Oh, honey, you heard the talk? Folks are sayin’ “Farruko died” and goin’ on about it like there’s a funeral or somethin’. But listen here, we gotta slow down and see what’s what. Farruko ain’t dead—no, sir. He’s still kickin’, just took a bit of a pause, like a long breather to get himself right with the good Lord, you know? These artists, bless ’em, they live hard and fast, and sometimes they get tired and need a break from all that singin’ and dancin’ on stage.

Now, Farruko, his real name’s Carlos Efren Reyes, if you wanna get formal. He was born over in Bayamon, Puerto Rico back in 1991. That boy started singin’ young, and by sixteen, he was already puttin’ his music out there on MySpace, remember that old website? Oh, he was workin’ hard to make a name for himself in music. And sure as shootin’, he did!
Now, what kind of music does Farruko make, you ask? Well, that boy’s done it all! He’s sung reggaeton, merengue, bachata, even some Latin trap. You name it, he’s tried it. He’s worked with the big shots too, folks like Daddy Yankee, Pitbull, and Don Omar. They had folks dancin’ up a storm wherever they went. But it ain’t easy, keepin’ up with all that fast life, and sometimes folks start lookin’ for somethin’ more, somethin’ deeper, you know what I mean?
So, folks started talkin’ ‘bout how he quit singin’ and was followin’ a path to get closer to God. They say he even told his fans that “Farru is retired and Carlos is here now.” Just like that, folks figured he was done with music for good, packin’ it up to read his Bible and find his way. Oh, people got upset! Some had even bought tickets for shows that he ended up cancelin’. But look here, turns out, Farruko didn’t stay gone for too long. By May 2023, he was back on stage, just like he’d never left!
Now, why’d folks think he “died”? Well, you know how folks are. They hear “he left the music,” and right away, they start talkin’ about him like he’s six feet under. But bless him, he’s alive and well! Just found a new purpose, I reckon. He had that spiritual callin’, like some other artists who went the same route. You remember El General? Now that one was a big name too, but he up and left music in 2004 to follow a religious path. These things happen.
So no, honey, Farruko ain’t dead. He just got a little bit lost in thought, if you ask me. Had to step away from the stage lights to figure out who he really is. Sometimes, people need that. And as for his music? Oh, he’s still got that fire. He might not be bangin’ out new songs every day, but he’s still got a love for music. That’s somethin’ that don’t just disappear.
So next time you hear folks sayin’ “Farruko died,” you just tell ‘em he’s still here, just takin’ life a little slower. He’s tryin’ to balance that fame and his faith, and that’s mighty tough. But honey, when he’s ready, he’ll be back, stronger than ever. And don’t worry, those songs ain’t goin’ nowhere. Till then, we just gotta wait and see what the good Lord’s got planned for Farruko.
