Daddy Yankee has turned down the opportunity to support his choice for President, John McCain, in a debate against Latino rapper Fat Joe.

After media mogul Rupert Murdoch put a stop to the already inked deal for the two to debate, MTV Tr3s stepped up to the plate and pitched to both Fat Joe and Daddy Yankee for the debate to take place on their channel.

While Fat Joe agreed, Daddy Yankee turned down the request due to being too busy promoting his upcoming movie ‘Talento de Barrio’ in Latin America.

Fat Joe previously took a stab at Daddy Yankee, calling him a “sellout” for his endorsement of John McCain.

  • Why should there be a debate about this issue? Daddy Yankee has his own beliefs and Fat Joe has his own why can’t they leave it like that? This is America the home of the free. The debate will just turn into bashing. I don’’t realy think they can put together a good debate and if they did I would watch to see what is siad. How can you realy be a sellout to your own ideas. When you vote you chose the man who will do good for you. So if Daddy Yankee want to go

  • Yankee doesnt know sh1t about politics. Fat Joe prolly doenst know either, but im sure he would humiliated Yankee. Fat Joe is an old cat who grew up in NYC. thats should give him enough knowledge about the issue. Yankee grew up in the barrio. prolly didnt watch tv untill he got rich.
