Félix Danilo Gómez (born August 26, 1979 in Panama), known by his stage name (DJ) Flex and Nigga, is a Panamanian reggaeton artist. He is best known for his single, Te Quiero (Spanish for "I love you") by the age of 27, from his debut album spent many weeks at number one in the Mexican charts in late 2007 and early 2008. The album also reached number one in the album charts.[1] There are two remixes one features Arcangel The other remix features Belinda, which reached #90 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in April 2008.
In Mexico, he says he adopted the name Nigga, because another Panamanian singer said "He sang like a black guy from Jamaica." For American release, he adopted the less controversial name Flex, and references to his Mexican name were removed from the material for American distribution.
