Puerto Rican Reggaeton artist Daddy Yankee served lunch to 200 low-income children in a Dominican Republic neighborhood.

Latin American Herald Tribune reports Daddy Yankee served lunch to the kids from low-income families in Santo Domingo. Daddy Yankee is known for feeding children of various ages.

Daddy Yankee's charity was done through a sponsorship by his foundation, Warrior Heart Foundation, known as Corazon Guerrero in Spanish. The foundation established "Daddy's House" in 2009, a place for less fortunate children to receive meals in El Tamarindo, a neighborhood in Santo Domingo. The "La Gasolina" singer established his foundation to help convicted criminals reintegrate into society after serving their sentences, according to Fox News Latino.

Children were also surprised with tricks from clowns and special gifts during the lunch. Hollywood.com reports Daddy Yankee also gave the children gifts as an early Christmas celebration.

The Puerto Rican star was born Ramon Ayala in Villa Kennedy, Santurce, Puerto Rico, according to IMDb. He is one of the top Spanish-language dancehall reggae artists and started singing at the age of 13. Daddy Yankee eventually established his own record label called El Cartel Records. His album "Cartel de Yankee" was certified for Platinum sales in Puerto Rico, which contributed to the rise of his success.

For five years in a row, the artist won awards for "El Rey de la Improvisacion" at the Street Jam Reggae Awards.

In 2004, Daddy Yankee released "Barrio Fino," his first internationally distributed album. Throughout his career he has won awards like the Best Voice, Best Song, Best Lyrics and Best Artist. He has also produced songs for other reggaeton artists.

The Puerto Rican star first hit the spotlight when he made appearances on DJ Tony Touch's album "The Piece Maker."

Daddy Yankee's "Barrio Fino" album is considered to be one of the best full-length reggaeton albums ever released.
