Daddy Yankee might be busy with the filming of his new music video "Shaky" and his joint tour with Don Omar, but he is also aware of the tragic situation in Orlando, Fla. (home of "La Voz Kids," where he is a judge).
Four days have passed since the tragedy at gay nightclub Pulse, where at around 2 a.m. Sunday 29-year-old Omar Mateen opened fire and killed 49 people and left more than 50 wounded. The gruesome terror act has been called the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
Celebrities such as Ricky Martin, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Adele have used their platform to voice their thoughts and send messages of love, hope and world peace. El Cangri is also in the loop, sending Bryan Lopez, one of the 53 survivors who were rushed to the hospital, a very loving message.
"We are with you Bryan. Much blessings, Puerto Rico loves you, we support you and continue ahead," he said in a video published earlier this week on YouTube. In the 30-second clip, King Daddy wished Lopez a speedy recovery, sent him positive vibes and lots of motivation. "Believe in God always, your family is with you, the country is with you. You just need to believe in yourself, your mind and your heart," the Puerto Rican urban artist stated.
Lopez, 25, along with his friends Kenneth Michael, Instagram user Jr0dxx, Amanda Alvear and Mercedez Flores, were all at the club the night the tragedy occurred. Michael, Jr. and Lopez all survived the attack. Unfortunately, Alvear and Flores were two of the 49 victims killed in the shooting.
Since, a Snapchat video posted by Alvear prior to her passing has gone viral. The video shows a confused young girl while gunshots are heard in the background.
Many posts have been shared on Instagram showcasing Lopez's stable condition at the hospital. "Our brotherhood has definitely grown to be stronger than ever!" expressed his buddy on Instagram.
"We may not have our two sisters in person, but we definitely hold them at heart. I love you guys with all my heart and I'm grateful to have you all safe and doing well," he added.
