Reggaetón singer Nicky Jam is backing Donald Trump for president — however Trump was apparently below the mistaken impression that he was a “scorching” lady.
At Trump’s marketing campaign rally Friday in Las Vegas, the GOP presidential candidate introduced the endorsement of “Latin music celebrity Nicky Jam”: “Are you aware Nicky? She’s scorching!”
Trump, peering into the group, continued, “The place’s Nicky? The place’s Nicky? Thanks, Nicky. Nice to be having you right here.”
When the bestubbled Nicky Jam — sporting a “Make America Nice Once more” hat — emerged from the group onto the stage and shook Trump’s hand, Trump realized his error and mentioned, “Oh look! Come right here. I’m glad he got here up.”
In his feedback on stage, Nicky Jam mentioned, “It’s an honor to fulfill you, Mr. President. Those that come from the place I come from, they don’t meet the president. So I’m fortunate. We want you. We want you again, proper? We want you to be the president.” Nicky Jam (actual identify Nick Rivera Caminero) was born in Massachusetts and moved to Puerto Rico together with his household when he was a child.
The Harris marketing campaign pounced on Trump’s snafu in a submit on X, stating that the 43-year-old singer is a person. Nicky Jam’s largest hit is 2019’s “X,” which options J Balvin.
Different performers who’ve endorsed Trump’s candidacy embody Jason Aldean, Child Rock and Billy Ray Cyrus. Democrat VP Kamala Harris final week was endorsed by Taylor Swift, becoming a member of different artists in backing her together with Ariana Grande, Cardi B, John Legend and Carole King.
After the rally, Nicky Jam laughed off Trump’s confusion about his gender, sharing an image of the 2 of them in an Instagram submit, writing within the caption, “Nicky jam la potra la bichota” (roughly, “Nicky Jam the recent lady the feminine boss”) adopted by a string of twenty-two crying-laughing emoji.
