Whenever Don Omar makes headlines, it’s usually for a good reason: the release of a new studio album, a collaboration, or the announcement of upcoming tour dates. But this time, the Puerto Rican artist is in the spotlight for news that diverges from the positive.
Don Omar has announced on social media that he is battling cancer. He shared a photo of one of his wrists displaying a hospital admission bracelet from Orlando Health Center in the United States.
«Today yes, but tomorrow I won’t have cancer. Good intentions are well received. See you soon. #fuckcancer,» added the Puerto Rican in the photo’s caption.
The news has sparked an outpouring of comments and messages of support from fans and colleagues alike. «How?» Juan Magán asks in shock, with an emoji of two people hugging. «God be with you, Will. You’re a warrior,» adds another. «Keep your head up, brother. Health is a blessing,» says Sean Paul.
Don Omar is one of the biggest legends of reggaeton. His music has traveled around the world and inspired generations of artists who now thrive on digital platforms. Alongside Daddy Yankee and other faces, he laid the foundations of a genre that, although once frowned upon, has paved a path filled with lights and joys for all his fans. Songs like «Dile,» «Dale Don,» and «Salió El Sol» are just a few titles that have made history internationally and accumulated millions of streams.
At 46 years old, he has shown that nothing and no one can diminish his passion for music. That same passion has earned him numerous accolades and achievements in his nearly 30-year career.
