Controversy

In a 2010 Facebook video, former collaborator Eddie Ávila (previously known as Eddie Dee) was asked about his relation with Daddy Yankee. He stated that, following creative differences between both that started in 2005 (with 2007 being the last time both communicated), he released a single in 2009 for his ultimately unreleased mixtape ''180 Grados'', entitled "Eso No Va Conmigo". Though not a diss track, Ávila has confirmed to have dissed Yankee in certain lines. This was because Ávila had been announcing his single when Yankee released "Grito Mundial" on the same date as Ávila's single, effectively overshadowing the latter. Angered and denying it to be a coincidence, Ávila changed some lines in his single in order to be directed towards Yankee. He considers this event as the motive, as he originally didn't reference his former ally.
