Daddy Yankee: "The Democrats Are Lying!"

Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > John McCain

wenn1867060.jpg

As we mentioned yesterday, Presidential hopeful John McCain has an endorsement from Puerto Rican Reggaeton musician Daddy Yankee.

Though we've since come to find out that the McCain lover had originally offered to endorse and perform for Barack Obama.

Now, Daddy Yankee's rep is denying the reports of any initial Obama support.

Mayna Nevarez says that the story "is completely false. Our camp never approached the Obama camp. The Obama and Clinton camps were calling our office before the Puerto Rican primary, trying to get Yankee to endorse them. The McCain camp approached us, as well."

We find it hard to believe that Obama's people would want to be associated with Daddy Yankee!

Nevarez adds, "Yankee considered all the proposals and he liked McCain's. That's why he decided to endorse him. There was never an offer to endorse Obama. That never happened."

Spin spin, sugar!

    Ok, now you're pissing me off P!! It makes total sense that ALL camps would approach a Puerto Rican before the Puerto Rico primaries. . . but that is hard for you to believe? Aren't you familiar with the ways of ass kissing?!? :) I love you man but drop this story before we show you the vast amounts of criminal, terroristic, unpatriotic, and racist sides to people that Obama has embraced!

    ummmmmm daddy needs to go back to his mommy and she needs to put him in time out for being an idiot

    Honestly, I would consider Obama more likely than McCain to approach Daddy Yankee about an endorsement. Republicans tend to be a lot more harsh on people with criminal records, in general, and they also have that whole "not appealing to the younger generation" thing. They just said that there was a primary in PR, so there WOULD be a logical reason to seek out a Puerto Rican figure to support either candidate. And shit, there aren't just people under 18 that are fans of Daddy Yankee. I was a freshman in high school when his music was getting really popular, and of voting age now– and I considered myself on the younger edge of Yankee's fan spectrum. Not everyone that is associated with Republicans or McCain is shady, Perez! Your bias is showing, like, hugely.

  22. 22

    I love when self-important celebrities think that their political leanings should/will influence the thinking of anybody else. I wish I could be that self-involved and clueless about my place in society.

    QUOTE: "Yankee considered all the proposals and he liked McCain's. That's why he decided to endorse him.

    Obviously his "endorsement" has absolutely nothing to do with Politics-that's fucking hysterical!

    Thirty Fourth! JOHN McCAIN HAS AIDS AND A JUNKIE TWAT OF A WIFE!

    Also, what the fuck is Yankee Doodle Dandy and why should we care what a Retardaton "artist" thinks about politcs. Bet his family came over on a wooden door too. Dumb fucks.

  37. 37

    Yeah, get your voting advice from DaddyYankee. How stupid. Stop listening to everyone else's opinion, and make up your own mind based on the issues. Is't not complicated, but if you are going to be lazy and just use politics as fodder for gossip, then you better not be bitching about the next administration.
    :l

    Daddy Yankee is garbage…

    I admire this guy for standing up for what he believes in, even though he knows he will be attacked.

  41. 41

    Daddy Wackee is not a star. He is on the Z list and should shut the fuck up. We love you Perez but stop giving this nobody air time on your blog.

  42. 42

    don't you know that there is more tension between blacks and latinos than say, whites and blacks or whites and latinos.
    .
    him supporting mccain isn't that astonishing considering..

  43. 43

    HE'S A DUMBASS!!! PUERTO RICO DOESN'T EVEN VOTE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION!!

  44. 44

    yum! i wanna taste daddy's burrito!!

  45. 45

    oh no Perez, quick, stop writing about him before this gets out of control!

  46. 46

    Re: Ms. McGillicutty – You're right! I live in Dallas and earlier in the year, a lot of prominent Latinos were saying they were behind Clinton and would never back Obama. That may have changed now that he is the Democratic candidate though. Who knows?

  47. 47

    Who is this guy?

  48. 48

    why does it matter who is endorsing whom? it's not like i chose who to vote for by who has "more famous" or "better" celebrities voting for them. we should chose our future president based on their VIEWS! NOT celebrities.

  49. 49

    It's soooo easy for the government to control ignorant people……..

    -
    Really?? Obama's spiritual leader for 20 years was the esteemed Rev. Jeremiah Wright (God Damn America, God Damn America, God Damn America). And, Obama launched his political career at the home of former terrorist William Ayers who exploded a bomb in a women's restroom at the Pentagon and later bombed a NYC Police police station. Sounds like Daddy Yankee would fit the mold. So why is it hard to believe Obama would seek the support of Yank-Diddy in the run-up to the Puerto Rico primary held June 1? The race was still hotly contested at the time and the help of a popular entertainer would go along way. Don't be naive Miss Pee.

    I dont feel either candidate is fit for the job…makes me not want to vote.
