Nicky Jam, a reggaeton singer who is one of YouTube’s most-watched Latin artists of all time, recently deleted his online endorsement of former President Donald Trump after Trump introduced him as a “hot” woman during Trump’s weekend rally in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Trump introduced “Latin music superstar, Nicky Jam” at his rally. “Do you know Nicky? She’s hot… Where’s Nicky?”

“Oh, look, I’m glad he came up,” Trump then said, correcting himself.

Jam, who wore a red MAGA cap, then addressed the crowd in Spanish, saying, “It’s been four years and nothing has happened. We need Trump. Let’s make America great again.”

After Trump’s gaffe, the singer posted an Instagram image that referred to himself, in Spanish, as a “hot woman,” and added a caption with 22 crying-laugh emojis. However, numerous commenters criticized his endorsement, and Jam deleted the post by Sunday.

Numerous commenters pointed out that, in 2018, Jam collaborated with the Spotify music streaming service to create a video supporting DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, an Obama-era program that protected immigrants brought to the U.S. as children from deportation and provided them with possible pathways to citizenship.

Trump tried to end DACA in 2017, though the Supreme Court blocked his attempt. The program is currently not accepting new applicants.

In the video, Jam said, “When I heard the first things that came out of Trump’s mouth, I said, ‘Oh, my God, this sounds ugly.’ It’s obviously a racist situation.”

Adrian Escárate, a former DACA recipient who appeared in the Spotify video, criticized Jam’s endorsement.

“I’m in the video below where I shared w/ @NickyJamPR the fears that thousands of #DREAMers w/ #DACA like myself had about our protections taken away by Trump,” Escárate wrote via X. “Fast forward to now where it seems Nicky Jam used me to promote his music + sellout our community. Thanks for nothing.”

Escárate wasn’t alone in his criticism of Jam. Even after Jam deleted his endorsement, other Instagram users went into the comments of his most recent post to blast him.

Maná, a Mexican pop-rock band that collaborated with Jam on the 2016 song “De pies a cabeza,” removed the song from all of its digital platforms. In an Instagram post, the band wrote, “Maná does not work with racists.”

“For the last 30 years, Maná has supported and defended the rights of Latinos around the world,” the post’s Spanish caption read. “There is no business or promotion that is worth more than the dignity of our people.”

Maná has supported U.S. migrants for two decades, the Associated Press noted. When receiving the 2018 Latin Recording Academy’s Person of the Year award, the band’s vocalist, Fher Olvera, said, “We will continue to fight for the rights of migrants who have made this country great; in the last century, they were the difference for this country to be as great as it is.”
