For Mireddys and Raphy Pina? Daddy Yankee sends a message in his new album: "You visit him in prison, then he turns on you."

Daddy Yankee has released his first Christian album, Lamento en baile, marking an unexpected turn in his career. However, far from the spiritual calm that many anticipated, one of the songs, “Jezabel y Judas”, has sparked controversy due to its lyrics filled with symbolism and reproach. The track combines biblical references with a confrontational tone, and fans quickly linked it to his breakup with Mireddys González and his estrangement from producer Raphy Pina.

Among the most discussed verses, one stands out as it seems to directly refer to Pina: “You feed Judas, you even save his life / You visit him in jail, then he turns against you”. The phrase has drawn attention because the producer served time in prison, and Daddy Yankee was one of the visitors, a gesture that many now interpret as a reminder of betrayal. The singer also throws jabs at a female figure with lines like “Fatal, poisonous, manipulative, and cruel” and “She plays the victim so well,” which followers associate with his ex-wife.

The host Enrique Santos sparked controversy on Instagram by questioning whether the song was a "diss track" aimed at his ex and Pina, triggering thousands of divided comments. While some applaud the artist's sincerity, others criticize him for blending his religious message with personal matters. In the song, Yankee also hints at a learning process with phrases like: “Betrayal gave me the guidance to acquire wisdom and apply it every day.”

The release comes amid the legal battle between the reggaeton artist and Mireddys González, with whom he is in dispute over the management of funds from his businesses. In one of the lawsuits filed by the artist, unauthorized million-dollar transfers are mentioned, and Raphy Pina is also identified for his involvement in the management of El Cartel Records and Los Cangris Inc.

Since the highly publicized legal battle between Mireddys and Daddy Yankee began, the producer has shown his support for her, and it's common to see them sharing family moments. Recently, the singer's ex-wife attended the baby shower that Pina and Natti Natasha organized for their second daughter, a public display of the closeness between them.

“Jezabel and Judas” showcases a more introspective yet still combative Daddy Yankee, who uses his faith to exorcise his past. With verses like “The Jezebels are eaten alive by dogs, and the Judases, the Judases hang themselves”, the artist seems to make it clear that forgiveness does not erase memory. His return to music signifies not only a spiritual shift but also a method of healing personal and emotional wounds.

Although the rest of the album maintains a more hopeful tone, this track confirms that the "Big Boss" remains true to his straightforward style. Caught between redemption and revenge, Daddy Yankee shows that even in his new chapter with God, he does not forget those who betrayed him.
