Daddy Yankee and Jaslene Gonzalez hit-up Harvard University on Saturday, and received props for their work in the Latino community. La flaca appeared extra hyped for being awarded the, “Latino Rising Star Award.”
Her gigs are adding diversity to the modeling industry, but the true champion dedicated to social change is Daddy Yankee. He was awarded the, “Latino of the Year Award” for his foundation, Corazón Guerrero, which helps educate former inmates in order for them to succeed in society.
The student organization at Harvard definitely earns props for reppin’ successful Latinos in the entertainment industry, but which two celebs would you have picked to receive these ‘prestigious’ awards?
Daddy Yankee has received a collection of high-profile nominations since becoming the highest album selling Latino artist, and now Harvard University is also honoring his undeniable success.
On April 26th, Daddy will receive The Latino of The Year Award from Harvard University students for his charity organization, Corazón Guerrero. His foundation redefines the meaning of institutional reform, and helps educate former inmates in order for them to succeed in society.
Props to Daddy for all his work in the Latino community!
Despite their long-time beef being resolved, Daddy Yankee has declined Don Omar’s wedding invitation. Forget all the drama and hype, Daddy is not attending the wedding because he has a performance scheduled in Bolivia the same weekend as the much-talked-about wedding.
The fact that Daddy Yankee was even invited is more shocking than him snubbing the invitation! Good thing he is not wasting his time…we all know Don and Jackie’s marriage won’t last long.
How long do you think their wedding vows will last?
Long time rivals, Don Omar and Daddy Yankee must have squashed whatever differences they had in the past. The two reggaeton stars made guest appearances at Wisin y Yandel’s concert in Puerto Rico over the weekend.
When it came time for a group performance to the song “Nadie como tu,” the two stars peacefully hugged each other.
These fellas are more dramatic than two school girls. Luckily they were able to put their egos to the side, pero…
Do you think this truce will last for long?
Daddy Yankee recently launched a scholarship program, Edúcate con impacto, for young students in Puerto Rico. The singer has allocated $100,000 for the project, which will offer free education for six lucky students.
In regards to his latest charity initiative Daddy Yankee states,
“Cuando uno se educa, uno se libera. Y estas becas son para que echen para delante, no se detengan, siempre hay oportunidad de retomar el camino.”
“When you educate yourself, you are free. And these scholarships are meant for [these kids] to succeed, and not give up. There is always opportunity to change your path.”
Now that is a true passion for kids. I will pop out a few babies for Daddy Yankee. Just say the word Daddy…just say the word!
Check out the premiere of his latest music video for Somos de Calle on Pepsi Musica airing at 5PM tomorrow.
Daddy Yankee has love for basketball. The rapper is investing in some hoop dreams by co-owning the Puerto Rican basketball team, Caguas Creoles. He recently commented to People En Espanol about his new venture,
“Since I support the talent here, I feel like I have to support the sport. These guys, these great athletes, give 100% on the court. It makes us happy to see them win, and we hate to see them lose.”
Seems like a great deed, but Daddy Yankee is still just a cocky reggaetonero to me.
Reggaeton star Daddy Yankee may have catapulted himself into a life of fortune and fame, but that doesn’t mean he’s sitting at home counting his money. Instead he is giving back to the community, both in his regional Puerto Rico and abroad.
After having started a campaign in Puerto Rico a few years ago to help schools with limited resources, the singer is now expanding his program to help other Latin Countries.
The campaign, called Blimblineando Escuela, has recently donated to a school in Colombia whose bathrooms and study environment were in need of alterations.
That is a wonderful thing Daddy Yankee is doing. What would it say about him if he had all that money and never helped anyone out? Daddy’s efforts are for a wonderful cause; the importance of education cannot be denied.

Reggaeton star Daddy Yankee is denying claims he assaulted a soccer player at his hotel in Ecuador last Friday.
“What this guy said is against my philosophy of life,” he responded during a telephone interview with the press while touring in Cali, Colombia. “People know that I’ve been clear, and if a country gives me a chance to perform, I’m not going to come and cause problems.”
You’d think a hotel security camera would have caught the action on tape if it had really happened. Or maybe I just watch too much “Law & Order”.
