This is the case of the word “Alofoke” is used in the slang of this genre -almost always by Dominicans- to refer to an action that is taken lightly and without thinking much about the reprisals that such action may have.

This term arose in one of those attempts to Spanishize the word “Fucker” ending in “a lo fucker”, a bit like “a lo loco”.

However, it is known as Alofoke, Esmerlin Santiago Matias, a famous producer and manager of important artists of the trap and reggaeton genre, born in 1984 in the Capotillo neighborhood of the Dominican Republic and who began his career as a rap singer, back in the 2000s.
