“Tú no metes cabra” literally means “you don’t let the goat in,” a colorful Puerto Rican way of saying “you’re not tough, you don’t scare anyone.” In this live collaboration, Daddy Yankee and Bad Bunny turn that street catchphrase into a rapid-fire challenge to anyone faking the gangster lifestyle. Over a pounding beat and roaring crowd, they mock their rivals, flaunt their own success and toss in playful pop-culture nods—from luxury brands to Game of Thrones—just to show how effortlessly they dominate the conversation.
Beneath the bravado, the song also throws sharp jabs at corruption and power. Yankee compares his lyrical rule to infamous dictators, while Bad Bunny boasts about wealth and fame that no hater can touch. The overall vibe is part victory lap, part warning: if you’re only pretending to be hardcore, step aside. The energy, wordplay and live performance make it a bold anthem of authenticity and swagger that keeps the audience shouting the hook right back at them.
Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, known professionally as Daddy Yankee, is a pioneering Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter born on February 3, 1976, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Often hailed as the King of Reggaeton, he brought the genre to global prominence with his 2004 international hit "Gasolina," which played a crucial role in making reggaeton a worldwide phenomenon.
With a career spanning over three decades, Daddy Yankee has sold around 30 million records and earned numerous awards, including five Latin Grammy Awards. His 2017 collaboration on the record-breaking single "Despacito" further cemented his place as a global Latin music icon. Known for his powerful influence on Hispanic urban music, Daddy Yankee officially retired in December 2023 after his final tour in Puerto Rico, leaving behind a lasting legacy in Latin music.
