Soon, it'll be Daddy's House

We're not sure where Daddy Yankee got his name, but he must be regretting it by now. For someone so dedicated to keeping his family life separate from his celebrity status, he doesn't complain about hearing both his son and crowds of teenage girls scream "Daddy."

But then, the "Big Boss" has always been an erratic parent. Every other interview, the father of reggaeton likes to emphasize that his latest album is "not just reggaeton."

We know you've got your own fragrance these days, but don't be so quick to disown the barrio style, Daddy. The music you sired may be responsible for a lot of unwanted pregnancies, but it just needs a little guidance.

Daddy Yankee plays the House of Blues April 4. Tickets are $52 advance, $55 day of show, on sale Saturday.
