Retiring reggaeton rapper Daddy Yankee, one of the top-selling Latin music artists, revealed to fans that he’s found a new purpose by embracing his Christian faith at his farewell concert in Puerto Rico on Sunday.

“Tonight, I recognize, and I am not ashamed to tell the whole world that Jesus lives in me and that I will live for Him,” said Ramon Ayala, who declared in a heartfelt speech at The Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan that he’s no longer going by his stage name, Daddy Yankee.
