Nicky Jam Faces Backlash for Trump Endorsement

Reggaeton star Nicky Jam's recent endorsement of Donald Trump has sparked outrage among Dreamers and fans alike, particularly due to Trump's prior actions against the DACA program. Dreamers, including Adrian Escárate, expressed their disappointment, accusing Jam of betraying their community after he previously supported DACA in a 2018 collaboration. The situation intensified when Trump mistakenly introduced Jam as a woman during a rally, leading Jam to initially make light of the mistake on social media before deleting his post amidst backlash. The Mexican rock band Maná responded by removing their collaboration with Jam, condemning his endorsement of Trump. Despite the criticism, Jam has yet to officially clarify his stance following the incident. Overall, the backlash reflects both personal disappointment from Dreamers and broader discontent within the Latinx community regarding Jam's political alignment.
