“To all my fans worldwide, I want to thank you very much for your support and for opening the doors not only to me but to a whole movement from scratch,” Daddy Yankee said during his final show in Miami. “I remember when I was 13 or 14 years old, I was a kid with a vision, many dreams and aspirations. And as time went by, I saw beautiful audiences worldwide. Looking back, I can say it was worth the effort and sacrifice.”
