The lawsuit, filed on December 13 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, claims González withdrew:

  • $80 million from El Cartel Records account
  • $20 million from Los Cangris company account

The 16-page legal filing names three defendants:

  • Mireddys González (CEO of El Cartel Records)
  • Ayeicha González Castellanos (González's sister and company treasurer)
  • El Cartel Records

Key allegations include:

  • Unauthorized financial management
  • Withholding company information from Daddy Yankee
  • Improper consolidation of corporate power
  • Negligent business decisions
  • Unauthorized music catalog sale to Concord at below-market value

The reggaeton artist, whose real name is Ramón Luis Ayala Rodriguez, is seeking:

  • Immediate removal of defendants from corporate positions
  • Full access to company documentation
  • Return of control over his business interests

This legal action follows the recent announcement of Daddy Yankee and González's divorce after 20 years of marriage, during which González served as both El Cartel Records CEO and Daddy Yankee's manager.
