Daddy Yankee Makes Soap Debut On 'The Bold And The Beautiful'

Posted 11 hrs ago by MTV Tr3s in Celebrity, Daddy Yankee, Television

This is an epic week for soap fans! On Tuesday (June 1), Daddy Yankee made his highly anticipated debut on the Emmy®-Award winning "The Bold and the Beautiful." Airing the first week of June, the Puerto Rican superstar has joined the series for a five-episode story arc.

The episodes also feature the "Ellen" show’s DJ, Tony Okungbowa, as Daddy Yankee's manager, and the first Hispanic model to work on "The Price is Right," Colombia's Manuela Arbelaez.

"The story takes place during a raucous party full of young people who are ready to take a break from the scholarly pursuits of high school. We conceived it as a modern urban take on a masquerade ball," says Emmy-winning Executive Producer and Head Writer Bradley P. Bell. "Daddy Yankee's hypnotic thump is the perfect intoxicating elixir to entice some of the characters into doing things they might not ordinarily do. The consequences for the Forrester family will be devastating, leading to some of the series' most dramatic situations yet."

We've got the episode, plus win an autographed photo of Daddy Yankee and the entire "The Bold and the Beautiful" cast, after the jump!

In El Cangri's first appearance, a lot of drama went down (were you surprised?). Oliver convinces his friend, Daddy Yankee, to perform at Hope’s graduation party while scouting a location for his latest music video. Stephen conducts a shady business arrangement with Mick Guthrie. Pam becomes flustered when she stumbles upon a half-naked Stephen. Brooke threatens Steffy to stay away from Oliver and to not even consider any attempts at sabotaging Hope’s party.

Unfortunately we can't embed the clip, but here is a link to the first Daddy Yankee episode.
