Daddy Yankee and Don Omar End Years-Long Feud: Always ‘Room for Forgiveness’

• By Tomás Mier

The gods of reggaeton have made peace. On Tuesday, Don Omar and Dadd Yankee shared sweet Instagram posts announcing that the longtime rivals had ended their on-and-off feud following a conversation “from the heart.”

“Today we close the book that kept the best chapters of our controversial rivalry. Thank you for your words and for listening to mine, which came from the heart too,” Omar wrote in Spanish. “I wish you and your family the best. Thank you for your competitive spirit and admirable discipline, but even more so, thank you for what you did for our music.”

“Thank you for collaborating and for competing because I did it with a titan. I am left with the good memories, the laughter, the dreams together, and with the desire for one last round with such a great opponent,” he added. “We will see each other again soon because I owe you a hug and thank you in person.”

Omar ended his note: “Long live King Daddy.”

“Today I feel calm knowing that [the rivalry] is behind us, and we are an example of how we may have differences but there will always be room for forgiveness,” Yankee wrote. “You have been a great rival and I will never stop recognizing everything you’ve done for our movement.”

The reconciliation between the two Latin music legends comes just weeks after Daddy Yankee performed his final show at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico and shared that he will dedicate his life to Christianity. In his post, he said he was following the “greatest example of what Jesus does.”

“I feel calm and at peace knowing that today we leave behind the controversies between two performers who raised the Puerto Rican flag high,” Yankee wrote, before adding, “God bless you, your family and all your faithful followers.”

Despite their rivalry, the artists collaborated multiple times over the years, including 2003’s “Gata Gangster” and “La Noche Está Buena” with Hector “El Father,” and later on “Yo Soy de Aquí” in 2015, followed by “Hasta Abajo Remix” in 2020.

The duo even went on tour together in 2016, but their issues resurfaced last year after Omar accused Yankee’s close friend , manager Raphy Pina, of working with Yankee to sabotage his part of the show, including disconnecting sound equipment when he hit the stage during a show in Vegas.

Don Omar and Daddy Yankee Announce 4 New Dates for Kingdom Tour

Highly anticipated tour is set to play in new york, miami, orlando and los angeles.

It's confirmed—you can  see Don Omar and Daddy Yankee on tour together this summer.

After this year's Billboard Latin Music Awards, many wondered if the Kingdom tour would happen as the two singers never engaged on stage during their performance. Another feud? We might never know, but we do know that there are four scheduled dates for their highly anticipated concert.

Billboard reports that the two are set to take the stage July 30 at Madison Square Garden in New York, August 6 at the AmericanAirlines Arena, Aug. 7 at Amway Center in Orlando and Aug. 27 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Tickets for the first two dates go on sale Thursday, and tickets for the remaining shows go on sale June 23.

The announcement of the joint tour last August left many of their fans in disbelief. The tumultuous history of the two iconic colleagues goes back for years. The reasons behind their spats have always been unclear to the public, but they seem to have put it all the past... right ?

"I was motivated by doing something completely different—and by the size of the offer," Yankee told Billboard at the time. "This is a sport, and I like to be the best athlete."

Don Omar didn't stay mum about the subject. "Let me clarify: I am not his best friend, and he is not my best friend," said the star. "But we respect each other. That desire to be the best is what has pushed us to be better."

We can't wait to see if they will finally have an onstage musical "face-off" this summer.

Daddy Yankee, Don Omar 'The Kingdom' Tour: Reggaeton Stars Put Past Aside, Announce Concert Together!

• Share on Pocket

As my abuelita tends to say: "Se veran cosas!" ( We will see things), and evidently, she's right! Two of reggaeton's finest artists, Daddy Yankee and Don Omar , have just announced their first-ever tour...together. This is huge news!

If you recall, both Puerto Rican stars, who kicked off their careers around the same time, have had a rocky relationship that goes back to more than a decade ago. Part of their conflict was over an argument about King Daddy not putting Don on his 2004 album "Barrio Fino". It was then followed with back-to-back rap battles, where both boricuas dissed each other.

But those days are long gone, as the "Gasolina" singer and "Pobre Diabla" singer have already made their peace. In fact, things are running smoothly between the professional pair, that they even recorded together for Don Omar's recent album " The Last Don 2 ."

To prove that they have put their sour past aside, El Cangri and El Rey have announced a tour together titled "The Kingdom" ---a 60-date Yankee/Omar tour that is ­scheduled to run for two years. The tour is also framed as a musical "boxing match," where fans in each city will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite musical sets or "rounds" via an app designed for the concert.

“I was motivated by doing something completely different -- and by the size of the offer. This is a sport, and I like to be the best athlete,” said Yankee, 38, exclusively to Billboard . His 37-year-old colleague, on the other hand, has stronger words. “Let me clarify: I am not his best friend, and he is not my best friend, but we respect each other. That desire to be the best is what has pushed us to be better.”

"The Kingdom" is set to kick off December 5th in their native island Puerto Rico. Dates have yet to be announced. We seriously can't wait for this! Will you be checking them out on tour? Sound off in the comments below!

Don Omar & Daddy Yankee Lock In 4 Concert Dates

Following a sold-out show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 6, the dueling titans have finally confirmed they will play more U.S. dates. The Kingdom is slated to play July 30 at Madison Square…

Chief Content Officer Latin/Español, Billboard

They fought. They made up. They announced a mega-tour. Then they fought again.

By the time reggaeton icons Daddy Yankee and Don Omar took the stage at the Billboard Latin Music Conference and Awards in April, the fate of the fabled Kingdom Tour looked might iffy.

Billboard Latin Music Conference: Daddy Yankee & Don Omar Rivalry Continues… Or Not?

Iffy no more, says promoter Felix Cabrera and manager/producer Raphy Piña. Following a sold-out show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 6, the dueling titans have finally confirmed they will play more U.S. dates.

The Kingdom is slated to play July 30 at Madison Square Garden in New York, August 6 at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, August 7 at Amway Center in Orlando and August 27 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Tickets for the first two shows go on sale Thursday, and tickets for Orlando and L.A. go on sale June 23.

Don Omar Unites Machine Gun Kelly, Anitta, Wisin & Yandel for Premio Lo Nuestro 2024 Medley

It hasn’t been easy to get this far.

When it was first announced last August by Billboard , The Kingdom Tour promised to be the biggest Latin urban pairing in history, and certainly, the most momentous tour in the genre.

Yankee and Don Omar, longtime colleagues who’d had spats in the past, were joining for an ambitious 60-date trek that would also include a joint album and a TV show for the two artists, who between them have 11 No. 1 hits on Billboard ’s Latin Albums  chart and 28 top 10 hits on  Hot Latin Songs .

“I was motivated by doing something completely different — and by the size of the offer,” Yankee, 38, told Billboard at the time. “This is a sport, and I like to be the best athlete.”

Don Omar was equally pragmatic. “Let me clarify: I am not his best friend, and he is not my best friend,” said the 37-year-old. “But we respect each other. That desire to be the best is what has pushed us to be better.”

Things were slated to kick off with a Dec. 5, one-off date in Puerto Rico that sold out in minutes and became four sell-out shows, Dec. 3-6.

That much went off without a hitch. Yankee and Don Omar traded off individual sets and then performed together in what had been billed as an epic face-off. It was a resounding success.

But come 2016 — and for reasons that remain a mystery, at least to outsiders — things between Yankee and Don Omar began to cool off, and the tour kick-off was pushed back.

In April, the pair met for a panel and performance at the Billboard Latin Music Conference and Awards but barely looked at each other. Rumors swirled about a possible tour cancellation.

Don Omar Says Tour Is Still On With Daddy Yankee, Despite Rumors

On May 6, however, Yankee and Don Omar both made it to Las Vegas, and although their much-anticipated onstage musical “face-off” never happened, each performed individually as planned in an extremely polite atmosphere.

“Thank you for coming, family!” Yankee shoted at the close of his one-hour-plus set, which opened the evening. “This is Daddy Yankee, here with my colleague Don Omar, to give you a show of the highest level.”

Later, Don Omar made an effort to be equally congenial. “Are we having fun? That’s the most important,” he said. “Thanks for helping us tonight.”

At this time, it’s impossible to say what exactly could happen at MSG and beyond, but dates are at least locked in.

Neither Yankee nor Don Omar is saying anything, but what Don Omar told Billboard last year still holds: “There’s a professional rivalry, and we’re both going to show our best. It’s stressful, and I love it.”

Daddy Yankee Responds to Don Omar’s Claim that He Sabotaged Canceled Tour

Daddy Yankee is finally opening up about what happened with his canceled Kingdom Tour in 2016 with Don Omar. In an interview released today (Nov. 15), the Puerto Rican pioneer hit back at Don Omar’s claims of disrespect between the two.

The conversation about the canceled Kingdom Tour kicked off last month when Omar did an hour-long interview with El Chombo. Omar claimed that Daddy Yankee disagreed with how he was organizing the tour, and he would let that be known in their meetings. “I got up from my chair and left. Left behind everyone in the meeting because I’m not an employee of [Daddy Yankee],” Don Omar said. The “Salió en Sol” singer said the tour was over officially after their concert in Las Vegas, NV. Before his set, he claimed that Daddy Yankee’s team left the console and wiring all disconnected backstage, so he decided not to perform. 

Omar also called Raphy Pina a “big mouth” during the interview. That prompted Pina to post a 30-minute interview from his prison cell where he talked about his side of the Kingdom Tour. He claimed that Don Omar only had himself to blame for the tour’s demise. “You [Don Omar] did not rehearse your show,” Pina said. “I saw people sitting down. You did not prepare yourself as the other guy [Daddy Yankee] had presented himself.”

🚨🚨 Daddy Yankee le responderá a Don Omar todo sobre el tour “KingDom” en una entrevista que sale mañana junto a @matiasgarciard . ¿Don Omar volverá a atacar luego de esto? ¿Están listos? 👀🔥🔥 @daddy_yankee @DONOMAR pic.twitter.com/l7KMYYKdhw — Trap Updates (@Trap_Updates) November 15, 2022

Now Daddy Yankee is telling his side of the story. He talked about the canceled Kingdom Tour with Santiago Matías from Alokeke Music Group. Daddy Yankee said that Omar’s claims were not true and that his fellow reggaeton pioneer decided to remove himself from the tour.

“Did I turn off the console at Madison, at the other concerts we had and people saw me as the winner?” Daddy Yankee asked. “What happens is that it’s unfortunate that he is going to try to justify until his last breath that he did not give up and quit. That hurts. No matter what people say, you know deep down in your heart that this happened and there is no way to justify it.”

Daddy Yankee announced his retirement this year following the end of his Legendaddy Tour.  Omar recently collaborated with Akon for his new single “Good Girl.”

Puerto Rican superstar Don Omar is extending his “Back to Reggaetón" tour, adding 18 more dates, including a Sept. 15 show at UBS Arena in Elmont that concludes the trek. The tour, which kicked off in March, celebrates 25 years of hits from the self-proclaimed “King of Reggaetón.”  

“Back to Reggaetón” is Don Omar’s first major headlining tour in a decade and his first since the Kingdom Tour with his former rival Daddy Yankee in 2015 (they patched up their differences last December).

“I’ve never had the opportunity to sing my entire repertoire because I never have enough time onstage,” Don Omar told Billboard prior to kicking off his tour. “But this tour demands two full hours of music.”

His March concert at Barclays Center, on the first leg of his tour, was described by Billboard as: “His sold-out show, filled with energy and nostalgia, underlined his title as the King of Reggaetón, engaging the audience with a mix of his greatest hits and a captivating stage presence.

“Don Omar’s entrance was a spectacle in itself, with a gigantic, rotating skull serving as his dramatic lift onto the stage. The audience erupted into a standing ovation as he appeared, his figure accentuated by a striking black snakeskin trench coat trimmed with red fur, and rocking his iconic cornrows. His performance was both a homage to reggaetón’s legacy and a celebration of his monumental career.”

“The Kingdom” Daddy Yankee vs. Don Omar Tour; Stops Includes New York, Miami, Los Angeles

NEW YORK, (FNN NEWS) – Puerto Rican superstar Don Omar, puts an end to the rumors in an exclusive interview on the #1 radio station in the United States, Mega 97.9FM in New York property of Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (SBS) (Nasdaq: SBSA). Don Omar spoke with Alex Sensation host of the most-listened to radio show “La Mega Mezcla con Alex Sensation” on MEGA 97.9FM in New York City, which is broadcast simultaneously in South Florida on El NUEVO ZOL 106.7FM.

The artist confirmed exclusively during his interview that “The Kingdom” Daddy Yankee vs Don Omar tour will in fact take place on July 30th in New York City, August 6th in Miami and August 27th in Los Angeles, among other cities.

Rumors stemmed after Don Omar supposedly left the stage at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where he was appearing alongside Daddy Yankee for a performance. Don Omar’s actions could have been due to some differences that began during the recent Billboard Latin Music Awards, where both artists seemed somewhat distant. According to international media, rumor was that Don Omar had his back facing Daddy Yankee.

“I feel that I have the responsibility to my fans to set the record straight and explain what really went down that night. A lot of people thought I had left Vegas and that I left Daddy Yankee stranded on stage, but that’s not the truth. The fact is that Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world and anyone who’s had the opportunity to see a show in Vegas, knows that they all end at 11:30 at night, because for casinos their business is to have people gamble… so the venue turned on the lights, and when I saw that I said my goodbyes to the crowd,” confirmed Don Omar during his radio interview with Alex Sensation on Mega 97.9FM.

“The Vegas show was delayed an hour and a half, things that happen in production, that have nothing to do with Daddy Yankee and have nothing to do with Don Omar, and don’t have anything to do with any animosities between me and Daddy Yankee,” affirmed Don Omar. “I don’t control production, and I have nothing to do with them turning the lights on during the show, my show did not happen due to time constraints.”

Félix Cabrera Presenta and LaMusica production teams have confirmed the tour dates for “The Kingdom” Daddy Yankee vs Don Omar. The tour kicks off on July 30th at Madison Square Garden in New York City, then on August 6th at the American Airlines Arena in Miami and to Los Angeles on August 27th, as we all want to crown the real King of Reggaetón. The tickets for these huge concerts go on presale beginning June 9th on www.ticketmaster.com.

“The Kingdom”: Daddy Yankee vs Don Omar, is one of the most anticipated tours in the Hispanic market. The two stars joined forces for 60 stops and two years of international tour on December 5, 2015 in San Juan Puerto Rico.

Daddy Yankee and Don Omar have both taken reggaetón to mainstream and the general market. Among the two, they have 11 number one hits on the Billboard Latin Album charts, 28 top 10 hits on Hot Latin Songs chart, and more than 4 billion views combined in their VEVO channels. Don Omar has had innovative hits with “Danza Kuduro” and “Virtual Diva,” which have transcended culture boundaries. Likewise, Daddy Yankee has an arsenal of hits beginning with the famous “Gasolina” to his most recent single “Vaivén” and “Shaky Shaky,” which are moving up the charts.

After four sold-out concerts in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Daddy Yankee and Don Omar are prepared for the US leg of their tour.

Interfaith Group Asks Starbucks to Drop Vegan Milk Surcharge

BOSTON (AP) — A group of Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish leaders is asking Starbucks to stop charging extra for vegan milk alternatives, saying the practice amounts to a tax on people who have embraced plant-based lifestyles.

In a statement issued Friday, an interfaith coalition led by Nevada-based Hindu activist Rajan Zed pressed the coffee chain to end the surcharges it called “unethical and unfair.”

“A coffee company should not be in the business of taxing individuals who had chosen the plant-based lifestyle,” said Zed’s statement, which was also signed by Thomas W. Blake, an Episcopal priest; Greek Orthodox clergyman Stephen R. Karcher; Buddhist priest Matthew Fisher; and Jewish rabbi ElizaBeth Webb Beyer.

The religious leaders cited numerous reasons why some Starbucks customers prefer alternatives to dairy, including dietary restrictions, ethical issues, environmental concerns, lactose intolerance, milk allergies and animal welfare.

Those who want plant-based milk should not have to pay more, they said, calling on the Seattle-based company’s CEO, Howard Schultz, and board chair Mellody Hobson to immediately drop the surcharge.

Starbucks outlets in the United States typically charge 50 cents to a dollar more for drinks made with plant-based milks.

Starbucks doesn’t charge for a splash of nondairy milk, including soy milk, coconut milk, almond milk and oat milk, though it does levy a surcharge for customized beverages made largely with those substitutes, spokesperson Megan Adams told The Associated Press.

It is not the first time Starbucks’ surcharge has riled the public. On Tuesday, activist and actor James Cromwell glued his hand to the counter of a Starbucks franchise in New York City to protest the practice.

Cromwell, 81, later used a knife to scrape it off. Police said there were no arrests.
