Daddy Yankee dropped a massive lawsuit against his ex-wife, Mireddys González-Castellanos, and former manager Raphy Pina over what he claims was a 20-year hustle to steal his publishing money. The Puerto Rican rapper filed the complaint in federal court, alleging that Pina fraudulently added himself as a songwriter on 15 tracks he never actually wrote, then worked with González-Castellanos to doctor split sheets and funnel royalties into companies he controlled. The suit is asking for at least $3 million under RICO laws, plus orders to fix all the copyright records.
The whole thing apparently blew up after Daddy Yankee took back control of his labels and discovered his ex-wife had tried moving $100 million into personal accounts. His legal team found deleted emails covering years of business dealings, and they claim Pina basically ran a mob-style operation where he threatened artists with guns and repossessed cars when people questioned his authority.
