The "Gasolina" hitmaker first confirmed the heartbreaking news in a video on YouTube in March. At that time, he said he finally saw the finish line.
"Now, I am going to enjoy what all of you have given me. People say that I made this genre worldwide, but it was you who gave me the key to open the doors to make it the biggest in the world," he said.
Daddy Yankee then announced his last tour and album, with the latter showcasing his styles and genres all at once.
He famously coined the word "reggaeton" in 1991, a year after his debut. In his early career days, he wanted to imitate Vico C's rap style but went on to compete with other artists instead, including DJ Nelson, Tempo, and DJ Platero.
