Puerto Rican artist Nicky Jam walked back his endorsement for presidential candidate Donald J. Trump on Wednesday. In a video uploaded to Jam’s Instagram, the reggaeton star is seen sitting in a luxury car as he explains he no longer supports Trump following the racist remarks made by Tony Hinchcliffe about Puerto Rico and Latinos during a rally over the weekend.
The starkly racist comments stirred outrage among prominent Puerto Ricans and many others in media and entertainment including Bad Bunny, Don Omar, Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin, among others.
Jam previously appeared at a Trump rallyhimself, sparking outrage — and a viral moment — after being introduced and misgendered by Trump as an avid supporter of his campaign. Trump was apparently under the mistaken impression that Jam was a “hot” woman, announcing the endorsement of “Latin music superstar Nicky Jam”: “Do you know Nicky? She’s hot!”

The Puerto Rico fall out continues. Even the guy that Trump introduced on the stage as “hot” has withdrawn his endorsement. LOL
