"I would rather be the tail of a lion than the head of a mouse."
~ Daddy Yankee
Influential Puerto Rican singer, songwriter, and rapper, Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez or Daddy Yankee is known as the "King of Reggaetón" -- a new kind of music genre that Daddy Yankee named in 1994.
Daddy Yankee is listed all over the internet at 5-feet-7 inches tall -- and for a reason, it seems.
From what little we have seen of him, Mr. Yankee certainly looks like he belongs in the elite 5-feet-7 inch neighborhood -- except on the southern end of it.
The real height of Daddy Yankee is
5'6¾" or 169 cm
