The legal representatives of Daddy Yankee and his ex-wife, Mireddys González, They reached an agreement so that the famous urban artist can use his professional brands, including his stage name and pseudonyms, such as the acronym DY that he has recently used after announcing his musical retirement.
This is clear from a joint motion released this Friday, October 10, and presented on Thursday, October 9, before Judge María Antongiorgi Jordán, in the Federal Court of Hato Rey (San Juan), in which the lawyers notified that “the parties have reached a total and definitive agreement on all the claims presented in this action.”
Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, the singer’s first name, recently filed a new lawsuit in Federal Court alleging that his ex-wife sought to prevent him from using certain brands, including Daddy Yankee and DY.
Given this, the singer and his legal team requested that an order be issued prohibiting said action, to which the judge requested that the defendant respond to the claim made by the artist and his lawyers within 48 hours.
“The parties have agreed that this honorable court will issue a ruling incorporating the terms of said agreement and that said ruling will be final and unappealable,” details the document, which maintains that this court retains “the jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the agreement, if necessary.”
The pact establishes that González “agrees, undertakes and undertakes that, in the future, either directly or indirectly, it will not take any action aimed at limiting, affecting or preventing Ramón Ayala Rodríguez from using the Daddy Yankee or DY trademarks“.
In addition, the agreement indicates that González undertakes “not to disparage, dilute or adversely affect the covered marks, nor to register or attempt to register any mark that may be considered substantially similar or that may cause a likelihood of confusion.”
This agreement is the most recent chapter in the legal and business dispute between Daddy Yankee and his ex-wife since on August 14, federal judge Silvia Carreño ordered González to hand over electronic devices with emails and files that were originally deleted from the El Cartel Records corporation.
The artist sued his ex-wife and ex-sister-in-law, Ayeisha González, for alleged destruction of files from his corporations El Cartel Records and Los Cangris, Inc.
The dispute over the corporations began after in December 2024 the González sisters made transfers for the total sum of US$100 million from corporate bank accounts to personal accounts of each party, without the knowledge or authorization of Daddy Yankee.
The couple’s separation was confirmed on those dates and divorce It became official on February 19, after almost 30 years of marriage and two children together.
