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.

    No it has nothing to do with the misgendering itself.

    It is 100% that Nicky realized that mistake meant that Trump did absolutely nothing to know who he was, not even looking at a photo, before introducing him on stage. That his endorsement meant literally nothing to him other than the publicity.

    While not doing much research is generally common in Hollywood and similar fields, people at least will look at your photo first. Trump didn’t even bother to do that.
