Nicky Jam has chosen to withdraw his support for Donald Trump‘s presidential campaign … the artist decided to retract his endorsement following the former president’s contentious rally over the weekend.
The artist, hailing from Dominican and Puerto Rican roots, shared a video on his Instagram Wednesday, where he articulated the reasons behind his initial support for 45’s reelection campaign … and the factors that led him to withdraw that support.

He proceeded in his declaration, which we have interpreted into English … “I never expected that a month later, there would arise this comedian who would insult my nation. Because of that, I withdraw my support for Trump.”

The comments ignited considerable backlash for Hinchcliffe and Trump … who faced criticism for failing to decisively condemn the derogatory comments as he took the stage at the rally. Nevertheless, the Trump campaign later stated that the joke “does not represent the views of President Trump.”
This isn’t the first occasion where Trump has stumbled regarding Jam. As TMZ earlier reported, the former president unintentionally misidentified the artist while presenting him as a speaker during his Las Vegas rally back in September.
At that moment, Trump inquired whether his supporters were familiar with Jam, remarking … “she’s quite attractive.”
The Republican candidate seemed genuinely taken aback when the male Latin performer came forward to speak … with Jam opting to overlook the remark.
It appears he couldn’t contain his comments this time around!!!
