Daddy Yankee Alleges Mireddys González Took $100 Million Amid Divorce

Daddy Yankee Alleges Mireddys González Withdrew $100 Million Without Authorization Amid Divorce

Daddy Yankee is going through divorce trouble. 

After the musician announced he and Mireddys González were separating following 29 years of marriage, he filed multiple motions against his estranged wife, citing she had withdrawn a cumulative $100 million from company accounts without his authorization. 

In documents filed Dec. 13 obtained by Billboard, Yankee (real name Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez) alleged that González—along with her sister Ayeicha González Castellano—had taken $80 million from the El Cartel Records account, and filed a second motion later that same day citing that an additional $20 million had been taken from the Los Cangris music account. 

The 47-year-old labeled González taking the money as a “desperate attempt” that went against “warnings received and express requests that she put a stop to any management and initiative that would compromise the company’s finance,” per the outlet, who cited the documents. 

“It now becomes evident why she has wanted to keep him in the dark,” the filing states, per Billboard, “and deny him information about the withdrawals and cash movements that she and her sister make behind his back.”

In the dual filings, Yankee requested the “immediate” removal of González and her sister from the accounts and administrative duties of the companies. The filing further notes that González and her sister’s actions to remove the money from the accounts without proper authorization “disregarded formalities and requirements of the corporate legislation.” 

E! News has reached out to reps for Yankee, González and Castellano regarding the recent filing but has not yet heard back. 

The “Gasolina” singer’s filings came a little less than two weeks after he announced his separation from his estranged wife.

“With a heart full of respect and honesty, I want to share some important news about my personal life,” Yankee wrote in an Instagram Story Dec. 2 in Spanish. “After more than two decades of marriage and after many months of trying to save my marriage, which my wife and I share, today my lawyers responded to the divorce petition received from Mireddys.”

At the time, Yankee—who shares kids  Jesaaelys, 28, and Yamilet, 27, and Jeremy, 26 with González—noted that he had “respect” for her decision to end their marriage. 

“I appreciate the time we shared, full of blessings and values, of love and with a beautiful family that will continue to be our priority,” he added. “This is not an easy time, but I understand that it is part of my life process.”
