Nicky Jam Withdraws Trump Endorsement Amid Controversy

Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Nicky Jam retracts his endorsement of Donald Trump after a comedian insulted Puerto Rico at a Trump rally, sparking backlash. Jam's decision aligns with other artists distancing from Trump and supporting Kamala Harris, highlighting cultural and political tensions.

Nicky Jam, a celebrated Puerto Rican reggaeton artist, has recanted his endorsement of Donald Trump for the upcoming 2024 presidential election. This move comes a month after he appeared at a rally for Trump.

The change in stance is attributed to offensive remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who disparaged Puerto Rico during a Trump rally in New York. These comments have led to widespread criticism and backlash.

A number of influential Puerto Rican figures, including global superstar Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin, have shown their disapproval, shifting their support towards Kamala Harris. This incident underscores the significant political and cultural ramifications affecting Puerto Rican voters and their mainland descendants.
