At a recent campaign rally in Las Vegas, former President Donald Trump received an unexpected endorsement from Reggaetón superstar Nicky Jam, but not without a humorous mix-up. The rally, held as part of Trump’s 2024 bid to reclaim the presidency, saw the GOP candidate mistakenly refer to Nicky Jam as a “hot” woman, leaving many in the audience amused.
Scanning the crowd, Trump excitedly announced, “Do you know Nicky? She’s hot!” The confusion continued as he asked, “Where’s Nicky? Where’s Nicky? Thank you, Nicky. Great to be having you here.” However, when Nicky Jam, sporting a “Make America Great Again” hat, took the stage, Trump quickly corrected himself. “Oh, look! Come here. I’m glad he came up,” Trump quipped as he greeted the heavily tattooed artist.
Despite the initial slip-up, Nicky Jam was thrilled to show his support for the former president. He expressed his appreciation on stage, saying, “It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. President. People who come from where I come from don’t meet the president. So I’m lucky. We need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president.”
Nicky Jam, born Nick Rivera Caminero in Massachusetts, moved to Puerto Rico with his family at a young age. His support for Trump marks a notable moment in the 2024 campaign as the former president works to regain the Latino vote, a demographic crucial to his path to victory.
The moment quickly went viral online, with hashtags like #NickyJamForTrump and #Trump2024 gaining momentum on social media, sparking discussions about celebrity endorsements and Latino support for Trump’s campaign.
