• Music The turning point of Nicky Jam: the grave or the rehabilitation

This summer, fans of Nicky Jam (41) are in luck because he will be on tour in our country.

As an appetizer, the American singer of Puerto Rican and Dominican origin is presenting his

new single

From Him,

Ojos Rojos

, which will be part of the album that he will release at the end of this year.

When a producer discovered him singing in a supermarket, it didn't take him long to record his first album.

He was 14 years old

and formed the duo

Los Cangris with Daddy Yankee

, he was not aware that in addition to achieving success

he would descend to hell.

To cope with his pace of life, the singer became addicted to

the

opioid painkiller Percocet,

codeine and alcohol,

taking up to

39 pills a day.

Addiction leads to wrong behaviors that landed him in

prison for driving a stolen car

in Puerto Rico as well as breaking his friendship with Yankee, who had tried to help him.

At one point, Nicky

nearly died from an overdose.

Aware of his condition, Yankee did not hesitate to lend him a hand.

The most recognized singer of the urban genre

has been totally clean for a decade.

Nicky Jam argued that the reason that led him to consume was the

absence of his mother

during a

childhood spent in one of the poorest areas of Puerto Rico.

Many years later a bodyguard whispered to him at a concert that

a lady with drug problems claimed to be his mother

, they saw each other, hugged each other and together they began a new path.

While going through that black tunnel of his life, he did not notice that his

four children

, Alyssa (20), Yarimar (20), Joe Martin (17) and Luciana (10) needed him more than ever.

The first time he became a father, he was so young that the artist did not want to recognize the little girl

, so he had to undergo the relevant parentage tests.

They currently form a happy family that from time to time appear on Instagram as they try to preserve their privacy as much as they can.

The only time that Nicky Jam has been married was in 2017 with Angélica Cruz

, whose link was attended by the stars

J Balvin and Vin Diesel.

A year later they divorced.

Last year he broke up with model

Cidney Moreau

after proposing to her.

After the breakup, he sold his mansion in Miami Beach and bought another one in Miami for four million dollars that consists of 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, an elevator, a swimming pool... In addition, he has a

collection of dream luxury cars,

among which stand out a Lamborghini Urus, a Rolls Royce Wraith and a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.

Not bad for someone who earns just over a million euros per concert.

For a few months he has been dating the Venezuelan model Genesis Aleska.

Tonight, Nicky Jam steps on

El Hormiguero

again to promote

Ojos Rojos

.
