Janet Jackson Surprises Daddy Yankee With Tribute at 2026 Latin Grammys
Janet Jackson made a surprise appearance at the 2026 Latin Grammy Awards to present Daddy Yankee with the Person of the Year award. She praised the Puerto Rican star for taking reggaetón to audiences worldwide and inspiring a generation of artists. The pair previously collaborated on the 2018 song “Made for Now.” Daddy Yankee thanked Jackson and reflected on reggaetón’s journey from underground music to global recognition. He also recalled his childhood dream of becoming a professional baseball player, joking that he had instead reached the big leagues of the Grammys. The tribute included performances of several of his hits, with appearances by artists including Bizarrap, Feid, Bad Gyal and LL Cool J. The honour follows his 2022 retirement announcement and later return to music with a faith-inspired direction.
