Daddy Yankee Denies Santeria Claim
Daddy Yankee wants to make it very clear…he does not practice Santeria.
Apparently, TVyNovelas published a story about Daddy saying that he was practicing Santeria, and he wasn’t going to take that sitting down.
He held a press conference in which he said:
“I am, one million percent, a man of Cristian beliefs. Nobody should play with God or my religious beliefs.”
He was very careful not to insult and said that he has friends that practice Santeria…but it’s just not his thing.

Who ever first reported this must didn’t have a life and must have believed in anything that someone else said. What Daddy Yankee does in his personal life and what belief he has when it comes to God is his own business and right whether we agree or not.
DY shouldn’t even have to defend himself on this, but I see why as others trying to player hate him with his new album coming out. What people will pull to try and discredit someone. Go on DY and kick some a** because you know you are good at what you do!

His comments really show the negative stereotypes and lack of tolerance regarding Santeria. What’s wrong if he does practice Santeria? Is that a crime? Would he have reacted the same way if the magazine had said he was a Buddhist?? I watched his “press conference” and he said he “respected” those who practice Santeria and had nothing against it, but accused the magazine of “defamation”. Where’s the so-called respect?

He knows he is in the religion. He just doesn’t want that to effect his career or his image. He needs to embrace that he probably does practiceSanteria. It’s not a bad thing it’s acatually a good thing.I’m in the religion I would never say that I wasn’t in it. I total agree with Jose. If i was famous like him. I would total say Yes I do practice Santeria.And I’m proud of it.
