Mexican pop-rock band Maná has removed its 2016 song 'De pies a cabeza' featuring Nicky Jam after the reggaeton singer expressed his support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The band stated on Instagram that it 'does not work with racists,' emphasizing their long-standing commitment to supporting Latino rights.
Nicky Jam speaks as Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump listens during a campaign event at the World Market Center, Friday, Sept.13, 2024, in Las Vegas.
"Maná does not work with racists," the group said in an Instagram post explaining the decision to remove "De pies a cabeza" from online platforms. The song is a remix of the 1992 original included on Maná's classic album "¿Dónde jugarán los niños?" Jam, known for songs such as "Travesuras," "Voy a Beber" and the J Balvin collaboration "X" expressed his support for Trump last Friday at a rally in Las Vegas. When introducing the singer, Trump seemed to mistake him for a woman: "Latin Music superstar Nicky Jam! Do you know Nicky, she's hot. Where's Nicky?" he said.
Maná has supported the cause of migrants in the United States for more than two decades. In 2018, upon receiving the Latin Recording Academy's Person of the Year award, their vocalist Fher Olvera promised: "We will continue to fight for the rights of migrants who have made this country great; in the last century, they were the difference for this country to be as great as it is.
