The Puerto Rican rapper (Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez) filed the injunction on Thursday, Dec. 12 in San Juan against González, 47, her sister Ayeicha González Castellanos and El Cartel Records, which Yankee founded and where González is allegedly CEO and González Castellanos is secretary/treasurer.

Per the filing, although Daddy Yankee, 47, is “the owner of the shares of the company” and “is the reason for the existence” of Cartel Records Inc. “he lacks access, interference and information, to all that he generated and continues to generate and to which he is entitled.”

As a result, the “Dura” musician is asking for the “immediate removal of the plaintiffs from any function or interference in the corporations as officers or administrators thereof and the delivery of the information and documentation that they have illegitimately withheld.”

Daddy Yankee alleges that González and González Castellanos attempted to wield “greater power over the operations of the Cartel than was authorized, which has resulted in a detrimental and negligent performance for the company.”

The Latin Grammy winner also claims they “failed to render an accurate account of their actions” and “disregarded formalities and requirements of the corporate legislation.”

The filing also claims González enlisted a third party to represent El Cartel in the sale of some of the plaintiff’s music catalog, which Concord acquired. Daddy Yankee claims the amount agreed upon “turned out to be unreasonable, disproportionate and far below the real value.”

Allegedly, Daddy Yankee “does not know the real scope of the transaction, nor does he have detailed knowledge of what was or was not sold, nor the limitations he may have on the use of his musical creations.”

Reps for González have not yet replied to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
