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!

    Is it really so hard to believe that someone (a celebrity in particular) doesn't want to endorse Obama? Shocking! Not everyone is an Obama Acolylte.

    Biased much Perez!



  8. 8

    Is he completely retarded? has he done any research on the republican camp???!!! they are the same people who have contributed to the suffrage of the latin community..and Douchebag Yankees ancestors. what a moron.



  9. 9

    BOOORING!!!!!

    No it's up sometimes it takes a while to load up. I agree Daddy Wanker Is a cunt.



  14. 14

    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!



  15. 15

    Why is this douche relevant again?!



  16. 16

  20. 20

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



  21. 21

    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.



  23. 23

    Re: dasa – 50 is into having sex not into making love and he wants you to come get you what you need

    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!

    OH GOSH… JUST WHAT WE NEEDED MORE CLOWNS GOING IN POLITICS….



  26. 26

    OBAMA'S CAMP CAMP NEVER APPROACHES ANY ARTIST.. YANKEE IS A DAME LIE… AND IM SURE WHEN MOST AFRICAN-AMERICAN RAP ARTIST FIND OUT ABOUT THIS… PUERTO RICO WILL BE THE ONLY PLACE THAT DICK WILL BE ABLE TO PERFORM!



  27. 27

    Man, if I was McCain I would just drop out. Seriously, who is going for him that is anything other than weirdo. I would be embarassed if I was McCain. First HEidi and Spencer now this creep. Real good.



  28. 28

    This idiot needs to shut up!!



  29. 29

    Re: BelleMorte – Why would you think McCain should drop out when he and Obama are tied in the polls?



  30. 30

    I HEARD "ANDY" HAS THE BUG! SO MAKE SURE U WEAR A CONDOM WHEN DOIN' HIM FAGS.

  31. Minx says – reply to this

  33. 33

  34. 34

    Who is daddy yankee?



  35. 35

    Por favor, Daddy Yankee should keep his pie hole just to "rap", It looks to me he is branching ,and like they do all this people he is designing clothing,I guess he bought a baseball team here in PR,and also got a movie out, So is like this he is full of BS, if anything he should be a Democrat to bring good to this crime infested island, DUE to his music!!!

    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



  38. 38

    Daddy Yankee is garbage…

    Do people even listen to his shit anyways?

    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……..

    Perez wrote - "We find it hard to believe that Obama's people would want to be associated with Daddy Yankee!"
    -
    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.



  51. 51

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



  52. 52

    Daddy RETARD!!!



  53. 53

    sneaker pimps?



  54. 54

    this is the most publicity he's gotten in forever, and he just looks like an idiot.



  55. 55

    Why is this nobody of a DOUCHE even being talked about?!?!

    56

    Re: greasyguide – HE'S NOT A Z-LISTER HE IS KNOWN WORLD WIDE, EXCEPT IN THE US BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE DON'T SPEAK SPANISH!! ANYWAY HE IS A DOUCHE BECAUSE WE DON'T VOTE AND BY ALL MEANS, IF WE WERE TO VOTE, WE WOULDN'T BE VOTING FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!! . DADDY… YOU'RE A MORON . AND PUERTO RICO WANTS IT'S INDEPENDENCEEEEE!!



  57. 57

    what a douche… all i can say is thank goodness PR can't vote in the general election!!!



  58. 58

    Daddy Yankee seems like the type of person that would think a hooker was into him just because she was friendly. Too bad the person who shot him had a bad aim… he needs to not have access to any mainstream media, he's poisoning the people



  59. 59

    This bitch lost all gay fans, all Latino fans and all black fans with this shit. He's over ANYway—but this only nails his coffin shut.



  60. 60

    I heard Obama wasn't satisfied with support from Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Goeoge Clooney, Brad Pitt, ScarJo, Streisand, etc. Nope, Obama had to have Yankeedoodle's non vote counting ass on the campaign.

    Who is this dopey looking PR fag anyway? He acts like he's won a dozen grammys.



  61. 61

    What a jackass, this pendejo's career ran out of "Gasolina" a long time ago. So, so low. Idiot can't even vote, why the fuck would he endorse anyone.



  62. 62

    On behalf of the Music Industry, Daddy Yankee can go fuck himself.I guess this jerkoff does'nt understand how McCain is not in the interest of the average American or Puerto Ricans.Hopefully there is no more of you that will endorse McCain.Its a good thing he is registered in Florida.
    Yours Truly,
    LOS ANGELES, where we vote OBAMA bitch.



  63. 63

    You said: "We find it hard to believe that Obama's people would want to be associated with Daddy Yankee"

    Of course not, Obama really wants to be associated with:
    Reverend Wright
    Rev James Meeks
    To the New Black Panther Party
    Terrorist William Ayers
    To his wife: "Proud of her coutnry for the very first time" Michelle.

    Shoul I keep on?



  64. 64

    WOW PEREZ…hOW SAD ARE YOU..yOU CAN MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT pUERTO rICANS BUT IF SOMEONE MAKES A COMMENT ABOUT CUBANS YOU SENSOR THE COMMENT OUT…WOW. WHATS THE MATTER..YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TALK SHIT ABOUT SOMEONE..YOU DELETED THE 2 COMMENTS I MADE EARLIER.I

    Re: YoMomma

    careful….cause we Puerto Ricans and minorities are taking over the US…adn just in case…FU gringa!!!!! i bet everytime you see one hispanic, asian, african, etc, get scared cause we are taking over ur country pendeja!! u better check ur family tree…there might be some hispanic (hopefully not! to not damage la raza!) in it!



  66. 66

    Re: YoMomma – F U TOO GRINGA!



  67. 67

    i believe it.. PR still does campaigning old school with music blaring the names of canidates out of decorated vans… I went to PR in May and while Clintons song was salsa Obama had a reggaeton song… Who better to make you a Reggaeton song than Daddy Yankee?????



  68. 68

    Right…but it's better to have Jeremiah Wright on your side?

    WTF. Sometimes people take the time to look at both sides of the story.

    Both sides have their faults. Open your eyes and look at Obama's flaws for once.

    I think if Foghorn Leghorn was running for president in the Democratic party, you would vote for him too even if he just crowed all day. Just because he's a democrat.



  69. 69

    FFS! I don't vote based on which celebrity endorses which candidate. I could care less what "Daddy Yankee" thinks, that is if he has a intelligent thought in his head. I've never really understood the whole Hollywood endorsement thing. I guess some people need others to think for them. God, I pray we don't have another 4 years of the Republican party. We would be so screwed.



  70. 70

    i DONT CARE who this punk votes for, as long as HE and other reggaeton artists and RAP artists STOP making music, its annoying to hear their shit thumping thru the walls.



  71. 71

    dude! daddy yankee sucks! who calls themselves daddy in a stage name anyway?



  72. 72

    Who cares about this dumbass??



  73. 73

    who gives a shit! DADDY YANKEE IS WACK!!!!! i fuckin hate reggaeton!



  74. 74

    what does this illiterate know about politics? he can't even speak English correctly. He's voting for him because McCain paid a lil attention to him, and now he feels important. umm he did that so he can get you to endorse him. He don't care about you, or your 'people' - he watched boxing with you because that's the only thing two men with different backgrounds could relate on… sports.
    weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepa! lol



  75. 75

    ReggueWHAT Daddy WHO? who GIVES A SHIT? except for the 5 or 6 ricans who buy his…cassettes?



  76. 76

    Um. This guy needs to get a new "name". Then he needs to get out of the spotlight because what the hell is he? And if he is not even American then why is he involved with anything to do with the elections anyway?

    "Yankee considered all the proposals and he liked McCain's."

    …Yeah, he probably paid the most!

  80. 80

    YAH, I AM SURE DADDY YANKEE WAS ON THE TOP OF ALL THE CANIDATES LIST OF ENDORSERS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S SOME FUNNY SHIT!



  81. 81

    Again, this doesn't change the fact that the guy appears to have less of a brain than an emu. WHO CARES ABOUT HIM…. next.



  82. 82

    question… why is this guy even in the news??? lol who cares wut this guy is doing. he's a clown.

  83. Lor says – reply to this


    83

    Fuck him and his shit music. Latino's are notoriously predujiced against folks only a few shades darken than themselves. Maybe they hate the color in themselves, so they externalize it.



  84. 84

    WHO CARES WHO HE ENDORSES! WHO IS DADDY YANKEE. WHEN I HEARD HIM SPEAK AT THE HIGH SCHOOL WITH JOHN MCCAIN BESIDE HIM I THOUGHT, WOW HE DOESNT EVEN SOUND EDUCATED ENOUGH TO BE VOTING. I DONT THINK HE HAS LISTENED TO ANYTHING THAT MCCAIN OR OBAMA HAS SAID STUPID, I WOULD NOT WANT HIM ENDORSING ME!



  85. 85

    His greasy dumbass….yeah, bitch, the Republicans have REALLY done a lot for the "Latino Community"(gag!). They hire you guys as maids and gardeners, but Republicans don't give a shit about "Latins" unless it is for baseball or to clean a house.

    Scraping the bottom of the barrel McCain. Reggaeton is garbage. I wanna gouge my ears out whenever I hear that low class trash music. Even that stupid ass I-O Digital Cable(Optimum Online) commercial makes me want to destroy.



  86. 86

    Okay, I couldn't give two sh*ts about who Daddy Yankee endorses. I'm sure he really knows a lot about politics anyways. Wow, I'm sorry, but this is not news that should be featured on your site, Perez.



  87. 87

    the Obamas have William Ayers, Bernadette Dorn, Tony Rezko, Pastor Wright, father Plfleger and they didn't want Daddy Yankees support because he didn't pass vetting? Cmon For real you believe that. I'm with daddy yankee on this one even though I can't stand his music.



  88. 88

    Wow…… I used to like him

  95. 95

    DY's reps logic doesn't pass the sniff test. McCain had locked up the nomination long before the PR primary. Oh wait, the Republicans don't have a PR primary. Why in the world would he get an endorsement from DY in AZ as opposed to, oh, NY where there is a HUGE population of Puerto Ricans?

    i think this is hilarious
    being Latina, i don't belive this crap
    McCain probably coughed up more money
    Just because he told Yankee that he saw alot of hispanics die in the war doesn't mean that he cares for us
