Don Omar Sets Record Straight On Daddy Yankee Feud, 'I Didn't Leave Him Stranded On Stage'

Puerto Rican superstar, Don Omar, put an end to the rumors in an exclusive interview on “La Mega Mezcla con Alex Sensation” on Mega 97.9FM. During his interview, the artist confirmed exclusively that “The Kingdom" Daddy Yankee vs Don Omar tour will in fact take place on July 30 in New York City, August 6 in Miami and August 27 in Los Angeles, among other cities.

Rumors that the joint tour wouldn’t happen 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. Some assumed 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.

"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,” Don Omar began explaining. “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,” he continued.

“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,” Omar insisted. "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.”

"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.
