Reggaeton star Nicky Jam seems to be rolling back his support for Donald Trump after the Republican nominee mistakenly introduced him as a “hot” woman at a Las Vegas rally over the weekend.

Jam initially made light of the gaffe in an Instagram post—its caption referred to himself, in Spanish, as a “hot woman,” accompanied by no fewer than 22 crying-laughing emojis. But, as of Sunday night, the post had been deleted. The comment section on his most recent post before it, which was unrelated to Trump, was also deactivated.

Jam’s Trump endorsement, amplified by the buzz surrounding the awkwardly inaccurate rally introduction, has made him the subject of relentless criticism—and mockery—across the internet.

    Meh, if you have seen trump over the last decade and still endorsed him, I don’t know how him misgendering you changes that calculus.

      It was a slippery slope and he was willing to slide all the way to the deepest depths.

    Nicky Jam was fine with Trump, seemingly, up until he was misgendered by the latter.

    Meaning all Trump’s deeds were fine… up until this mistake at Nicky’s expense - which was unintentional.

    Yet when Trump attacked numerous other people throughout the years, that did not matter for Nicky.

    Anyone else see the hypocrisy of the conservative mindset here as well?

    I wonder if this Nancy Reagan meme is appropriate.

    Too late. Maná, one of his musical idols, already pulled their collaboration with him and posted this beauty.
