Apparently, Daddy Yankee wasn’t content with just busting out the hits.
We all remember how the reggaetonero made a damn fool of himself months ago after throwing his weight behind John McCain. Then, DY sought to branch out by launching his own fragrance for men.
Now, it looks like el Cangri is looking to take more steps toward being the ultimate media mogul.
Daddy Yankee officially announced the launch of his revamped website, DaddyYankee.com, as well as his plans to not only launch a fragrance for women, but to head back to the silver screen with more acting gigs.
Is it just us? Or does it seem like DY has himself a little Jenny-from-the-Block envy?
The latest músicos to set up a collaboration may be Daddy Yankee and Don Omar, but they’re not just working on one fusion…they’re working on two!
The pair of reggaetoneros reportedly are in the works to record two tracks (one for each of their new albums) in spite of a reported feud that waged between the two singers for a few years.
According to DY:
“En eso estamos. Trabajamos en los dos temas que hicimos con Don Omar para los respectivos discos de cada uno. Cuando salga el mío, Daddy Yankee mundial, les voy a dar tremenda sorpresa, pero no quiero adelantarme. La gente va a recibir pura energía de parte de Don Omar y Daddy Yankee y, cuando decimos energía, estamos hablando de mucha energía. Sí existieron momentos de discordia pero limamos nuestras asperezas y todo volvió a su cauce.”
What do you all think? Some of you swore off Daddy Yankee for good back when he lost his mind and decided to endorse John McCain, but perhaps this new pairing might be enough to lure some of you back to the radio.
We’ve tallied all your votes and topping the list of the year’s biggest chisme was Daddy Yankee’s endorsement of John McCain in the Presidential elections.
When the reggaetonero came out in favor of the Republican candidate, it unleashed a shit storm with all you Lossip readers, especially after Fat Joe put him on blast for it.
Some of you supported Daddy Yankee. Some of you vowed never to buy another DY album again. But for better or worse, El Cangri topped our list this year thanks to hundreds of votes from all of you.

At long last, the post we’ve all been waiting for. This is where you loyal readers get to weigh in on the year’s biggest escándalo, and there definitely were plenty to choose from.
From the recent narco drama of Miss Sinaloa, to Daddy Yankee’s endorsement of John McCain, 2008 has been chalk full of celebs making fools of themselves.
But we need your help in deciding who was the biggest fool of them all. We’ve selected our own list of nominees, but feel free to add in any extras who you think have been pulling exceptional pendejadas this year.
After the crushing defeat of his boy, John McCain, last week, reggaetonero Daddy Yankee has finally opened up about backing the wrong horse…or dinosaur…whatever:
“I respect the people’s decision. That’s the good thing about living in a country where democracy exists. Now it is the job of all of us to work as a team and come together like brothers for the good of this nation.”
That’s the smartest he’s sounded in a long time. But I can’t help but wonder if this new feeling of solidarity isn’t just a ploy to get us to buy his new cologne?

Ooh, you heard right! First it was Gloria Trevi, then Juanes, and now Daddy Yankee has become the latest superestrella to get his gear jacked by unknown thieves!
Word on the streets is that el reggaetonero and his crew got their laptops, Blackberries, and other items stolen while on a promotional tour in Argentina.
El pobrecito de Daddy Yankee has not formally released a statement regarding the lifting of his goods yet.
Normally, I’d laugh at him, but God forbid anyone steal my laptop! My heart would break into a million pieces!
Tough break for some Lossip readers who apparently hate everything we write about, but here comes another story about superestrellas, their politics, and the beef between them. (Feel free to avert your eyes if you think you’re too cool to care about “artists”)
Word has it that not only does fellow reggaetonero Fat Joe hate on Daddy Yankee for his political beliefs, but now Pitbull has joined in, voicing his sentiments against El Cangri, saying:
That was bull****. That was a publicity stunt gone wrong. How can you sit there and make a debate about John McCain and Sarah Palin? There’s no way shape or form for him to jump behind John McCain. Whoever on your team told you to do this s*** really fucked you up right now. Fat Joe called him out on it also. I don’t think he’s a bad guy. I just think it’s the wrong decision. I don’t know how you can sit up there and talk about John McCain’s immigration laws when you come from an island that’s U.S. territory. [Laughs]
Boo-yah! Though the cubano hasn’t openly endorsed Democratic candidate Barack Obama, his remarks against McCain definitely made it clear that this man is definitely not voting Republican come November.
Well, Adriana Lima may have dodged the bullet of Lossip ridicule there by sticking to promoting Victoria’s Secret perfumes. Sadly, Daddy Yankee will not be so lucky.
It looks like DY is now spraying his way into the ranks of…Hillary Duff…Paris Hilton…Britney Spears…and most recently, Jessica Simpson…and will soon be adding his very own brand of perfume to the DY brand.
According to reports, his manly man scent will be a macho mixture of “apple peel, ginger, cedar leaves, sage, basil, amber, and suede”…yummy!
At last, someone figured out what a real hombre smells like: a delicious garden salad with just a hint of S&M leather neurosis. Although, in his defense, I suppose there are worse things to smell like.
How did our Boricua Daddy Yankee do as moderator of a political debate? It wasn’t the most kosher of events, to say the least, and the audience did make Yankee feel that by giving him no love and instead created war outside the Puerto Rican Convention Center.
Apparently, the Reggaetonero didn’t shine other than with his bling but disappointed with his lip and demeanor, adding nothing to the set script as he tried to pose collected and hide the nerves. Pués ahí tienen... It figures, if you hire an urban singer to host a CNN night at the Isla, you might get either really bad behavior or pins dropping…
