7 Reggaetón Duos Still Going Strong Today: Jowell y Randy, Alexis y Fido, & More

After a trajectory that spans over 20 years, Zion y Lennox are parting ways.

Zion (real name: Felix Gerardo Ortiz Torres) announced the news on his Instagram account, where he revealed that after a “careful evaluation” since the beginning of 2024, he made the decision to separate from his long-time duo member, Lennox (real name: Gabriel Enrique Pizarro).

“This decision reflects his commitment to continue expanding his legacy in music, focusing on his next project, The Perfect Melody II, and the projects that will follow its release,” reads official press statement. “As a team, we reaffirm that this separation is strictly professional and does not imply any kind of personal conflict beyond the differences in the current priorities of each artist.”

Zion y Lennox now join a wave of popular Puerto Rican duos who have parted ways to pursue solo careers including Plan B, Nova y Jory, Ñejo & Dálmata, and R.K.M. y Ken-Y, to name a few.

Meanwhile, other reggaetón pairs are still going strong, such as J-King y Maximan, who have had a 17-year career and are currently making the rounds with their new single “La Conversación Remix” featuring Ken-Y.

“He and I have known each other since we were 9 years old,” J-King says to Billboard of the duo’s longevity. “We got through the fights, the ego, the battles that didn’t make sense and we were able to move forward. And it’s also recognizing that at the end of the day I can’t eat without him and he can’t eat without me. In addition to that, he brings to the table a talent that I also bring and by complementing that talent, the duo was created.”
