Daddy Yankee honoured with Hall of Fame at Billboard Latin Music Awards 2021

New York, Sep 24 (IANS) Just ahead of officially entering the Billboard Latin Music Awards Hall of Fame, Daddy Yankee reminded the world why he's 'El Jefe' at the 2021 Billboard Latin Music Awards on Thursday night in Miami, reports Billboard.com.

Rolling up to the Watsco Center stage in a subway car thanks to some clever visual trickery, Yankee ran through his new single 'M?tele Al Perreo' from his upcoming album.

After the performance, Yankee accepted the Hall of Fame honor.

During a Q&A with Billboard VP/Latin Industry Lead Leila Cobo the day prior, DY said he's "still working on" the album that 'M?tele Al Perreo' hails from, but "we're almost at the end."

Ram?n Luis Ayala Rodr?guez known professionally as Daddy Yankee, is a Puerto Rican singer, songwriter and rapper.
