“Maná doesn’t work with racists,” read an image posted on the band’s Instagram page.

A statement in Spanish on the caption 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.”

Following Maná’s statement, many Latin celebrities commented to share their support. Alicia Machado, who won Miss Universe in 1996 when Trump owned the organization, replied, “Consistency in your actions is the balm of those who defend an ideal! Thank you, I’m totally Mana generation.”

Nicky Jam’s endorsement of Trump came after the former U.S. president misgendered the singer, which Kamala Harris’ social media team noted to poke fun at him.

“Do you know Nicky? She’s hot. Where’s Nicky?” Trump said in his introduction of Nicky Jam.

Nicky Jam’s endorsement of Donald Trump comes as Kamala Harris received Taylor Swift’s endorsement, seemingly upsetting the former president. Trump took to his social media platform Truth to say, “I Hate Taylor Swift.”

Maná’s desire to distance themselves from Trump comes as other artists have done the same, such as Linda Rondstadt, Jack White, Foo Fighters, Celine Dion, ABBA and many more.
