The ex-wife of Daddy Yankee, Mireddys González, filed a new lawsuit on Monday to claim $50 million from the artist at the Federal Court of San Juan in Puerto Rico, accusing the singer of creating a plan to breach the agreement reached in October. According to the document, the corporations El Cartel Records and Los Cangris, Inc. 'approved and executed' in December 2024 resolutions declaring dividends of $100 million between González and Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, the singer's real name. 'The resolutions specified that the funds be divided equally between the two shareholders, with $50 million to be deposited into the plaintiff's personal account at Oriental Bank and $50 million into Ayala's personal account at Oriental Bank,' the legal text argues. The lawsuit specified that 'less than 24 hours after the dividend transfers were settled and fully credited to the plaintiff's personal account at Oriental Bank,' the $50 million 'were reversed and deleted.' According to the complaint, the withdrawal of the funds was the result of 'a coordinated plan between Ayala and FirstBank to deprive the plaintiff of $50 million in corporate dividends to which she was legally entitled.' For this reason, First Bank and Oriental Bank were also included as co-defendants. 'It constitutes a legally binding judicial admission that Ayala instructed, pressured, influenced, or otherwise caused FirstBank to reverse the plaintiff's funds and that the bank complied with his demands despite his total lack of signing authority, corporate authority, or legal capacity to alter or cancel any corporate transaction,' the lawsuit pointed out. Therefore, González requested the immediate restitution of the $50 million, compensatory and statutory damages, injunctions against future interference, a judicial declaration that the reversal was illegal, unauthorized, and contrary to the law, as well as joint and several liability of banks and insurers. The legal representatives of the former couple reached an agreement on October 10 for the famous urban artist to use his professional trademarks, including his stage name and pseudonyms, such as the initials DY that he has recently used after announcing his musical retirement. This agreement is the latest chapter in the legal and business dispute between Daddy Yankee and his ex-wife since last August 14, when Federal Judge Silvia Carreño ordered González to deliver electronic devices with emails and files that were originally deleted from the El Cartel Records corporation. The artist sued his ex-wife and his sister-in-law Ayeisha González for the alleged destruction of files from his corporations El Cartel Records and Los Cangris, Inc. The dispute over the corporations began after the González sisters transferred a total of $100 million from the corporate bank accounts to personal accounts of each party in December 2024, without the knowledge or authorization of Daddy Yankee. The separation of the couple was confirmed at that time, and the divorce was made official on February 19 of last year, after almost 30 years of marriage and two children in common.
