“I didn’t think I would become an example of the face-eating-leopards meme.”
Exactly. “He can be overtly racist and sexist to others but I draw the line at my people” dumb af
“I never in my life thought a month later a comedian would criticize my country and speak poorly of my country so for that reason, I renounce any support of Donald Trump, and I will throw myself to the sideline of anything political,” he added. “Puerto Rico deserves respect.”
What a dumbass. This guy clearly never paid attention in 2017 to Trump’s response to Hurricane Maria.
C- country?
But he was so generous with the paper towels!!
Sure, he hates black people, Mexicans, Ukrainians, basically Europe, every single person in a blue state, women, the justice system, Jews, TAYLOR SWIFT, trans people, Haitian immigrants, sure he also hates pets and children, but at least he’s okay with Puerto R–
. . .
wait HANG on he said WHAT
It’s like they think that if Trump doesn’t specifically list them in the things he’s against that it means he’s for them.
Nicky Jam? She’s hot!
What is she whining about here?
Probably about how HOT she is!
Who?
It’s the guy that performed at the trump rally that Trump called a hot woman
Very famous Latin hip hop singer.
Debatable, but I have heard she is very hot.
Can’t read past the greedy paywall, but if you endorse Trump there are no take-backsies, your still a moron
The classic ‘I don’t care how horrible this person or view is’ until it affects them ‘on noooo, I realized he’s terrible! Now I get to seem like an enlightened white Knight, warning others of obvious flaws I decided not to see!’
I bet if the joke was about Mexicans they wouldn’t have cared, because it’s not them.
“How did the leopard get on my face?”
Flip flopping is worse than just accepting a bad mistake. You were out for PR, not to actually endorse anyone, and got burned.
That’s what gets me about this one. It’s not just that they don’t care until it affects them–it’s how incredibly specific this one is. My dude, did you think that he hates Mexicans, South Americans, Dominicans, Haitians, literally every single person on Earth living south of the Texas border, EXCEPT Puerto Ricans?
your still a moron
Nicky Jam is taking back his endorsement of Donald Trump. On Wednesday, the Puerto Rican singer — who endorsed the former president at a rally last month — shared a video on his Instagram revealing that he “renounces” his support for Trump, citing Tony Hinchcliffe’s recent “floating island of garbage” joke at a Trump event.
“The reason why I supported Donald Trump is because I thought he’d be the best option for the U.S. economy where so many Latinos live, including me. Immigrants are suffering because of the economy,” he said in his video. “Since he’s a businessman, I thought he’d be the best movement.”
“I never in my life thought a month later a comedian would criticize my country and speak poorly of my country so for that reason, I renounce any support of Donald Trump, and I will throw myself to the sideline of anything political,” he added. “Puerto Rico deserves respect.” Popular on Rolling Stone
Nicky Jam’s post comes just days after Bad Bunny, Ricky Martin, Luis Fonsi, and Jennifer Lopez were among the artists of Puerto Rican descent who reshared posts from Vice President Kamala Harris the same day Hinchcliffe made his joke about Puerto Rico. (Jam was one of three Puerto Rican reggaetoneros, including Anuel AA and Justin Quiles, to support Trump.)
When Jam joined Trump onstage in Las Vegas last month, the former president misgendered him and seemed to have no idea who he was.
“Do you know Nicky? She’s hot. Where’s Nicky?” Trump said from the stage. “Oh, look, I’m glad he came up.” Once Jam took the stage, the Puerto Rican singer made a short speech, telling the crowd: “People that come from where I come from, they don’t meet the president. So I’m lucky. We need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president.”
Jam’s Trump endorsement of Trump drew intense backlash, including from Mexican band Maná, who pulled their collaboration with him from streaming services, with the band’s frontman Fher Olvera writing, “Maná doesn’t work with racists.” Trending Stories
Following Jam’s retraction, Olvera commended Jam’s decision to walk back the endorsement in a statement to Rolling Stone: “It’s never too late to change your mind. There’s still time to do the right thing. This is about exercising our Latino power. Go out and vote for our rights.”
Tomorrow, Maná will join Vice President Harris during a rally in Las Vegas, where Jennifer Lopez will also speak. Although Puerto Rico can’t help elect the president, there are thousands of Puerto Rican voters in Pennsylvania, one of the pivotal battleground states in the 2024 election.
Whenever I see such a long comment in my notifications I’m like “oh no, what’d I say this time”. But this is actually helpful, thank you. Still sticking with what I said tho
He is someone with 43 million social media followers. We don’t have to know who he is.
It’s always a relief to see the comments being real about this.
lol. lmao, even.
I love that Tony Hinchliffe may cost Trump big. Idiot. I hope he gets forever roasted for this

Wiki: unreliable - According to a 2021 RfC discussion, there is unanimous consensus among editors that Rolling Stone is generally unreliable for politically and societally sensitive issues reported since 2011 (inclusive), though it must be borne in mind that this date is an estimate and not a definitive cutoff, as the deterioration of journalistic practices happened gradually. Some editors have said that low-quality reporting also appeared in some preceding years, but a specific date after which the articles are considered generally unreliable has not been proposed. Previous consensus was that Rolling Stone was generally reliable for political and societal topics before 2011. Most editors say that Rolling Stone is a partisan source in the field of politics, and that their statements in this field should be attributed. Moreover, medical or scientific claims should not be sourced to the publication.
Wiki: unreliable - There is unanimous consensus among editors that Culture Council articles (of URL form rollingstone.com/culture-council/*) are self-published sources and are, in most aspects, equivalent to Forbes and HuffPost contributors. Editors, however, have also expressed concern that at least some of the content published is promotional and thus not usable. Editors should thus determine on a case-by-case basis whether the opinions published there are independent and also if they constitute due weight. Usage of these sources for third-party claims in biographies of living persons as well as medical or scientific claims is not allowed.
