Daddy Yankee has filed legal motions in Puerto Rico against his estranged wife, Mireddys González, alleging unauthorized withdrawals totaling nearly $100 million from his business accounts.

The reggaeton star's filing, submitted on December 13, claims González withdrew $80 million from his El Cartel Records account and an additional $20 million from his Los Cangris company account. The legal action also names González's sister, Ayeicha González Castellanos, who serves as secretary and treasurer at El Cartel Records.
The 16-page document alleges that González, who served as CEO of El Cartel Records and Daddy Yankee's manager, made these withdrawals despite explicit warnings to cease financial management activities. The filing states that Rodriguez (Daddy Yankee's legal name) has been denied access to financial information about his own companies and earnings.
Additionally, González is accused of hiring an unauthorized third party to handle the sale of Rodriguez's music catalog to Concord in October, allegedly at a price "far below the real value."
The legal motion seeks:
- Immediate removal of González and her sister from corporate positions
- Full access to withheld financial documentation
- Court intervention to prevent further unauthorized transactions
This legal battle comes amid the couple's divorce after 20 years of marriage, which Rodriguez recently announced through his lawyers.
