The presentation took place on November 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, recognizing the Puerto Rican superstar’s nearly three-decade career, his contributions to reggaeton, and his humanitarian work.
Jackson praised Daddy Yankee for helping introduce reggaeton to audiences around the world and creating opportunities for future generations of Latin artists.
