void in his life for a long time that no one could fill.
"I have to confess that those days are over. Someone was able to fill that emptiness," he said. "Tonight I recognize, and I am not ashamed to tell the whole world, that Jesus lives in me and that I will live for him."
In his message, Daddy Yankee, who will now go by his birth name Ramón Ayala, cited a Bible verse in Spanish.
"I was able to travel the world for years winning many awards, applause and praise, but I realized something that the Bible says, 'what good is it for a man to gain the whole world if he forfeits his soul?'
"One story is over and a new story is going to begin, a new beginning," the Puerto Rican singer continued, at times seen holding back tears. "All the tools that I have in my possession, such as music, social networks, platforms, a microphone, everything that Jesus gave me, is now for his kingdom."
