"Thank you so much to everyone for the love, thank you for listening to my music. My respects to all my fellow colleagues that work hard just like I do and make music for all of you [the audience]," he said as he received the Artist of the Year prize. "The real awards are other things I'm very grateful for, including my family, the love of my friends, my brothers, and the love of the public—that's the real award I'm taking, and I don't need another one. I love you, Puerto Rico, mom, dad, love you!"
