  Is Yandel secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Yandel is celebrating his 49th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-producer Yandel (Como Antes, Encantadora, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 49th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Yandel, a cultural icon

Born Llandel Veguilla Malavé in Cayey on January 14, 1977, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Puerto Rican history. Yandel's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Yandel hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Yandel as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 49.

Happy Birthday, Yandel, you're the best!
