This is a big endorsement from a musician who has a large following, particularly in the Spanish-speaking community.
From Billboard:
Nicky, wearing a black sweatshirt and the Trump campaign’s signature red “Make America Great Again” baseball cap, then took the stage to deliver a brief statement.
“It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. President. People that come from where I come from, they don’t meet the president. So I’m lucky,” said Nicky, who moved from Massachusetts to Puerto Rico at a young age. “We need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president.”
Nicky Jam is one of many music stars who have endorsed the 78-year-old businessman-turned-politician in his 2024 re-election bid. In late August, Puerto Rican reggaetón stars Anuel AA and Justin Quiles took the stage to support Trump at a rally in Johnstown, Penn. Other artists who support the former president include Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Kodak Black, Lil Pump, Sexyy Red and Billy Ray Cyrus.
Of course, Nicky is the latest in a long line of influential people who are backing Trump this election.
Forbes provided an updated list on all the celebrities who have publicly endorsed President Trump:
Former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan ripped off his shirt while on stage at the Republican National Convention last month to reveal a Trump-Vance campaign shirt underneath, and called Trump his “hero” and the “greatest president of the United States.”
Musician Kid Rock has been vocal about his support of Trump in the past and at the RNC revamped his song “American Bad Ass” to include references to Trump. UFC President and personality Dana White called Trump the “toughest, most resilient human being.”
Rapper and reality TV star Amber Rose gave a speech at the RNC in support of Trump. Country music stars Chris Janson and Jason Aldean also appeared at the convention. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy in January said voting for Trump over Biden was a “no-brainer.”
Public-facing billionaires like Elon Musk and Steve Wynn have also supported the former president. Actress Rosanne Barr, a longtime conservative supporter of Trump, clapped back at Cuban’s endorsement of the Harris-Walz ticket and called the VP pick “another reason Harris is a disaster.”
Rapper Azealia Banks last year said she would vote for Donald Trump in Novemebr and she appeared at a rally in Florida this summer. Actor Jon Voight has defended Trump on multiple occasions.
50 Cent’s 2023 song “Many Men (Wish Death)” started trending online after the assassination attempt of Trump last month. The rapper responded by putting Trump’s face on the cover of his “Get Rich or Die Tryin.’” While it’s hard to call the response an official endorsement, he did appear to support the president in 2020 before apparently backtracking.
Other celebrities who have supported Trump in the past, but not outright endorsed him yet this election season, include Lil Wayne and “Happy Days” star Scott Baio.
