Trump Introduces Latin Music Star Nicky Jam At Rally But Says “She’s Hot” In Weird Gaffe

September 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Before the chaos in Florida, you might have caught what happened at a recent Las Vegas rally, where Donald Trump misgendered reggaeton star Nicky Jam while introducing him.

Look, let’s call it what it is. Trump probably had no clue who Nicky Jam was and calling him a woman and proceeding to call him (thinking he was a she) hot, is just his typical misogyny towards women in plain sight.

Specifically, Trump said, “Latin music superstar Nicky Jam. Do you know Nicky? She’s hot.” The incident occurred during a Friday event at The Expo at World Market Center.

Trump weirdly and quickly corrected himself once Nicky Jam, whose real name is Nick Rivera Caminero, approached the stage. “Oh, look, I’m glad he came up,” Trump remarked. Wearing a red “Make America Great Again” cap, Nicky Jam expressed his gratitude, telling Trump, “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.”

Weird. Just plain, weird.

Nicky Jam, originally from Massachusetts and raised in Puerto Rico, is one of several reggaeton stars, including Anuel AA and Justin Quiles, who have shown support for Trump’s presidential candidacy. Despite the misgendering, Nicky Jam seemed to brush off the incident, posting a photo with Trump on Instagram with the caption, “Nicky jam la potra la bichota,” along with laughing emojis. The phrase translates loosely to “the filly, the big shot,” a Latin slang term popularized by Colombian singer Karol G in her 2020 song, “Bichota.”

Anyways not everyone was happy about Jam’s endorsement and he’s receiving plenty of fallout over the appearance at the rally.

Bad Bunny Joins All Star Cast of Crime Thriller ‘Caught Stealing’ Alongside Regina King, Zoë Kravitz and more

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Seems like Bad Bunny, is really getting into his acting bag more these days. The Latin music super star whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, just joined the star-studded cast of Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming crime thriller “Caught Stealing.”

Bad Bunny will share the screen with Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, and Regina King. Just a few A-list stars. No big deal.

Get this, Deadline first reported Bad Bunny’s casting in the film, which is based on the novel by Charlie Huston. The plot centers on Hank Thompson (played by Butler), a former baseball player whose life spirals into chaos as he becomes entangled in the criminal underworld of 1990s New York City.

But details about Bad Bunny’s role are being kept close to the vest. His addition to the cast adds to the film’s buzz. He joins a lineup that also includes Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, and Will Brill.

As we mentioned, Bad Bunny has been steadily building his acting career, making his on-screen debut in Netflix’s “Narcos: Mexico” in 2021 and later starring alongside Brad Pitt in David Leitch’s “Bullet Train.”

Good for him but we still hope he focuses on his music as much as his new acting career.
