\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\tIn the history of the Billboard Latin Music Awards, a number of Latin icons — such as Celia Cruz<\/a> (1994), Vicente Fern\u00e1ndez<\/a> (1998) and Daddy Yankee<\/a> (2021) — have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. The special award is given to artists who have achieved worldwide recognition for their work, transcending musical genres and languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tIn 2022, hitmaker Nicky Jam<\/a> joined the elite group of artists who have entered the Hall of Fame. The award recognized the reggaet\u00f3n artist (known for anthemic songs such as “El Perd\u00f3n” and “Travesuras”), actor and entrepreneur for his prolific work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
