In separate social media posts, the reggaeton stars shared their appreciation for one another and squashed their beef. “Today we close the book that kept the best chapters of our controversial rivalry,” the "Danza Kuduro" artist wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of Yankee, 47, smiling. “Thank you for your words and for listening to mine that came from the heart as well. I wish you the best for you and your family. Thank you for your competitiveness and admirable discipline but even more thank you for what you did for our music.” Don Omar continued: “Thank you for collaborating and for competing because I did it with a titan. I keep the good memories, the laughs, the dreams together and the desire for a last round with such a great adversary. We will meet again soon because I owe you a hug and thank you in person. In the meantime, long live King Daddy.” Close
