Daddy

In
related news, Daddy Yankee denied rumors spreading
that he burned a Mexican flag at a recent concert.
"Recently,
a malicious and false rumor has been spread
with the only purpose of affecting my relationship
with the Mexican community and jeopardizing
my reputation as a serious and responsible artist,"
Daddy Yankee said in a statement. "The
rumor sustains that I allegedly burned a Mexican
flag in a recent performance in this country.
This has never occurred. Under [no] circumstances,
would I commit such a barbaric act, first, because
I have great respect for the Mexican people
and all nationalities of the world and I am
incapable of showing a lack of respect by committing
such a deplorable act. Secondly, it is physically
impossible for this to have occurred since I
have not visited Mexico since March 2005, due
to the demands of my work schedule, which has
included among other things recording and launching
of my latest album, Barrio Fino en Directo;
the filming of my movie 'Straight From the Barrio,'
launching of my new line of clothing with Reebok
and my radio program On Fuego."
