Latin superstar Nicky Jam said Wednesday he is withdrawing his endorsement of former President Donald Trump, a month after he appeared on stage with Trump donning a MAGA hat.

The reggaeton artist, speaking in Spanish, posted to his 43.5 million followers on Instagram that he was withdrawing his support for Trump due to a comedian’s recent comments about Puerto Rico during the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden.

“The reason I supported Donald Trump was because I thought he was best for the economy in the United States, where there are a lot of Latinos, a lot of immigrants who are suffering because of the economy,” Nicky Jam – whose birth name is Nick. Rivera Caminero – said in a video.

“Never in my life did I think that a month later there would be a comedian who would criticize my country and speak badly about my country,” he continued. “And for that, I am withdrawing my support for Donald Trump. Puerto Rico must be respected.”

CNN has contacted the Trump campaign for comment.

In September, the star appeared on stage at a Las Vegas rally with Trump, wearing a red Make America Great Again hat.

At that performance, Trump awkwardly introduced the singer, perhaps not knowing who he was, and called him to the stage by saying, “She’s hot.” The Harris campaign seized that moment and posted: “Nicky Jam is a man.”

Nicky Jam is the latest Puerto Rican star to denounce the Trump campaign after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash” during Trump’s Sunday night rally. The Trump campaign has attempted to distance itself from Hinchcliffe, with Trump campaign spokesperson Danielle Alvarez saying in a statement after the meeting: “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”

Since then, Bad Bunny, Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez have all publicly posted support for Kamala Harris.

Bad Bunny — one of the biggest Latin music stars in the world — is rarely political, but he took to social media shortly after Hinchcliffe’s comments to express his support for Harris on Sunday and shared a clip of the vice president’s plans for the island.

On Sunday, “Despacito” singer Luis Fonsi also joined the chorus of Puerto Rican stars sharing their support for Harris, posting a video clip of Hinchcliffe’s joke at the Trump rally with the caption, “Are you serious?” to his 16 million Instagram followers. “It’s okay to have different opinions, and I respect those who think differently than me… but going down this racist path, it’s not,” Fonsi posted on his Instagram Story, along with emojis indicating he was on Harris voted.

Lopez has continuously voiced her support for Harris and Puerto Rico since Sunday. “LET’S GET LOUD. Make your voice heard in ONE WEEK. VOTE November 5. Born in the USA. Puerto Rico,” Lopez said.

On Thursday night, Lopez will speak at a rally with Harris, becoming one of the biggest A-listers to appear alongside the vice president in the final stretch of the campaign, just days before the election.
