On the morning of Tuesday, October 17, the renowned singer and songwriter Nicky Jam announced through his social networks his retirement from music. The Puerto Rican reported the news with a video from his series Nicky Jam: El Ganador.

In addition, the artist reported that he will present his latest album and give his fans one last concert tour: “My people, I will retire soon but this is my legacy Motivation and Overcoming… coming soon My last Global Tour, and my Last Album I Love You ”was his message on his Instagram account.

Immediately the reactions of his followers generated a revolution when faced with the news, “Thank you for everything, legend!!! One of those who made me fall in love with reggeaton, then you shook my hand and recorded with me, thank you very much Nicky”; “In my eyes the best! the one who first heard of the genre and the most handsome of all. My Nicky… tell me daddy!!!”; “Nickyjam, you are a Warrior of God who, at your young age and despite the challenges, dared to challenge the challenges of life. Good example to follow of those who persevere succeed”: were some of the messages.

At the moment it is not known which countries he will visit or the date of the new album, but there is expectation of its announcement.

It must be remembered that on the weekend of October 14, 15 and 16, the composer was in Villavicencio as a special guest at the Joropo International Tournament, where he performed and sang his most recent hits, such as Calor, a song that he has together with the Barranquilla Beéle. The musical piece already has more than 8M views on YouTube.

At the event, a fan managed to sneak onto the stage, while the singer was performing Mischief. The young man was identified as Andrés Jaramillo, who went up illegally to meet the artist. The surprise was that the Puerto Rican received him with a big hug and asked his security team to leave him for a while sharing with him and singing alongside him.

It is important to highlight that Nicky Jam, one of the singers with the longest career in the urban genre today, has more than 28 years of experience in the music industry.

In his beginnings in the 90s when he met Daddy Yankee, with whom he formed the legendary duo ‘Los Cangris’. Vamos A Perrear, En la Cama and Yo No Soy Tu Husband are some of the songs that are considered true reggaeton classics.

Throughout his career, Nicky Jam has faced very challenging moments, but he found new momentum in Colombia, a country that welcomed him and gave him a second chance. In addition, this experience allowed her to carry out various collaborations with Colombian artists, including Karol G when the singer was taking her first steps in the music industry.

After the Billboard Latin Music Awards took place, where the Puerto Rican singer has shown to have great talent for conducting interviews, he had the opportunity to talk with one of the living legends of the urban genre, Ivy Queen. La Cabalota, as she is also known, received the Icon award. During her conversation, the 42-year-old reggaeton player recalled a situation that he experienced with Karol G when she was barely 15 years old.

Nicky Jam revealed that the first time he met Karol G was during a presentation at a nightclub in Medellín. It was at that moment that the Colombian approached him and asked if they could sing together. However, what surprised the American artist most was that she, being so young at the time, could have entered that place.
