Since the urban exponent Raymond Ayala, better known as Daddy YankeeWhile he announced that he was retiring from the stage to follow God, a large section of his followers said that they would continue to support him. Others were surprised by the statements from one of the music industry's most important voices of all time.
For example the podcaster Paula PabonDaughter of producer and announcer Jorge Pabon “Molusco”He couldn't help but be touched when he first saw the video of the moment the “Gasolina” singer made public his conversion to the gospel. The Adolescentes podcast host's reaction was revealed in the latest episode of the project she runs with her brother ocean.
“Wow. “That's brutal,” said Paula. “Molusco” in turn invited her to share the sensation she experienced. “What did you feel?” he asked. “No, it's brutal to see a person who is has lived his whole life without his feelings and is now taking such a big step in a “show”. “This is something I would dream of, at least for myself.” added the young woman.
The producer confessed that he had seen the same video and that he didn't feel the same way. It is not the first time that the best daughter of the host of the radio show “Molusco y los reyes de la punta” La Mega 106.9 FM speaks openly on a topic related to religion.
Daddy Yankee's message
“My people, this day is for me the most important day of my life and I want to share it with you, because a life full of success is not the same as a life with meaning. For a long time I tried to fill a void in my life that no one could fill, I tried to fill it and find meaning in my life. At times I seemed very happy, but something was missing to make me feel complete, and I must confess that those days are over. Someone could fill the void I felt for a long time. “I could see that I was someone for everyone, but I was nothing without Him…” said the famous “Big Boss” after throwing the microphone in the air after wowing his audience with the energy and stage dominance that distinguished him, thrilled him, over the course of more than two and a half hours of concert.
Using a new microphone as a symbol of being a new voice for Christ, he continued: “I was able to travel the world, win many awards, applause and praise, but I realized something that the Bible says: 'What is it any use?'.” A man who can win? The whole world if he loses his soul. So tonight I recognize and am not ashamed to tell the whole world that Jesus lives in me and that I will live for him. The Bible says that whoever recognizes him in public here on earth will also recognize him before my Father. Now everyone who knows me as Daddy Yankee should say, “Daddy Yankee in Christ, Raymond Ayala in Puerto Rico.” One story has ended and a new story will begin, a new beginning. All the tools I have in my power, like music, social media, platforms, a microphone, everything Jesus has given me, are now for the Kingdom.”
Likewise, in his message, he thanked the country in which he was born and where he lives, calling on the public not to follow him but to accompany him in this new beginning.
“Thank you very much, Puerto Rico, and I hope that you will take this new beginning with me, and I hope that something very important will be ingrained in you: Do not follow any man. I am a human; To all the people who have followed me: Follow Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life. Thank you, God bless you. Christ loves you and Christ is coming, don't forget it. God protect you. Merry Christmas. I love you, Puerto Rico,” he said.
Raising his face to heaven, he asked him in a clear indication that he was turning to God: “And this in the same way, Jesus, as you, through your mercy, allowed me to travel the world, in your mercy “Father.” May you allow me to evangelize the world in this way from Puerto Rico. Amen, thank you Jesus, Raymond Ayala. I love you, Puerto Rico. “We have reached the goal, amen!” he concluded.
