Authorities across Puerto Rico have launched an intensive investigation after reggaetón and rap artist Cosculluela was robbed at gunpoint in his home on August 6, with the assailants making off with an estimated $308,000 in cash, jewelry, and a luxury SUV.

According to WAPA TV, Inspector Mabel Olivera, head of the Criminal Investigations Corps (CIC) of Carolina, confirmed that the suspects, described as two armed, masked men, entered Cosculluela's gated community in Emerald Lake via a wooded area. Once inside, they tied up and gagged three people, including the artist, and ransacked his bedroom and office.

Police later recovered the stolen Land Rover, but the men responsible remain at large. Authorities suspect there may be more people involved, though only two were seen by witnesses.

This incident adds to an already long list of legal troubles for Cosculluela, whose real name is José Fernando Cosculluela Suárez. Born and raised in Humacao, Puerto Rico, he became a household name in the 2000s with hits like Na Na Nau and Prrrum, known for blending street rap with catchy reggaetón hooks. He's collaborated with major artists including Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, and Bad Bunny.

However, his offstage life has taken a darker turn.

In 2024, Cosculluela faced multiple allegations, including a hit-and-run involving two pedestrians and the death of two horses. He's currently serving probation after being found guilty of domestic violence against his ex-wife, Jennifer Fungenzi. The couple shares two children, and Cosculluela had previously adopted her eldest daughter.

Another former partner, Gina Moreno, has publicly accused the rapper of child abuse involving one of their sons.

And in a bizarre twist, Puerto Rico's power company, LUMA Energy, filed a formal complaint accusing the rapper of illegally tapping into the island's electrical grid. According to the company, his home had no legal service contract, and the stolen electricity amounted to over $31,000.

"According to the data provided, the illegal use adds up to $31,161," reads the court filing.

Despite the gravity of the accusations, Cosculluela has remained largely silent, choosing to stay out of the public eye. The rapper, once hailed as Puerto Rico's lyrical heavyweight, now finds himself surrounded by controversy, lawsuits, and violence—all while under the eye of investigators, fans, and critics alike.
