In an unexpected turn of events, reggaetón sensation Nicky Jam has officially announced his endorsement of former President Donald Trump for the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The announcement was made during a campaign rally held by Trump at the World Market Center in Las Vegas on Friday, September 13.

As Trump took the stage, he excitedly introduced Nicky Jam to the crowd, albeit with a small slip-up. Mistakenly referring to the Latin star as "she," Trump searched the crowd for the singer, exclaiming, "Do you know Nicky? She's hot. Where's Nicky?" The former president quickly spotted Nicky and corrected himself, expressing his delight at the artist's presence.

Wearing a black sweatshirt and donning the signature red "Make America Great Again" baseball cap, Nicky Jam took the stage to deliver a brief statement expressing his honor at meeting the former president. He highlighted the rarity of individuals from his background having the opportunity to meet the president. "We need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president," Nicky Jam passionately conveyed, voicing his support for Trump's re-election.

Nicky Jam's endorsement adds him to the growing list of music stars who have thrown their support behind Trump's political ambitions. Other notable musicians who have publicly endorsed the former president include Anuel AA, Justin Quiles, Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Kodak Black, Lil Pump, Sexyy Red, and Billy Ray Cyrus.

This announcement comes in the wake of Nicky Jam's recent statement regarding his decision to retire from singing. Though he clarified that singers never truly retire, he hinted at "toning it down" in the future. With his sixth studio album, "Insomnio," having just been released on September 6, fans can still savor Nicky Jam's musical talent before any potential transition in his career.

Nicky Jam's endorsement of Donald Trump adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming 2024 presidential election. With a prominent figure from the reggaetón genre throwing his support behind the former president, it remains to be seen how this endorsement will impact the broader music community and the political landscape as a whole.
