When Daddy Yankee endorsed John McCain for the Presidency, we laughed and made fun of both, but Fat Joe took the matter a bit more personal calling Daddy Yankee a sell-out.
From an interview with MTV-NEWS we get the following:
"I opened the newspaper and got sick to my stomach," Joe continued. "I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that. The reason why I called him a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We're fighting an unjust war. It's the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war. ... We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war. If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he'll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he's just not educated on politics."
Daddy Yankee, at first did not respond, his publicist claiming he was unreachable outside the country (don't you just hate when that happens).
However, Daddy Yankee has now just responded:
"McCain is the kind of man whose promises you can actually believe in. I'll support him till the end. I don't care who I piss off. This is about my ideals, not about making friends."
Daddy Yankee, who has resented that Calle 13 is considered the more intellectual artist in his genre, to his credit has tried to be more political lately but for someone who brags of growing up in the ghetto, his knowledge of politics and everyday issues seems to dwindle with every million he makes.

It was obviously a publicity ploy by Daddy Yankee. He didn't even mention McCain onstage ONCE during his entire show at the Republican Convention, which shows he is now trying to hide from the criticism of his stupid decision. What a dumb schmuck - he deserves to lose his fanbase.
Read this article. My friend was inside the Daddy Yankee/RNC show and verified that this is all true.

Well, according to the rumors he first offered himself to Obama's campaign, but wanted money and was told to go fuck himself. So he went to McCain who supposedly paid him for the endorsement.
Daddy Yankee is one of the most stupid singer in the history, I have never listened similar garbage!come on!! please DO NOT SING MORE!
