Singer Nicky Jam has retracted his endorsement of Donald Trump in response to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe joking about Puerto Rico at the presidential hopeful’s recent rally.

The “Insomnio” artist shared an Instagram video on Wednesday announcing his change of heart, just one month after publicly voicing his support of Trump.

“The reason I supported Donald Trump is because I believed it was best for the United States economy, where a lot of Latinos live … a lot of immigrants that are suffering over the state of the economy,” Jam said, translated from Spanish using Google Translate. “With him being a businessman, I felt it was the right move.”
