The chubby Puerto Rican boy of reggaeton: The year after he released the song Pepas, the biggest international hit of his career, he said he would quit music. Because he had turned to religion and felt dissatisfaction/regret with the lyrics in his songs.
It was April 2018: Famous Puerto Rican singer Farruko was accused of smuggling 52 thousand dollars into the country in his bag and spare shoes while returning to Puerto Rico via the USA after his concert in the Dominican Republic. Farruko, who was accused of smuggling and arrested, defended himself by saying, "I forgot to report it. It was not smuggling." Although the explanation at first glance logically resembled saying "My cousin wrote it," the Latin singer said that he forgot it due to fatigue.
Carlos Efrén Reyes Rosado (born May 2, 1991), better known by his stage name Farruko, is a Puerto Rican rapper and singer. He rose to fame collaborating with Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, Don Omar, and J Álvarez. He came to prominence in 2010 with his first solo album, El Talento del Bloque.
The famous singer, who was under observation with an ankle monitor for a while, had to take a break from his tours.
The US Customs and Immigration Department closely monitors foreign citizens and celebrities living in the US, especially regarding taxes and unregistered money. Farruko experienced this control painfully.
The singer, who was tried again a month later, would be sentenced to up to 5 years in prison or a fine of 250 thousand dollars if found guilty.
The music company Farruko works for is Carbon Fiber Music. The singer's music career started with MySpace in 2009.
He was nominated for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Urban Music Album in 2012.
In the summer of 2014, his first hit songs were "Passion Whine" and "6 AM".
On June 24, 2021, Farruko released his hit single "Pepas". The song is a mixture of tribal guarachero and reggaeton.
While giving a concert in Miami on February 12, 2022, he suddenly fell silent and made a speech praising God and apologizing to him, asking for forgiveness.
