Renowned Puerto Rican rapper, Daddy Yankee, most recently known for his smash 2017 hit “Despacito,” was supposedly robbed of two million three hundred thousand dollars’ worth of jewelleries after a man posing as him instructed the hotel staff in Spain to open the room’s safe.
The robbery which occurred at a hotel in Spain was confirmed by the artist’s press office in a tweet Thursday.
“The press office @daddy_yankee confirms that the artist has been a victim of a robbery while he was outside his hotel in Valencia, Spain. A law firm has already been hired and no further declarations will be given so as not to hinder the investigation in any way,” the translated tweet read.
