Why does he keep his family life private?

The singer calls his children and family the ‘little treasure’.
How was his stage name created?
The nickname ‘Daddy Yankee’ comes from the English affectionate word for ‘dad’ and from Puerto Rican slang word ‘Yankee’ which means ‘tall’ or ‘professional’. Without doubt, such a good stage name suits this loving father and respectable musician.
