Colombian artist and businessman J Balvin is not one to keep quiet. That's why he quickly clarified that those who are involving him with Donald Trump's presidential campaign in the United States need to read better.

One of the main characteristics that define Balvin is his humor and how, regardless of what people will say, he 'makes fun' of his friends. This time it was Nicky Jam's turn.

"Campeón" (which translates to "Champ"), was the word Balvin used to joke after Donald Trump told the participants of his political rally in Las Vegas that Nicky 'is hot', introducing the Puerto Rican artist as a woman.

Balvin posted his comment on the post in which Nicky himself made a joke of the situation and, next to a photo with the politician, wrote: "Nicky Jam, La Potra, La Bichota", accompanied by emojis of laughter. He was making reference to famous female Latin singers, a joke about him being introduced as a woman.

What began as a funny comment evolved into discomfort. A content creator responded to Balvin's comment, calling him "messy" and also said such behavior was why Bad Bunny and Residente had criticized him in some of his songs.

But the Colombian did not hold back and responded: "I'm going to make it clear to you, gossiper, because that's what you are and hater by far, Nicky Jam and I are brothers and I laugh and comment on his jokes.

"I said "champion" because I laugh at his situation", making it clear that his comment made reference to the episode Nicky starred in. Nothing to do with the Trump-led political campaign in the United States.

With this situation, J Balvin joins the long list of artists who do not allow internet users to judge them on social networks and from there generate hate.

The post in question no longer exists...

Last Friday, Nicky Jam, posted a photo next to Trump, wearing a cap with the phrase "Make America Great Again" after speaking on stage and said: "It is an honor for me to meet you, Mr. President. People who come from where I come from don't have the opportunity to meet the president."

The publication generated an endless number of controversial comments, but one of the reactions that has given more to talk about is that of Maná, and is that the Mexican band decided to put an end to the collaboration they had together, and said: "Maná does not work with racists. 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," the group wrote.

However, many Puerto Ricans and immigrants from Latin American countries, who have been the target of Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric, criticized him harshly on the networks. So much so, that Nicky took the post down.
