Nicky Jam lived a movie story with his mother, with whom he had no contact for 20 years, until his reunion. Being away from her was one of the main reasons why the singer wanted to succeed in the music industry.
During an interview with E! News , the reggaeton told how his rise to fame was and how music helped him reunite with his mother, Ysabel Caminero , who was addicted to drugs.
"At the beginning I was only making music to have fun, but I would never have thought that I would go so far. It was just a therapy to feel good because I was going through many situations," explained the interpreter of "X."

"I almost didn't see my mother in 20 years, and my father was a fugitive, so I was afraid to get in touch with her, because I was a drug addict. You never know what's going to happen." The American singer continued.
Nicky's purpose for making music, had only one reason for being, because the singer just wanted his mother to hear him somewhere in the world.
"For most of my life, I tried to be famous, make music to see if my mother could listen to me and see me. My mother was deported to the Dominican Republic. It's a difficult story," said the famous.

Despite how difficult it could have been in the past, the musician achieved what he wanted so much. He first became famous, and then he could find his mother. In 2015, Nicky Jam traveled to the Dominican Republic to give a concert. When he visited the country where his roots are from, he came across a big surprise.
"When it happened, it was like a movie moment. My bodyguard said, 'There's a woman outside. She's fighting with everyone saying she is your mother and she wants to see you.' Then I go out and see my mother fighting with everyone, and I automatically knew it was her because she remembered her voice, "recalled the singer.
"We hugged and that was it. From there, we never parted again," said the singer, who looked forward to the day when that happy moment arrived.

"It was something I was waiting for all my life. I wanted to be with my mom, share with her. Even, many things I did in music I did because I said, maybe if I become famous and she sees me, she finds me, and It worked, ”said the 38-year-old singer.
Since then, both have been able to build a solid relationship and overcome adversity together, because at some point Nicky recognized that living without the mother figure led him to addictions.
"He was a rebel. I didn't care about anything," he said of his battle against drugs. "I didn't have my mother and the only girl I fell in love with, I lost her, so, in my mind and mentality, I didn't care about anything. When you're using drugs, your life doesn't really matter to you. Your mind is in white, "said the famous.

Currently, the artist continues to celebrate the success of his latest Intimate album, and acknowledges that everything difficult he has lived has made him the person he is now, and that is how life took him to the place he wanted to be.
"I am grateful for all that God and my people have given me. I am always humble about it and I always work as if I were about to lose everything. That is what makes me successful and that is what makes me get all these things good and have a good attitude about everything, "said the actor of" Bad Boys For Life. "
