Sheesh! Reggaetón legend Daddy Yankee has filed an injunction claiming his estranged wife, Mireddys González, withdrew $100 million amid their divorce without authorization. The new legal battle arrives just weeks after the “Gasolina” rapper and wife announced their divorce after 20 years of marriage.
On December 2, Yankee shared a statement to his Instagram Stories that read, “With a heart full of respect and honesty, I want to share some important news about my personal life. 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 respond to the divorce petition received by Mireddys.”
On Friday (December 13), reggaetonero Daddy Yankee, born Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, filed a 16-page injunction in San Juan, Puerto Rico calling out his soon-to-be-ex-wife Mireddys González, her sister Ayeicha González Castellanos, and his company El Cartel Records, where Yankee serves as founder, his estranged wife allegedly serves as CEO, and her sister serves as secretary/treasurer.
According to documents obtained by Billboard, in his December 13 filing, Daddy Yankee alleges that one day before his estranged wife, with help from her sister, withdrew $80 million from the bank account of his El Cartel Records “without authorization” amid their divorce. He claims that he had already revoked their authority and had “warned that they could not carry out any transactions on behalf of El Cartel.”
Yankee’s lawyers wrote, “Without the knowledge and authorization of the plaintiff and in violation of the requirements of the Law, a bank transfer was made, withdrawing, according to the information obtained, eighty million dollars from the corporate account of the entity.”
Within the injunction, it reads, “In spite of the plaintiff being the owner of the shares of the company and being the reason for the existence of the corporation Cartel Records Inc., today he lacks access, interference, and information, to all that he generated and continues to generate and to which he is entitled.”
Subsequently, Daddy Yankee is asking that the court provide “immediate removal of the plaintiffs from any function or interference in the corporations as officers or administrators thereof and the delivery of the information and documentation that they have illegitimately withheld.” The Latin legend also claims that his estranged wife and her sister improperly moved to “concentrate in their persons a greater power over the operations of the Cartel than was authorized, which has resulted in a detrimental and negligent performance for the company.”

He also says the two sisters “failed to render an accurate account of their actions, disregarded formalities and requirements of the corporate legislation, irresponsible financial decisions.” Daddy Yankee also alleges that his estranged wife hired a third party to represent El Cartel in the sale of his music catalog to Concord. He alleges González sold his rights at a price that “turned out to be unreasonable, disproportionate, and far below the real value.”
The filing explains, “Despite the plaintiff having signed the agreement, under the advice of that third party and the defendants, the plaintiff was not provided with a copy of all the contract documents, and to this day he does not know the real scope of the transaction, nor does he have detailed knowledge of what was or was not sold, nor the limitations he may have on the use of his musical creations.”
On Tuesday (December 17), Billboard updated that a new legal document revealed that Daddy Yankee filed a second motion on December 13, alleging his estranged wife also withdrew $20 million from the bank account of another music company he founded, Los Cangris, bringing the total to $100 million taken “without authorization” amid the couple’s divorce.
In the second filing, Yankee and his lawyers labeled the move as a “desperate attempt” that went against the “warnings received and express requests that she put a stop to any management and initiative that would compromise the company’s finances.” Yankee’s lawyers also said, “It now becomes evident why she has wanted to keep him in the dark and deny him information about the withdrawals and cash movements that she and her sister make behind his back.”
