Nicky Jam was the first chosen to do Despacito

The popular and successful song "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi in collaboration with Daddy Yankee begins to generate its own history. This week it was possible to know that the person selected to accompany Fonsi in the song was the rapper and reggaetonero Nicky Jam and he had to refuse and reject the offer for commitments with the record label, since he considered that it was not opportune to have two songs competing with Same time and had to give priority to his simple "The Lover".

" The idea was to get the subject with Fonsi after 'El Amante', but Fonsi could not wait, he had to get his subject out already and it was understandable, so he went to Yankee . " The artist declared in an event with journalists.

However, "The Lover" has also been a mega hit, so Jam is not sorry. " I had a song that came out at that moment and I could not take two at a time. If you repent it is because you did not want to, because I would not have wanted to do it and that was not my case ... We did not take 'Despacito', but maybe tomorrow we will do 'Suavecito' ". Joked

During the event, Sony Music presented to the American of Puerto Rican descent four recognitions: Platinum certification for his Fénix record, double Platinum for the song "El Amante", quadruple Platinum for "Hasta la Dawn" and Diamante for " The forgiveness".

"I can not say that I would do a better job than I did (by Yankee and Fonsi). I would have done my version, " said the artist, who is on tour promoting his album" Fénix "   And that swept the last Billboard Latin Music Awards.
