Ralphy Rodríguez

Ralphy Rodríguez (born April 17, 1973 in Carolina, Puerto Rico) is a singer/songwriter and former member of Menudo.[1] He replaced Charlie Massó.

He joined Menudo in September of 1986, at a time that the group's worldwide fame was still strong, although it had begun to wane. He was popular among Menudo fans, and was a member of a Menudo line-up that included Ricky Martin, Raymond Acevedo, Sergio Blass, Ruben Gomez and Robi Rosa. He sang the songs "Cuando Seas Grande" and "Y Te Veré (A Las Tres)" featured on the Spanish album Somos Los Hijos del Rock as well as “Come back to me” and “Sa Bawat Halik” from the English album “In Action” released in the Philippines.

In 1991, Edgardo Diaz was accused by ex members of Menudo of sexual abuse towards Menudo members. In a May 1991 Univision Television Program Cristina Show,with Rodriguez and his dad present as main accusers, Diaz refuted the allegations. Diaz has been the target of several sexual crime allegations by former Menudo members, Ralphy Rodriguez and Roy Rossello, who accused him of sexual abuse during a Brazilian reality show's transmission on October 21, 2014.

Rodríguez became a born-again Christian, and released 3 Christian Inspirational CD’s between 1998-2008.
