What is known about the definitive agreement between Daddy Yankee and his ex-wife
After a legal dispute that last months, Daddy Yankee and his ex-wife, Mireddys Gonzalez. The singer will be able to continue freely using his brand
Ramon Luis Ayala Rodriguez, the iconic artist known as Daddy Yankee, and his ex-wife, Mireddys Gonzalez, reached an agreement regarding the use of their trademarks. The agreement, confirmed before the Federal Court of Hato Rey, resolves the conflict over the use and control of his professional brands, including his stage name.
The joint motion filed this Friday before Judge Maria Antongiorgi Jordan establishes that all claims in this legal action have been resolved. Thanks to this agreement, the "Gasolina" singer will be able to continue freely using his registered trademarks, which include "Daddy Yankee" and "DY," which he had used even after announcing his retirement from music.
As a key part of the agreement, Gonzalez formally agrees to "not take any measures intended to limit, affect, or prevent" Ayala Rodriguez from using these trademarks.
The document also expressly prohibits him from disparaging, diluting the value, or registering similar names that could create confusion and harm the artist's commercial assets.
The judge will be in charge of issuing a final and unappealable judgment that incorporates the terms of this agreement, also maintaining the jurisdiction of the court to guarantee its compliance in the future.
The closing of a complex legal chapter
This agreement marks the closing of an intense chapter in the business and family dispute between the artist and his ex-wife. The controversy had previously escalated when, last August, a judge ordered Gonzalez to hand over electronic devices containing emails and files from the record label El Cartel Records, after detecting the deletion of relevant information.
Daddy Yankee's original lawsuit not only involved his ex-wife, but also his former sister-in-law, Ayeicha Gonzalez, for the alleged destruction of corporate files and for bank unauthorized transfers that, according to court documents, would have amounted to 100 million dollars.
With this agreement, the couple,who officially divorced in February 2025 after nearly 30 years of marriage and two children together, puts a legal end to one of the most high-profile battles in the world of urban music.
