Magnate
Ramón del Robledo Nuñez Oliviera (born 24 October 1982) known as Magnate also known as The One And Only announced in a press release that he and Valentino were going their separate ways by saying: "We were together at all stages as a duet of Puerto Rican urban music, to the point of marking the history of this genre with new styles in melodies and lyrical content. Undoubtedly, the results of this duo were always incredible, but now in 2014, I feel I am ready to present my new musical output outside the partnership".
