UPDATE: Daddy Yankee to Perform for McCain, Fat Joe Calls DY a “Sell-Out”

As if his endorsement of John McCain weren’t enough! Apparently, Daddy Yankee wants to make it clear that his support of the Republican presidential candidate goes far beyond a few photo shoots and public appearance.

The singer has now committed to perform at the Fiesta Americana Concert as part of next week’s Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

I’m sure performing for a stadium full of 3,000 suit-and-tie Republicans is the ideal audience for some reggaeton. I bet that fiesta is going to get hot!

Daddy Yankee has been getting busted on left and right for his support of the Arizona senator. It seems that a lot of people just don’t see the link between reggaetoneros and 72-year-old white men.

Most recently, fellow performer Fat Joe put Daddy Yankee on blast for his politics, saying to MTV News:

“I opened the newspaper and got sick to my stomach. I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that. The reason why I called him a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We’re fighting an unjust war. It’s the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war. … We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war. If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he’ll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he’s just not educated on politics.”

Now, I don’t know how educated Fat Joe is on politics either, but at least he hit on some valid points!

  1. Realmatic

    Joe needs to stfu and make a hit. He doesn’t know anything about politics himself. Be a man and talk to DY before you speak on what he’s doing. McCain co-sponsored that immigration bill last year and has pushed for immigration. STFU Joe. Stop speaking on another man’s actions if they don’t concern you.

  2. Pagi

    I agree he did some valid points. He is informed. I don’t know if Daddy Yankee knows what he is really getting himself into. I am kinda looking forward to him Performing in front of a bunch of conservative Republicans to see that reaction. Which song will he do? I don’t think he is a sell-out, but he needs to educate himself more on the candidate and what their party stands for.

  3. Pagi

    correction: he did hit some valid points.


  4. Daddy Yankee is a sell out loser!

  5. Kayla

    Yo!! My people PLEASE stop embarrassing ourselves! For Gods sake, do he not see the beyond terrible job McCains homeboys have done to this country? No matter what little gripes one may have with Obama, don’t people see that the VERY LEAST that man is doing is opening the sealed-shut doors for future people of all colors to run for president? I don’t see any possible way that Obama could possibly do any worse of a job than our current administration. Daddy Yankee is a sellout. plain and simple and I for one will completely end my support for his punk ass immediately. SUPPORT OUR BLACK BROTHER AND HOPEFULLY ONE DAY SOON WE WILL BE WATCHING A LATINO ACCEPTING THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION!!!!!!

  6. juana

    Yea i agree Daddy yankee is a sellout and Im speaking as a latina who is in medical school and trying to make a difference for her family hes just a shame

  7. Tracey

    Who is the biggest celebrity now, McCain must be getting desperate, he must have went way deep for that turn up LOL

  8. goldie pyramid

    I liked daddy yankee up until this…but either way ive always been more of a fat joe fan. Anyway, Mccain has said some fugged up things about barack obama in his personal endorsement tv campaigns….he hits below the belt way too often, very UNPROFESSIONAL!
    I realize politics are politics but there should be some guidelines for slander. I cant BELIEVE through all the struggles “MINORITIES” have endured…that he would not be more conscious of the BRIBERY that whites will goto to “win”.

  9. dee

    he is a sell-out,is he even allowed to vote in this country-you’ll might want to check that out before the polls in November


  10. I lUV it, Fat Joe got on his a*s.

    I’m not a Daddy Yankee fan (he’s funny lookin’ to me) but I felt like it was a publicity stunt too when i saw him “getting involved”.

    he probably couldn’t jump on the Obama waggon (too full) so he had to go with McCain.

    The worst part is, he probably doesn’t know what either candidate stands for…

  11. me

    funny how you think joe knows what the hell he’s talking about.. does he have a clue what an ARM loan is.. introduced under democratic rule… well if not than he should get informed.. the ARM loan is what is causing everyone to lose their home.. not republicans.. what a fucking idiot..

  12. K.JONES

    EVERY CD THAT I OWN OF DADDY YANKEE IS NOW IN THE GARBAGE. HE GOT MY MONEY BUT NO MORE…..HIGHLY DISSAPOINTED. WHAT A JOKE AND A IDIOT. THOSE CRACKER ASS REPUBLICANS DONT’ GIVE A F*CK ABOUT HIS NI**ER ASS.

  13. Me too

    Uh me…. it’s not only “ARM”s that got people into this mortgage crisis. It was mainly sub-prime lenders extending loans to those who could not afford homes.

  14. Belle

    It’s Daddy Yankee’s right to do what he wants in choosing who in believes is the best future President. This is the United States where many have fought for us to have this right and decison. No one has no right to put Daddy Yankee(Fat Joe)on blast.

    No one puts Fat Joe on blast for his! And that is to say who says Obama is any better? And to be honest I am an openly Democrate yet I am not voting for Obama. Instead I am going for McCain myself. And I find it funny McCain picked a woman for his running mate.

    Now Fat Joe can have his opinion but what is he really doing to help his community? Yankee is showing it’s okay to vote to his people while instead Fat Joe is yelling on who they should vote for. That tells people not to vote because of people like him. Instead he could help his community in obesity and how to correct the situation because as we all can see we can learn from as he is an example!

  15. fat joes right

    fuck daddy yankee dumb ignorant ass

    fat joe 100% correct

  16. DR Latino

    IDIOTS!!!!! PUERTO RICANS CAN’T VOTE!!!!!!! DY is a native PUERTO RICAN helloo!!!! Fat Joe is an American being that he was born in NYC and CAN vote…. any questions????? It is soooo clear this is a ploy to take advantage of Latin ignorance cause all we giva afuck about is Novelas and bullshit!!!!

  17. El Gato

    It’s Daddy Yankee’s right to do what he wants in choosing who in believes is the best future President. This is the United States where many have fought for us to have this right and decison. No one has no right to put Daddy Yankee(Fat Joe)on blast.

    No one puts Fat Joe on blast for his! And that is to say who says Obama is any better? And to be honest I am an openly Democrat yet I am not voting for Obama. Instead I am going for McCain myself. And I find it funny McCain picked a woman for his running mate.
    Are you serious? McCain made a “gimmick”pick to try to score points with women because he thinks women are stupid enough to be fooled by this. His record of voting in the senate has been anti-woman for YEARS and that is info you can look up for yourself. I don’t think much of Fat Joe or Daddy Yankee but in this election,the choice is clear for most young people in this country and is sure as hell is not some 72 year old,war-mongering,millionaire whit dude who has been down with GW Bush and his crew since day one!

  18. LaBori

    To Belle- you are “openly Democrat” and you are voting for McCain??? Are you sure you didn’t mean that you are openly demented? smh

  19. its the Foosa

    Dems should look into Daddy Yankee’s background and see what dirt they can find on him and link it to John McCain in the same way Fox news tried to link Ludacris’ lyrics to Obama…

    Daddy Yankee, i hope your sh@t dont stink.

  20. SmarterThanYou

    To Belle:

    Yea, you’re a really informed citizen. Any idiot who knows about politics knows that it’s a dumbass move to vote for a republican just because you “don’t like” Barack Obama. I would ask you this: Why don’t you like Barack Obama? Are you too shallow to really explore your deep seated racism? Now, I’m not calling you a racist - since everybody runs from that like the plague. I’m saying, that there are alot of people, Latino and non-Latino, who are out poppin off at the lip talking about that they won’t vote for Obama - yet don’t really know why. You’d just rather vote for what you’ve been told your whole life is the right way - white. You’ve been told that African Americans are no good - and now you’re reflecting that on Barack Obama.

    People like you are going to be reason for this country’s downfall if McCain wins. Ignorante.

    You think John McCain gives a shit about Latinos? Of course he knows is a huge vote he wants for him and not Obama - and he’s using Latin America’s deep roots of hidden racism to take votes from Obama. Wake up and smell the frijoles mi hija, you’re wrong and misguided.

    Putting what Fat Joe said aside - I couldn’t care less. The real point here is that if you were really an open, informed democrat - you would notice that McCain stands against most of your ideals as a “Democrat”

    And what’s so funny about him picking a woman? oh you mean that fact that he’s voted against bills to get women equal pay, and bills against helpful welfare policies for single mothers? Yea, hilarious. It’s not about telling ppl who to vote for, it’s about asking ppl to make educated choices for the benefit of all our people - not because of race or money.

    Informate buena ignorante.

  21. Kari

    Daddy Yankee is McCain’s b*tch.

  22. Ladylove48 (obama4president)

    @ Belle

    your a disgrace!
    to the democrats
    to the american people
    and latinos!

    Are YOU not educated? Have you not read the facts on McCain? Do you really believe that electing him as president is NOT another Bush term? Do you want people to keep losing their jobs? You don’t want hard working people to have health insurance? You don’t want are economy back up? You don’t want college tuition to go down? You don’t want tax cuts? You don’t want our troops to come back home from war? Veterans taken care of?

    Why exactly are you voting for McCain?
    What will he do to better this country?
    I only hear of what he will NOT do for this country. I never hear him say “This will change…”
    or “We will make progress…”
    He think our economy has made progress. He thinks that right now, our economy is okay.

    Wow, really. What do you people need to see that in order to progress we need to keep McCain out of office?

    and about Daddy Yankee, he’s a damn fool-falling for some sorrow stories McCain told him about him seeing Latinos die at war.

    Do you think McCain gives a damn if so many Latinos do not have citizenship or a license?

    SMH.

    That’s my two cents.
    May god be with America.

  23. ET

    FatJoe needs to STFU; one of the problems with this country is that everything is someone else’s fault. Yeah, Joe all the mortage brokers and lenders were republicans. No innocent homeowners lied on the applications or bought a house they couldn’t afford! Just because someone thinks politically different than you doesn’t make them any less. Hell, he probably knows more about policy than you.


  24. Belle,

    Is it going to hurt you that much to vote for a Black man?

  25. Tanya

    I agree…It sounds like a publicity stunt to me. Do you really think the McCain camp went to DY and said “would you please honor us with your endorsement?” No! He did that to get a rise out of folks. He probably doesn’t believe in McCain underneath it all. But it makes for good TV.

    McCain needs the hispanic vote and the woman vote and he’ll do anything to get it. Like chose a VP just because she is a woman to try and steal the Hillary vote.

  26. Venus

    Daddy Yankee is a sell-out and an idiot. Frankly, I think Belle is too.

  27. lucky

    for the one, I agree why vote for a man that has the same view points as bush. we need a change and obama is the change we so need. And to you Belle, how are ypu a democrate that is voting for a person with opposite view points. to be honest your only voting for Mccain because obama is black.

  28. Kenny

    This is the problem, alot of hispanics think that whites care about them when in fact they see only brown as usual. Daddy Yankee is a sell out, I watched him appear with McCain on T.v and the only reason why Daddy Yankee is supporting him is because of McCain’s immigration plan, thats what he said. Many hispanics dont like blacks, there are always tension so I think this is the only reason why hispanics are voting for McCain.
    im not trying to offend anyone, Im just trying to get my point across.

  29. Kenny

    Whoever is voting for McCain is an idiot, especially if they are minority. This man has the same stance as Bush, and all hispanics can think about is immigration, in which people should be here legally……we can’t go over to Mexico or any other country and just sneak in, work, not pay taxes, and take over cities. Come on! McCain will lead our country into the ground just like Bush…..people should be ashamed

  30. AlessandraJordan

    THANK YOU, Realmatic
    I seriously, don’t even know why Fat Joe is talking. What the hell has he ever done for Puerto Rico never the less for the United States. He needs to sit his ass down and make a hit without having 4546546 people on a joint. =)

    NOW…

    I am so tired of stupid ass people dissing Daddy Yankee because he is endorsing McCain.I applaud him for not following the celebrity trend and backing Obama because it is the “cool” thing to do.

    I honestly don’t think DY is going to endrose someone he doesn’t believe in.

    And all of you people out there saying that “he lost fans” or “that you are never going to listen to his music again”, he is such a disgrace….is all BS!

    You guys know if you saw Daddy Yankee out on the streets you would be running up to him trying to get a picture/autograph and trying to talk to his SEXY ass.

    The majority of the celebrities I like are voting for Obama and I refuse to go around saying: Oh I am never going to watch their movies again OR I am never going to listen to their music, im not going to watch their T.V because that shouldn’t matter.

    Now I have even more RESPECT for Daddy Yankee!
    =)

  31. you know who

    daddy yankee is the biggest sell out ever I will never buy another one of his records my brother work with a lot dj’s and he is ill about this too so he going to make sure his radio play stuntted for bitch ass move of his…Fat Joe now has all the biZ!!!

  32. you know who

    daddy yankee is the biggest sell out ever I will never buy another one of his records my brother work with a lot dj’s and he is ill about this too so he going to make sure his radio play stuntted for bit@h ass move of his…Fat Joe now has all the biZ!!!

  33. Sorry

    Oops! there goes his international millions!

  34. MURDA

    Daddy Yankee is obviously a lost individual.

  35. SmartAlek

    Daddy Yankee is a sellout. I applaud Fat Joe for putting him on blast. Yes, McCain made his vp pick a woman to try to score points with women. Hoping he can pick up those remaining “Hillary” democrats and those that can not see themselves voting for a black man. His vp is antiabortion rights, antigay, and pro-war.. just as he is. I’m not voting for color, I vote for the issues.

  36. Juana

    yea hes a sellout its plain and simple ive gone through my life were White people laugh in my face when i say Im in medical School its like wow a latina in Medical School are you sure you can even do that? just because you dye your hair blonde and look white doesn’t mean white people will accept you go ahead and vote McCain in do that but he will never understand the struggle of being a poor minority in America because he comes from wealth period.. so you can try and be all white is right but look at were we are know ? Are you all driving your BMW’s? living the American dream? I dont think so your suffering from the economy and Bush is hiding because he knows at the end of the day he doesn’t have to give a damn about it

  37. Juana

    “Instead he could help his community in obesity and how to correct the situation because as we all can see we can learn from as he is an example!”

    LMAO THIS HAD ME LAUGHING FOR A GOOD 5 MINUTES WOW

  38. Lisa

    Thanks to EVERYONE that addressed Belle’s ignorant comments. ANYONE that is a registered DEMOCRAT and believes in our values as DEMOCRATS would NOT think of voting for McCain WHO will ship us all back to our grandparents’ homeland. McCain is NOT interested in a women’s right to choose, nor is he for big government (ask Katrina victims how they feel with LESS government) and he is NOT for equal pay for equal work (not a good look for a woman like me who bust her butt getting a law degree) Honestly, Belle, GET AN EDUCATION my sister, you sound crazy! We will pray for you!

  39. You Wish

    REALMATIC,ME, BELLE, AlessandraJordan and others- Do you ALL work for McCain?

    I mean SERIOUSLY, I’ve never seen any of ya’ll on here before!!

    SMH at a weak A** attempt to get votes

  40. Belle

    First all as someone in these comments said before. Not all Latinos who are not part of the United States can vote anyways. It’s not a Puerto Rican thing if you don’t live in the United States your just another person. Other entertainers who are jumping on either Obama or McCain probably don’t know much and are just there for media attention. Look at a celeb like J.Lo and her husband. Oops one of them forgot to pay their taxes! LOL

    Now as for my education well wouldn’t you be surprised because I have more degrees then you probably think. That even goes to Lisa in that if you are getting an education then you know damn well I am not your sister. If your worried about being shipped back then how is it my problem in you didn’t follow legal preparations to stay within the US? So we will pray for you.

    I never was interested in Barack Obama because I don’t believe in what he says. And for his wife to say this is the first time she is proud of the United States was terrible to say. Who says that? I have many relatives as well in the war and this is a man who I don’t trust because he is more concerned about other things. For example the middle class. Everything is about the middle class? What about the lower class? Should they not be taken care of as well? They people are so poor some of them that they aren’t even considered nothing. These people need a voice too. I was for Hilary Clinton. It’s not because he is black, his concerns are just in my opinion not for everyone. He flipped flopped on half of the issues right after he was to recieve the nomination. ANd for Latinos here in the US do you honestly think that our interest is being 100% looked at when some ethic groups think otherwise in that it’s all about the African Americans? It shouldn’t be that way. Obama is a good African American man yet people compare him to the white man. As well it is true he lacks experience when it comes to the war. If your son or daughter was there would you trust a person like that? He says let’s just end the war. Easier said then done. I also find it funny how you people cry and worry your going to be shipped back, but don’t you understand that if he plans on ending the war like he wants to that our men and woman would not be the only ones at risk? Hello people 9/11 did happen and it could happen again if not worse! To me it like your saying you rather gamble with your life. Do you think these people cared what race you were or where you came from when those plans hit us? Think again!

    Unfortunately we all pay for the mistakes Bush made in this war and it is in our best interest to have someone protect us and our men and women on the line. When Bill Clinton was in office he didn’t play and let people bully us. Bush wanted to play war games and this is why we are where we are. And it’s still my vote and there is nothing anyone can do about it so you know where you complainers can go with that! LOL

    GO Daddy Yankee!

  41. Belle

    AlessandraJordan,

    Amen! At least some people have some sense! The worst part of this conversation is if these smart asses on here saw Daddy Yankee you bet they would be running to be in his inner circle even if they didn’t agree with him anyways!…LOL

  42. AlessandraJordan

    Thanks Belle!

    Smart Minds Think Alike. =)

  43. Anita

    Bella,
    Do you turn on the news? Read about the candidates’ issues? We did not get attacked on 9/11 because of Iraq. We are only gaining more enemies with killing off civilians in the Middle East. If safety was your main concern, you would want the billions that Republicans enforced to be spent on the war to go towards looking for OSAMA BIN LADEN - you know, the actual guy who attacked us? IRAQ DID NOT BRING DOWN THE TWIN TOWERS. I cannot believe you do not know this yet. You must live under a rock or really be that socially unconscious despite your degrees (which, now, I am sure is not worth the paper it is printed on).

    It’s really quite disgusting that you use language such as “shipped back” and you assume that anyone interested in immigration issues or citizenship rights is only doing so because they are undocumented. NEWSFLASH: Obama has discussed and considered the needs of the Latino community more than McCain has. Hillary SUPPORTS Obama. Obama actually discusses how he will help the troops get healthcare and pay for college when they come back…McCain has promised to do what for the troops now? Oh yeah, send them right back. Obama actually frequently talks about the poor, the unemployed, the children at low income schools, etc. McCain does not. Are you sure you read up on any of their stances on these issues?

    And no, Daddy Yankee is not sexy. You are immature to think that such an important time in our political history can be in the same teeny bopper conversation about how sexy one celeb is. I don’t give a damn about his looks and if I did, I’m not a bimbo like you that places such heavy emphasis on someone’s looks that they change their own belief system over it. I won’t trash his music but I wont be no groupie or bopper to him either. His political alignment is a bad reflection of either his judgment or his knowledge about the issue, plain and simple. Keep his looks or how much you’d chase after him out of it.

  44. Anita

    Smart minds do think alike, but dumb minds actually pat each other in the back for thinking the same dumb thoughts.

  45. mrs. D'angelo

    I for one was shocked I couldn’t believe Daddy Yankee was going for Mccain someone who doesn’t care about anyone but the rich while minorities like latinos and blacks and middle class whites have to struggle and how can anybody be a Hillary Clinton supporter then turn around and vote for Mccain their views are nowhere near similar so you can’t really believe in anything to make a big flip flop like that!


  46. Fat Joe has always kept it real. Much love!


  47. Doesn’t every American have the right to vote for whomever they choose? People are talking about about Fat Joe being informed, but I bet you Daddy Yankee can tell you more about McCain then Joe can tell you about Obama. To each his own.

  48. Soldier Of Truth

    COME ON PEOPLE BE FOR PHUCKING REAL! IF YOU THINK MCCAIN OR ANY OF HIS RUNNING MATES GIVES A FLYING PHUCK ABOUT DADDY YANKEE OR THE REGAETON MOVEMENT OR “ANY” OF IT’S PEOPLE YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN!!

    IF YOU THINK MCCAIN HAS BOUGHT A SINGLE D.YANKEE CD YOU ARE A LOST SOUL THAT NEEDS HELP! YOU SHOULD NEVER SUPPORT A CAUSE THAT DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU!

    HE’S NOT SHOWING HIS PEOPLE THAT HE VOTES & IT’S THE RIGHT THING 2 DO, HE’S SHOWING HIS PEOPLE THAT HE’LL SELL THEM DOWN THE FREAKING RIVER FOR SOME EXTRA LIME LIGHT TO PROMOTE HIS DAMN ALBUM!

    I AGREE WITH JOEY ON THIS ONE!! DUDE HAS REALLY SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE D#MN DEVIL, SPEAK YOUR MIND JOEY, WHEN YOUR RIGHT YOUR RIGHT MAN..

    OBAMA/BIDEN O8!!!

  49. MzDeeva

    When i saw that I was sick too! I know Daddy Yankee has not been following this… if he did he wouldn’t be backing him.. he’s just a fool .. trying to stand out…and go against what everyone else is doing without even thinking about it… He’s a fool. Oh well he seems to be the only person who actually believes McCain is for minorities… idiot..

  50. sniper

    Who cares. Obama doesn’t support Hip-hop or Reggaeton anyway

  51. AlessandraJordan

    Who said I agreed with Belle. If you would read what I wrote: I just think it is funny how people keep saying “he lost fans” or “that you are never going to listen to his music again”, he is such a disgrace….is all BS! YOU KNOW AND I KNOW THOSE PEOPLE WHO KEEP SAYING THAT SAW DADDY YANKEE ON THE STREETS THEY WILL JUMP ON HIS ASS IF THEY SAW HIM. And Miss Belle agreed with me on that!

    GIRL, you are CRAZYY who said I was changing my vote because Daddy Yankee is voting for McCain.

  52. AlessandraJordan

    EVERYONE just needs to get over the fact that Daddy Yankee is going to endorse McCain. And no one can stop that.

    Daddy Yankee is a “sellout” because he goes after what he believes in. WOW! THATS STUPID!

  53. AlessandraJordan

    Its funny how people are not going to listen to Daddy Yankee’s music anymore because he is endorsing McCain. To me, that shouldn’t matter it’s pathetic that the majority of you guys feel that way.

  54. ruba

    Alessandra and Belle it is a free country and he has the right to pick whoever he wants but clearly looking @ the positions and issues that are on the table DY doesn’t know what the hell is going on and neither do you two.

  55. Belle

    Anita,

    FIrst all who is the one being on here? Bimbo? Well that is something you must think of yourself as being. You don’t know me to be saying something so stupid. You people talk all about Obama this and Obama this. Let’s take a step back most of these celebrities who are endorsing this man has had not so good careers. And Daddy Yankee cute? So what if he is. Nothing wrong with making that statement. You must feel very low about yourself if you have to call names.

    I am down for all latino but at the same time where are our latinos in office to make a change? If you don’t like what is being said or done to our people then shut up and get off your butt and do something about beyond voting. You lack education in what you say. Honestly do you think people take you seriously when you have the need to insult them based on opinion? What a busy body you are. LOL

  56. Belle

    AlessandraJordan,

    That is very true. So what who Yankee is voting for? I am sure there are many people in life in who we are not going to agree with when it comes to politics or anything. That is what life is all about. Hell some people don’t agree with their parents growing up as child? Do people rid them off for that when those are the only parents they will ever have?

    And if people don’t like what is happening within our government then why don’t they go beyond the means of voting and try and get into office? ust saying where are the Latinos there? There are many born and raised within the US still they choose not to take part beyond the means of voting. Can’t complain too much if this is all we have to deal with.

    One lesson people should be taking from Fat Joe and Daddy Yankee is so what they agree to disagree but the message is to go vote instead of sitting on your butt complaining because many choose not to vote. Calling people names and bimbos is using because now your just fighting your own race. And some people on here really think they are smart for doing so.

  57. Belle

    Sorry all my “e” and “j” are sticking and sorry if I missed any other letters due to my keyboard locking up.

  58. CHOLITA

    Daddy Yankee is beyound repulsive.
    Has he taken a look at what the Republican party has done to this country - in fact to our communities?

    We, the poor people are suffering after they gave those banks the leway to exploit the poor and disadvantaged. Then Bush has also made it difficult for people to file for bankruptcy. Of course those big companies were greatful.

    The education system is for the dogs. Our jobs are going to India and China, now McCain wants to expand Free trade. Seriously, people need to focus on these issues and don’t let these Republican clowns con us again.

    Daddy Yankee can kiss my support Goodbye because clearly he doesn’t give a shit about 90% of the Latino/Caribbean/Black polulation that are feeling the wrath of these people’s policies.

    Notice that the people that suffered the most with the foreclosures were blacks and Hispanics. We were specifically targeted - Then they turn around and say we are stupid! Also, notice all these banks that screwed us got bailed uout by Bush but we were left with the devastation… SAD!!

    Go to hell Daddy Yankee!!

  59. FNH1228

    So basically, DY has one song (that he stole a beat from) and he gotta put his name back out there. Republicans only care about those w/ money. So I guess this lil’guy is tryna protect his duckets from his 15 minutes of fame. (No rollover minutes for him)

  60. PGW

    Daddy Yankee, I hope Mccain will buy your CDs since you pissed many of your fans off. DUMB CAREER MOVE!!! MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE PLOTTING NOW ON HOW TO STOP HISPANICS FROM COMING IN, BUT ISN’T CONCERNED ABOUT THE NORTHERN BORDER AND THE CANADIANS.

  61. Mea

    OK. SO I LINKED ON TO HERE FROM ANOTHER SITE AND AFTER READING THE STORY AND THE COMMENTS, I FELT COMPELLED TO LEAVE MY OWN.

    TO THOSE WHO FEEL THAT BELLE AND “AJ” ARE WRONG AND UNEDUCATED FOR WHAT THEY ARE SAYING, I CAN RELATE BUT I WILL SAY THAT JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE DONT AGREE WITH YOU POLITICALY DOESN’T MEAN THAT THEY ARE ANY LESS INFORMED. WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION THAT CAN BE OPENLY DISCUSSED IN THIS COUNTRY AND I BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT BARACK OBAMA STANDS FOR. PERSERVING AMERICAN RIGHTS.

    I WAS NOT PRO-OBAMA IN THE BEGINNING. I WAS INDIFFERENT ACTUALLY BUT AFTER TAKING A HARD LOOK AT THE FACTS I AM SURE IN MY HEART OF HEARTS THAT HE IS THE BEST CANDIDATE TO LEAD US TO CHANGE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

    SO DO I AGREE WITH THEM, NO BUT IF WE ARE SAYING THAT WE ARE FOR OBAMA THEN WE HAVE TO STAND FOR WHAT HE STANDS FOR, FREEDOM!

    OBAMA 4 PRESIDENT!

    P.S. DADDY YANKEE IS A LAME! REGARDLESS OF WHO HE VOTES FOR OR ENDORSSES!

    daddy yankee has a right to support whoevr he wants. i know many epublican hispanics and blacks. get off the color line its an issues line. If daddy yankee supports him its his rright - no different then blacks supporting obama BECAUSE he is a black man or whites voting AGAINST Oama bccause he is a black man. Stupid bullshit to think ALL hispanics think tthe same and vote the same - PS I cant stand OBAMA - dont like mccain either.

  63. TRUSELF

    I WAS UPSET AS WELL!!!!! MY BLACK ASS THREW HIS CD AWAY IMMEDIATLEY. CAN’T BELEIVE I BOUGHT THAT SELL OUTS MUSIC.

    PUTTING A BLACK MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE PUTS LATINOS ONE STEP CLOSER TO HAVING THEIR TURN IN THE WHITE HOUSE AS WELL.

    Has anyone listended to what the republicans plans for illegal immigrants are?

    We are going broke paying for a war that will not end terrorism. as long as us is run by biggoted white men there will always be countried who have groups who hate us.

    How much oil is burned or used up during this war? but Iraq is pulling in billions and they need our help.

    George bush has oil refineries and is making sure his pockets and friends pockets are lined up after the white house.

    I am also dissapointed in the familes of the 9/11 victims who received their check and did not do shit else. Why aren’t there protest about bringing justice to the real masterminds of 9/11? They got paid and don’t care about justice for real.

    I only heard Osama Bin Ladin’s name from a government official, last week when Barack brought it up. G. Bush and Republicans don’t care about protecting America. It’s about protecting their pockets and the coporations that back them up.

    Then Mcccain picks a lady just becasue of her sex. He dies and we are stuck with some dumb as lady we don’t even know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    America is not a Democracy it is a hypocracy.


  64. @DR. LATINO,

    You made the most valid points. PUERTO RICO, as an island/state, CANNOT VOTE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION!!!

    This reminds me of the Bush campaign in the 80’s where the RNC got EASZY E (Yes, NWA badass superthug gangster EAZY E) to attend and if I’m not mistaken, endorse the Republican party. This is how the Republicans do business.

    DADDY YANKEE IS NOT A SELLOUT…
    HE IS A MUTHAFUCKIN SELLOUT!!!


  65. the thing that sickens me more than anything is that some Latinos will actually vote for this moron based on Daddy Stankee’s opinion. I am proud that there are so many on this blog and many others that see the light and also see the shit stain on Daddy Stankee’s right cheek.

    No Gasolina!

    Fat Joe really surprised me. He sounded very articulate in his response to Daddy Yankee’s actions. He brought up some good points and I’m awaiting Daddy Yankee’s answer.

    Why is he a sell out? because he’s conservative? Because most latinos I know care about pro-life causes, being that many are Catholic or Christian. You can all vote for who you want, but know that a democratic vote is always a vote for death to babies. Ever heard of partial birth abortion? It means a baby that’s big enough to survive outside the womb and is partially delivered and has it’s brains sucked out. Google it and see for yourself. I have total respect for someone who’s not afraid to stand up for himself/herself and their beliefs. Do what you want but let us who believe in the right to life vote for life. My opinion and my right. Que viva Daddy Yankee. Y PUNTO !!!
