Trump welcomed male Latin superstar Nicky Jam on stage at a recent Las Vegas rally, saying, 'You know Nicky? She’s hot.'

Former President Donald Trump was widely mocked for putting his foot in his mouth after awkwardly misgendering Latin superstar Nicky Jam on stage at a recent Las Vegas rally.

Trump said:


“Latin music superstar Nicky Jam. You know Nicky? She’s hot."
"Where is Nicky? Where is Nicky? Thank you, Nicky. Great to be having you here."

The issue: Jam, whose real name is Nick Rivera Caminero, is male—a fact Trump acknowledged when the singer, known in the Latin community for the hit "Travesuras," walked up to the stage:

"Oh, look, I’m glad he came up."

Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign shared footage of the moment, noting that "Nicky Jam is a man."

The mockery was swift.




Jam initially poked fun at the gaffe in an Instagram post, where he humorously referred to himself in Spanish as a "hot woman" and added 22 crying-laughing emojis. However, by Sunday night, the post had been deleted, and the comment section on his most recent unrelated post had also been deactivated.

Jam has encountered backlash that extends beyond jokes from anonymous internet trolls. On Sunday, the Mexican rock band Maná removed their collaboration with Jam, “De Pies a Cabeza,” from streaming platforms and issued a statement denouncing his endorsement of Trump, saying it "doesn't work with racists."

Maná wrote (translated from Spanish):

"For the past 30 years, Maná has supported and defended the rights of Latinos around the world. There is no business or promotion worth more than the dignity of our people. That’s why today, Maná has decided to remove their collaboration with Nicky Jam, 'De Pies a Cabeza,' from all digital platforms."

Although Jam’s deleted post suggests he may be reconsidering his stance, he has yet to release any official statement regarding his position on the former president. The Trump campaign also has not commented on the matter despite requests from outlets including The Huffington Post.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
