A federal magistrate in the Southern District of Florida has ruled in favor of a reggaeton artist, who is litigating against his one-time manager.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Lauren Fleischer Louis issued a report and recommendation Monday siding with Puerto Rican singer Llandel Veguilla Malavé — better known to audiences as Yandel — who is in a legal battle with Edgar Andino and his company, Andino Marketing Group LLC.
