But success comes at a price, he has been involved in several feuds with other reggaeton artists. Including Yomo, one of his very close friends where he lived in Humacao, being that they both hanged out in the same places. Other include Gastam & Kenny, this feud started because Gastam & Kenny were replaced by Cosculluela in Buddha's record company. This did not go well with them and they decided to make a series of diss tracks aimed at Cosculluela. Cosculluela replied by recording diss records directed at them. Last but not least, with Full Records, this one started because Ñengo Flow was supposed to get on 'Un Pesito' and instead Cosculluela used Voltio. Arcangel, being one of the bosses at Full Records, made an offer to Ñengo Flow to start a chain of disses that would spark the interest of millions in the company. There have been many tiraera's against each other. Such songs such as Caracol by Ñengo Flow has been said to be an indirect tiraera for Cosculluela. Ñengo Flow and Cosculluela have been in feuding for about half a year, until they reconciled and ended their beef on stage at the Virgilio 2009 concert. Cosculluela and Arcangel are now exchanging shots...
