“Damn SHE will regret it” — Internet reacts as Maná removes Nicky Jam collab from streaming services following the latter’s Trump endorsement

Nicky Jam's collaboration with Maná was removed from streaming services following the former's endorsement of Donald Trump, and the internet went wild. On Sunday, September 15, the Mexican rock band Maná released an Instagram post explaining their decision to drop their 2016 collaboration with Jam, De Pies a Cabeza, from streaming services. A translated version of the post read:

"Maná doesn't work with racists."

During Donald Trump's Las Vegas campaign rally on Friday, September 13, Nicky Jam took to the stage to perform in support of the former United States president. The moment also led to the embarrassing viral clip of Trump misgendering the singer and calling him "she." While on stage, Jam gushed about how it was an "honor" to meet him before telling Trump the people needed him back in office.

Overall, the social media reactions to Nicky Jam being dropped by Maná were a mixed bag. Some users applauded the band's decision and even made fun of Nicky. An X user who went by @DangerRidgeX joked, referencing Trump's infamous misgendering of Nicky:

"Do you know Nicky? She's hot": Donald Trump mistakenly misgendered Nicky Jam

As mentioned, on Sunday, September 15, Maná released an Instagram post explaining why they dropped their collaboration with Nicky Jam from streaming platforms. On a plain black background, the band wrote with large block letters painted white and red that they did not work with racists. A translated version of the band's caption to the post read:

"For the past 30 years, Maná has supported and defended the rights of Latinos around the world. There is no business or promotion that is worth more than the dignity of our people. That is why today Maná decided to remove its collaboration with Nicky Jam on "Pies a Cabeza" from all digital platforms."

On September 13, a few days before Maná's Instagram proclamation, Nicky Jam performed at Donald Trump's Las Vegas campaign rally. However, while introducing the singer onto the stage, the former president mistakenly called him a woman. Trump remarked at the time:

"Do you know Nicky? She's hot. Where's Nicky?"

After meeting up with the singer, the former president quickly reverted:

"Oh, look, I'm glad he came up."

While on stage, the Massachusetts-born reggaeton artist of Dominican and Puerto Rican descent said that it was an honor to meet Donald Trump as the people from where he came from don't usually get to meet the president. The 43-year-old further exclaimed:

"We need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president."

Nicky Jam teamed up with the legendary Mexican band Maná in 2016 to release a re-imagined version of the band's 1992 hit track Pies a Cabeza. As per Billboard, at the time of its release, Jam said it was a "blessing" to work with Maná, who he described as one of his idols.
