This whole interview made me cry. Not because I feel bad, but I do, but because it takes a lot to be honest and vulnerable about real shit that’s happened to you and things you are going through. I’m going to keep Nicky in my prayers for better days. Sending him a huge hug.
more latin artists please!! this was amazing and so inspiring because latinos dont typically talk about these subjects so openly and most of us come from the same humble beginnings❤
Thank you for this comment ❤️ I was shocked in this interview bc I have never seen a latino man share such vulnerable thoughts. We have to normalize opening up and healing these traumas
Im 45 and remember growing up in Puerto Rico during the birth of Reggeaton. Went to all the Festivals of each town (Fiestas Patronales), Beach parties, House parties you name it. Seeing the people you grew up with up close and personal for free might I add, and bond with, to than see them many years later be world wide and achieving so much makes one feel proud inside. from where they are from, have been and gone thru in life. Hard to explain. I too was born outside of PR but raised there since i was 10 yrs old. I too always felt at times like I was not neither from here nor there. That made me leave and seek my path. Nicky is one artist I who I looked to for inspiration knowing I see a lot of myself in him. Boricua hasta en la Luna! Orgulloso de ti brother.
Nicky Jamm is a Legend I have him right behind Daddy Yankee as the 2 Artist that took the reggeton genre Global alot of these big dog Executives from these Distribution Labels laugh at what has happen wit reggeton especially the Trap genre idk if anyone knows who Spiff TV is an Orlando local he had the vision way before as well he had Anuel AA signed to MMG let him soak in all the work Rick Ross was putting in during the Port of Miami Album he was the first one to put Future, Bad Bunny, Anuel AA Song called THINKIN Animated style super 🔥 im sure they believe after those #'s of that song I wanna say Anuel AA sent his vocals from Prison crazy that it's probaly they Biggest Genre in Music 🤞🏻🇵🇷Hasta La Muerte
Addiction it is no easy. Any addiction is hard to stop it. But people NEVER give up. Get help. People has to remember not to let something or someone to control you. About Nicky, he is my favorite singer. I even went to his bakery. Amazing interview. Wow tremenda entrevista. 🇵🇷
I grew up with Nicky Jam and used to throw parties. I'm so happy to see him and hus growth. Put me in tears listening a couple of times. God bless you, and im so proud of you❤🙏🏼
Buddy this not a lie im this a real thumbnail is real maybe they didn’t talk about it but is a real thing coming from Nicky jam he has a tv show bad part for u that is in Spanish
I Love Nicky’s Law for Life, “HUG YOURSELF” That literally made me want to cry. Thank you Brother for saying that. I have been through so much shit in my life, I always felt I was never doing enough for my family or friends!! I really need to 😢FUCKEN HUG and LOVE MYSELF!! I declare many blessings and happiness to all of you reading this. GOD LOVES YOU!!!!
I’m a heroin addict . I’m sober a year now . And this is everything thank you for this interview Nikki . My names Nicole ppl call me Nikki as well So it feels like your talking to me through me 🙏❤🙏
Congratulations on this major accomplishment. Keep fighting. Each day, we are given new opportunities...a fresh chance to do better than the day before. If you're a Believer, the Lord gives new blessings each day. Imagine that. I applaud you for fighting.
Wow only 14 minutes in and Nicky’s level of honesty and openness is SO refreshing….most people would never volunteer this info especially on a big stage like this. Respect brotha. Keep healing. Keep sharing your story it helps us heal as well 🙏🏼
This is another level of vulnerability, this guy is so real and this whole conversation is therapy for not just him but many of us. Thank you Jay for always bringing the best❤
Watched the netflix series twice, my heart breaks for the young man he was, makes me happy to see what he has overcome, and pray he continues to grow in life and love
We want more Hispanics inspiring guests on this show please! So much respect to my forever reggaetonero crush … for being vulnerable and so open and so real..I remember feeling frustrated when he wasn’t making as much music as daddy yankee and the others and it wasn’t till his Netflix documentary came out that i realized I knew nothing about him and his upbringings but It didn’t change anything on the contrary I think I liked him even more 🥰 you’re an amazing human being Nicky I really hope I get to meet you some day 🙏🏽
I love this guy. Every interview I watch I can see his transparency and genuine heart. God bless you Nick! I grew up in the same city where he was born, Lawrence Massachusetts and always wished to bump into him whenever he stopped by his hometown when he had concerts in Boston. One day 🙌🙌
I met him at one of his concerts in Boston, and he was truly one of the most down to earth, kind, respectful people I’ve ever met! The Black Carpet is still one of my favorite albums - it’s such a masterpiece!
@@aida_amoreI met him when his career was so down he was fat.... I met him outside of Madison square garden...he was trying to get in to the big event of those time reggaeton fest...

I remember watching his Netflix story and that was one of the most genuine experiences I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing. His story was ugly yet beautiful, never tried to paint himself as anything, kept it 💯 and Nicky became one of my favorite humans. He has a good core, is honest, I wish him nothing but blessings… this guy deserves his flowers 🫡
Its rare to see a Latin Artist be interviewed, thank you for doing this interview! Love his authenticity. And the messages he had to share. Live your life on your terms! 🇵🇷 🇨🇴❤️
I dont have, never had social media. I last saw you on the Netflix doc. I also saw you walking South down Fairfax as I was driving up about to hit Melrose street. I spotted you with your peeps. I recognized you and yelled out "Nicky!" You lifted your arms and looked my way and said yo! I kept driving and felt so happy it was you, that was enough to be able to give you a shout out like that. Your music is dope. You are dope. Keep on keeping on. Its nice to see you again. Much love.
Nicky, we are all sinners. I pray that you give your life to Jesus and ask for deliverance. We are proud of you. You are an amazing human being. ❤🎉 🇵🇷🇩🇴 don't give up. Everyone struggles with something.
Proud to say dis has ALWAYS been my favorite artist since the first time I heard him in 2000 when I was like 6yrs old goin to the beach with my older cousin and his boys… I still remember that shit like it was yesterday.. Nicky Nicky jam Yo 💪🏼💪🏼
I swear to god this is why I respect, follow and love Nicky. His story resonates with me SO MUCHHHHH and the fact that he himself isn’t fully understood at times makes me feel like I’m not crazy. People with traumatic experiences do have mental breakdowns and anxiety! I FUCKS WITH YOU NICKY
I have seen Jay Shetty grow up, the best thing he could have done was to do this interview where you can see the best representative that a Latino could want. Thank you both for providing this space for reflection.
It’s insane to realize how generational trauma is being recognized in these times, now people are more aware of therapy, meditation and all the tools… social media has been a big part of it where humans can share their experiences and feelings and feel connected and heal 🩷 I think nowadays there so much anxiety, depression, ptsd because newer generations are facing all of hardships and issues that impacted us when were children. I believe we’re breaking the cycle and stopping generation trauma ,creating better ways to cope with stress and just circumstances that life brings,which older generations did not know better. As a society I believe we are improving, we are seeking therapy, Exercising, talking and doing things to help us. Hopefully all these mental illnesses are lessened with the newer generations 🙏🏼👏🏽
you said it so well! our generation will definitely work things out thru therapy and educating themselves as they should.maybe we didn't deserve things that happened to us but improving and realising that we can change not only for us but for next generation to come is more than possible.
I’m sober 3 years and really enjoyed this interview. He was so vulnerable and open, this showed me a side of him I didn’t see before. He’s gone through so much and I hope he finds his friend Billy and they get to catch up! I think it takes great strength to openly speak about all the things he did so after seeing this I’m an even bigger fan! 🙌🏼
I'm 52. Grew up in a really bad neighborhood in Ponce Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. The things we see at an early age are nightmares in movies. Most of my friends from those years are dead. N sadly I'm not proud of many things I did. So yup, we developed some kinda pts that affect our behavior forever - the way we talk, the way we react, everything. But we got stronger and resilient. Now, I'm living in Europe. Pa'lante siempre. 🇵🇷🇵🇱
Even though Puerto Rico’s system and relation with the US is at its worst moment ever! I’m proud to tell you that Our society has improved a lot, less kids nowadays but better parents! And while drug abuse continues to grow in the US, here in PR the drug epidemic has officially ended. Half the puntos closed and the other half make scraps.. Young Puerto Ricans DO NOT like or tolerate hard drugs!! To be honest they dont even drink as much as us 80s babies,, However cannabis is at an all time High in the island!!💨🌬️💨 Saludos desde Lirios del Sur!!
The medical cannabis is a good thing. Hopefully PR goes the way of the states, as far as adult legalization and recreational use, delivery. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the drug use and stuff is down but cannabis is up. That’s great!
Nicky, you have no idea the difference and the good impact your words have made to so many of us. People don’t talk about mental health the way you do it. The perspective we have about famous people is wrong, media make us think that your life is wonderful. This was a great talk!
Nicky, so humble of you to say you don't want to be Noones teacher. Instead, what I'm getting is that you want to continue to be a student of life. I think that's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your deepest feelings❤
Coming from a victim of child abuse and now a mother that fucked up; I can promise you your momma loves you with all her heart; regrets everything and you were meant to go thru what you did to help others. ADD and very spiritual myself; I still struggle but I get it. You are doing great Nicky! ❤❤❤
What a great interview! His realness, humbleness, sincerity really touched me. I met him once on the streets of NY and my husband stopped him for a picture and he was the nicest person! God bless him and keep him in the right path. He has so much to offer the world! And like he said…..we all need a hug!
You are a genuine and amazing human being Nicky☝🏼🙏🏼💯👏🏼Thank you for bringing Nicky Jam on your show Jay. You took the time to listen without interruptions and asked excellent questions. This was truly a great interview.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I went on an emotional roller coaster of emotions listening to Nicky Jam….. I love his heart, his vulnerability, the honesty in which he intricately opens his heart and soul to us, he’s a true artist but most importantly an amazing perfectly imperfect human being… we love you Nicky❤❤❤
FINALLY! Nicky JAM Always Spits out nothing but the TRUTH OF HIS LIFE JOURNEY! Love his DOCUMENTARY! He went thru the fire and got to the other side! Stay humble with an Open Heart & Stay your true self and keeping it Real! Nicky Jam. Great interview thank you Guys! ❤ 💯🇵🇷
This is a great artist. I saw him in concert some years back in Florida and I was floored that he could sing. Unexpected. I also saw a clip of one of his daughter’s and her voice was through the roof. Nicky Jam is open and I appreciate being able to listen to his story. Thank you. Nicky Jam fan for life 👍🏼🎊🎈🎉🥳
Jay Shetty, sin falta de respeto. Las dos entrevistas de Nicky Jam el Artista en su canal y Lewis Howes muy buen hechos. Mi corazon y alma me dice que el suyo llego mas con intention y facilidad. Nicky Jam was comfortable with you & the interview was beyond excellent. I believe yours was first. I am Latina huge Nicky Jam fan. This interview is going to go VIRAL and worldwide. J. Shetty you bring a spiritual environment. Gracias
Growing up listening to Nicky Jam, he was the first reggaeton artist that I felt connected to through his music and his content. I remember when he would post on Instagram being goofy and me and my Colombian mom would watch him and laugh so hard. Nicky reminds me so much of my older brother who passed. Watching interview felt very comforting and I love how open and vulnerable he was. I pray he keeps getting closer to God. 🇨🇴 loves you Nickyy thanks for the love back
Nicky Jam es ejemplo de que los sueños se cumplen sin importar cuan dificil haya sido! Empezó de cero y lo logró!! Se que algún dia lo lograré en la música también🇵🇷
Jay. Thank you for giving Nicky this platform to express himself. I am Puertorican and feel so proud of him for overcoming all of those hardships. It brakes my heart to know that there are many other kids going through the same poverty , drug / hood situation. On another note, I wish Nicky would get extra support to deal with his past trauma ( Complex PTSD) There are so many new modalities that can help to regulate his nervous system. He has the means to get a good Theraphist. I feel that can help with having tools to deal with the unfinished business from the past. Sending all my love to both of you 🙌♥️
Jay, help him find his friend by finding him someone that dedicates themselves to finding people- There are skilled people out there that would love to do that. He has enough information for this person to be found. ( oh lord ! How many times did I used the word “find “ Lmao) 🤣
I lived in the same building in Miami where he lived although we weren’t friends and chatted when he and his friends would come play basketball he would always say hello and be very polite. My hat is off to this guy.
Nicky Jam will forever be one of my favorite artist! He opens up and is so honest with himself. That’s why he’s so successful because he knows his failures and where he must built and correct to succeed.
Nicky is resilient, life throughs us challenges and we fall short, we are human. Not matter, Nicky always comes back. We fight sometime at steps in the day, minutes in the day, but those who love us will be there. But taking out the things that you know you don't need will keep us grounded. Prayers to you. Copper
Nicky jam is a good person. Life has handed him some bad hands but he has kept his big heart through it all. Blessings to him. I hope he finds help to heal from the trauma.
Best thing to do against his anxiety is to go into a monastery where he tries to stay in the present moment for a month or 2 with people who are on the same path. Your life will change when your memory of your vision in the future is stronger than the memories of the past
I don't get tired of seeing this man talk after all his interviews everywhere! I love Nicky Jam ♥️ siempre! I'm a fan since tus ojos me estan Mirando yo no soy tu Marido. I grew up with classic reggeaton because of my family. I am in love with old school reggeaton and now 😍 I'm the same with my sense of humor in bad situations So happy to see him ❤
Nikki I am poor and I feel lonely, I don’t have anyone to talk to that wants to sit and listen. A big reason why you opened up so well to Jay. Being lonely is something that has to do with your self. Being comfortable and happy by your self. Just like you said, at the end it’s only us not the Ferrari or the big house. Today I was just analyzing how many times I died and was born again, and I can hear how many times you have also had to go thru that feeling. I’m glad you remind us how real eveyone still is with money or without. Much love 🫶🏻
"When people give you the love and they say you are the best, you believe it." "I did believe I was the best until I became the best." That's how powerful it is to getting the genuine love and support from the people around us, so we can bloom to our most highest selves.❤ I can see how deeply he is grateful for Colombia, and he definitely wants to give back.
This helped me so much! I saw my entire life flash before my eyes as you retold your story. It was so ironic how the anxiety, the past, my friends being my family more than my own family. My entire family is addicts. I am also an addict Overcoming trauma Regaining awareness etc, the emotions, triggers, all of it, the realness, the real reality of life. I’ve done the same and also smoke. I’ve been trying to stop. Over and over. I’ve learned to accept and embrace who I am through all moments. Even the inconveniences! Thank you so much for this story! Life altering experience About to be married in 7 days 4 kids Living life better than I have ever in my entire life
Congratulations 🎉please stay positive an motivated. I completely understand you… you’re doing it!! Stay focus, do it for you… and yes embrace and love yourself!! God bless, you got this..🙏🏻👍😊
Nicky jam is such an humble and honest as i see, i am a big fan of his music. Respect for his hard work and as a person. Thanks for the podcast as well man!!
Thank you for being so open Nicky Jam.. I grew up in similar circumstances and I applaud people like us .. that choose wisdom and healing. It’s not an easy process but it’s worth it. And like you said, you’re not perfect and we aren’t meant to be. You inspire me to simply be me.. Who I am as a person, as a human, is who I really am.
I LOVE Nicki Jam. Been a fan of his since I was a teenager. He’s one of the best to ever do it! ❤ Nicki I know you don’t like to be put on a pedestal and want your fans to see you as human and we do. We want you to stay on a good path because we’ve seen your highs and lows and we don’t want you going back to a dark place. We want you to do well. We’re rooting for you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I can’t wait to look back, be like “ wow this was the most genuine things and raw energy I saw “ 11:29pm 9/2/24 Living at the 801, if ykyk… In my room, with the family, this is so dope thank you jay. Y Nicky gracias Hermano! Jay you never miss one love for both of you 🙏🏽
This is so important for him to open up about and get off his chest. There is freedom when we bring things to light. He needs peace and freedom from the things that have a hold on him.
This interview touched my heart. I'm sober of cocaïne about 2 years. But i struggle every day with ptsd. This interview help me a lot❤ thanks for open up to us🙏 WE ARE JUST HUMAN BEEING❤❤❤
I’ve been listening Nicky since 2018 though I don’t understand the lyrics but I enjoy his music so much and till today I listen to him.. Music has no language ❤ and get to know you through this podcast u won my heart🍻..
Thanks for being vulnerable Nicky. I pray you go back to the root of the trauma and begin your healing journey. Addiction is real you can do it. I wish you peace and healing🦋🦋
It's totally okay to not be interested in drinking alcohol! Your friends should respect your decision. You can always suggest alternative activities or simply let them know that you prefer not to drink. Your true friends will understand and support your choices.Sure thing! When it comes to friends pressuring you to drink, it's important to stand your ground and communicate your boundaries. It's great that you know what you're comfortable with and are sticking to it. If they continue to pressure you, it might be worth having a heart-to-heart conversation with them about respecting your choices. It's all about mutual respect and understanding.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a whole jay shetty podcast in its entirety until now. I liked Nicky before and have a lot of respect for him now after listening to this. Very insightful, humble, real.
Such an amazing unfiltered interview! I wish more artists and people would be this truthful and transparent! It’s so Inspiring! Great job with giving him the floor to be so open! This is much appreciated
I can relate with Nicky on so many different levels. If we were to have a conversation I'm pretty sure we would both be very surprised on how our lives are filled with the same type of intense feelings. I really hope God protects and guides him. He has a huge heart and we need more people like him. Famous or not, doesn't matter.
This interview brought me to tears. We never know what people are going through. I love his music, and I admire him more for showing his vulnerability and sharing his trauma and all of his struggles. His awareness of his struggles shows so much growth. Keep going Nicky Nicky Nicky Jam. You have no idea how many people's lives you're touching.
This whole interview made me cry. Not because I feel bad, but I do, but because it takes a lot to be honest and vulnerable about real shit that’s happened to you and things you are going through. I’m going to keep Nicky in my prayers for better days. Sending him a huge hug.
❤❤❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Same here
Praying for him Especially those struggles that haunt him 🙏🙏🙏☝️☝️
Nicky Jesus Christ will heal your soul and heart.
Yes u re right
We need to find Billy for Nicky . This man has gone thru so much and has came a long way he deserves to find his friend .
i'll try and do some research, i live in Mass

YES! Nicky will find his childhood friend. God bless u Nicky. Sending you light & love.
I was thinking the same thing. We need to find Billy

Jay is so a great interviewer. He does not interrupt but listens and know when to ask questions. I love it ❤️

With the way this guy is rambling, I kind of wish he would sometimes.

I agree, it's so taboo in our culture to even express our deepest problems. It's time to let go and let it out.

Buddy this not a lie im this a real thumbnail is real maybe they didn’t talk about it but is a real thing coming from Nicky jam he has a tv show bad part for u that is in Spanish
@10I94bucko how do you know people don’t understand Spanish? Just because a comment is in English don’t mean anything.
Plus subtitles exist
This is a duo I would've never imagined together and I LOVE it.
I don't really consider myself a reggaeton lover, but Nicky was / is /will be a legend in my country: COLOMBIA.
I Love Nicky’s Law for Life,
“HUG YOURSELF”
That literally made me want to cry.
Thank you Brother for saying that.
I have been through so much shit in my life, I always felt I was never doing enough for my family or friends!!

Yes I'm going to watch it again it's so inspiring every time I listen to his music his docs series always pop up in my mind ❤
It’s insane to realize how generational trauma is being recognized in these times, now people are more aware of therapy, meditation and all the tools… social media has been a big part of it where humans can share their experiences and feelings and feel connected and heal 🩷 I think nowadays there so much anxiety, depression, ptsd because newer generations are facing all of hardships and issues that impacted us when were children.
I believe we’re breaking the cycle and stopping generation trauma ,creating better ways to cope with stress and just circumstances that life brings,which older generations did not know better.
As a society I believe we are improving, we are seeking therapy,
Exercising, talking and doing things to help us. Hopefully all these mental illnesses are lessened with the newer generations 🙏🏼👏🏽
you said it so well! our generation will definitely work things out thru therapy and educating themselves as they should.maybe we didn't deserve things that happened to us but improving and realising that we can change not only for us but for next generation to come is more than possible.
I’m sober 3 years and really enjoyed this interview. He was so vulnerable and open, this showed me a side of him I didn’t see before. He’s gone through so much and I hope he finds his friend Billy and they get to catch up! I think it takes great strength to openly speak about all the things he did so after seeing this I’m an even bigger fan! 🙌🏼
I'm 52. Grew up in a really bad neighborhood in Ponce Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. The things we see at an early age are nightmares in movies. Most of my friends from those years are dead. N sadly I'm not proud of many things I did. So yup, we developed some kinda pts that affect our behavior forever - the way we talk, the way we react, everything. But we got stronger and resilient. Now, I'm living in Europe.
Pa'lante siempre. 🇵🇷🇵🇱
Así se habla!!!!👍😊
Even though Puerto Rico’s system and relation with the US is at its worst moment ever! I’m proud to tell you that Our society has improved a lot, less kids nowadays but better parents! And while drug abuse continues to grow in the US, here in PR the drug epidemic has officially ended. Half the puntos closed and the other half make scraps.. Young Puerto Ricans DO NOT like or tolerate hard drugs!! To be honest they dont even drink as much as us 80s babies,, However cannabis is at an all time High in the island!!💨🌬️💨 Saludos desde Lirios del Sur!!
The medical cannabis is a good thing. Hopefully PR goes the way of the states, as far as adult legalization and recreational use, delivery. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the drug use and stuff is down but cannabis is up. That’s great!
@@erikm8372 Thing is many States and Canada also medicalised/legalised Cannabis yet drug use is at an all-time in The US and Canada!
I'm here for the Polish flag 😅
Nicky Jam’s life experiencie its an example of resilience. All the love to Nicky from Colombia 🇨🇴
Nicky, you have no idea the difference and the good impact your words have made to so many of us. People don’t talk about mental health the way you do it. The perspective we have about famous people is wrong, media make us think that your life is wonderful. This was a great talk!
Nicky, so humble of you to say you don't want to be Noones teacher. Instead, what I'm getting is that you want to continue to be a student of life. I think that's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your deepest feelings❤
I am a Puerto Rican from NYC and I love Nicky Jam. My favorite record of his is "hasta el amanecer"
Coming from a victim of child abuse and now a mother that fucked up; I can promise you your momma loves you with all her heart; regrets everything and you were meant to go thru what you did to help others. ADD and very spiritual myself; I still struggle but I get it. You are doing great Nicky! ❤❤❤
Thank you for being vulnerable and honest. I know it’s not taught culturally for men. I hope you find your childhood friend 💛
What a great interview! His realness, humbleness, sincerity really touched me. I met him once on the streets of NY and my husband stopped him for a picture and he was the nicest person! God bless him and keep him in the right path. He has so much to offer the world! And like he said…..we all need a hug!
So glad you enjoyed!
You are a genuine and amazing human being Nicky☝🏼🙏🏼💯👏🏼Thank you for bringing Nicky Jam on your show Jay. You took the time to listen without interruptions and asked excellent questions. This was truly a great interview.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I went on an emotional roller coaster of emotions listening to Nicky Jam….. I love his heart, his vulnerability, the honesty in which he intricately opens his heart and soul to us, he’s a true artist but most importantly an amazing perfectly imperfect human being… we love you Nicky❤❤❤
Can we please have an update about whether or not he finds Billy? 😊
ill def be checking his IG i hope he at least posts a story if he does😅❤
I think I found him. Assuming that I have the correct spelling of his last name.
Who's Billie?
@amgooder did you even listen😂
@@Vtecbird😂 Right
Man, his answer to question number 5 made me cry. What an empathetic human being ❤ We all do need a hug.
FINALLY! Nicky JAM Always Spits out nothing but the TRUTH OF HIS LIFE JOURNEY! Love his DOCUMENTARY! He went thru the fire and got to the other side! Stay humble with an Open Heart & Stay your true self and keeping it Real!
Nicky Jam. Great interview thank you Guys!
❤ 💯🇵🇷
Thank you!!!
This is a great artist. I saw him in concert some years back in Florida and I was floored that he could sing. Unexpected. I also saw a clip of one of his daughter’s and her voice was through the roof. Nicky Jam is open and I appreciate being able to listen to his story. Thank you. Nicky Jam fan for life 👍🏼🎊🎈🎉🥳
"I ain't trying to be stupid anymore " I felt that !! 😂😂 No point in arguing
Jay Shetty, sin falta de respeto. Las dos entrevistas de Nicky Jam el Artista en su canal y Lewis Howes muy buen hechos. Mi corazon y alma me dice que el suyo llego mas con intention y facilidad. Nicky Jam was comfortable with you & the interview was beyond excellent. I believe yours was first. I am Latina huge Nicky Jam fan. This interview is going to go VIRAL and worldwide. J. Shetty you bring a spiritual environment. Gracias
It really was a pleasure listening to 2 real individuals having a real conversation about everything, and that is so amazing.
Growing up listening to Nicky Jam, he was the first reggaeton artist that I felt connected to through his music and his content. I remember when he would post on Instagram being goofy and me and my Colombian mom would watch him and laugh so hard. Nicky reminds me so much of my older brother who passed. Watching interview felt very comforting and I love how open and vulnerable he was. I pray he keeps getting closer to God. 🇨🇴 loves you Nickyy thanks for the love back
Nicky Jam es ejemplo de que los sueños se cumplen sin importar cuan dificil haya sido! Empezó de cero y lo logró!! Se que algún dia lo lograré en la música también🇵🇷
Jay. Thank you for giving Nicky this platform to express himself. I am Puertorican and feel so proud of him for overcoming all of those hardships. It brakes my heart to know that there are many other kids going through the same poverty , drug / hood situation. On another note, I wish Nicky would get extra support to deal with his past trauma ( Complex PTSD) There are so many new modalities that can help to regulate his nervous system. He has the means to get a good Theraphist. I feel that can help with having tools to deal with the unfinished business from the past. Sending all my love to both of you 🙌♥️
Jay, help him find his friend by finding him someone that dedicates themselves to finding people- There are skilled people out there that would love to do that. He has enough information for this person to be found. ( oh lord ! How many times did I used the word “find “ Lmao) 🤣
I’m from Colombia! Fan of Nicky since 1999, love him and how he is, and hope he can pass through this difficult time❤😊
No one is perfect Nicky. We appreciate your bluntness. Keep pushing forward with God by your side Gods Loves you! Your fans Love you!
Nicky jam has always been real. Keep fighting the fight. Your family and fans love you bro. You got this🤜
I lived in the same building in Miami where he lived although we weren’t friends and chatted when he and his friends would come play basketball he would always say hello and be very polite. My hat is off to this guy.
Nicky Jam will forever be one of my favorite artist! He opens up and is so honest with himself. That’s why he’s so successful because he knows his failures and where he must built and correct to succeed.
Nicky is resilient, life throughs us challenges and we fall short, we are human. Not matter, Nicky always comes back. We fight sometime at steps in the day, minutes in the day, but those who love us will be there. But taking out the things that you know you don't need will keep us grounded. Prayers to you. Copper
Big Nicky Jam fan... so much respect for his vulnerability! ❤
Thank you so much Nicky for opening up like that.
Nicky jam is a good person. Life has handed him some bad hands but he has kept his big heart through it all. Blessings to him. I hope he finds help to heal from the trauma.
When Nicky was talking about how he deals with his mom, I felt seen. Me and my mom are the same way with one another.
I’m beyond grateful for all the vulnerability. I needed to hear this.❤
Nicky is a bag of wisdom , I can tell he is the guy to go to for the best advice real raw advice
Best thing to do against his anxiety is to go into a monastery where he tries to stay in the present moment for a month or 2 with people who are on the same path. Your life will change when your memory of your vision in the future is stronger than the memories of the past
I don't get tired of seeing this man talk after all his interviews everywhere! I love Nicky Jam ♥️ siempre! I'm a fan since tus ojos me estan Mirando yo no soy tu Marido. I grew up with classic reggeaton because of my family. I am in love with old school reggeaton and now 😍
I'm the same with my sense of humor in bad situations
So happy to see him ❤
❤
We love Nicky!!! .... His realness is one of the reasons why.
Do you have my membership card
Nikki I am poor and I feel lonely, I don’t have anyone to talk to that wants to sit and listen. A big reason why you opened up so well to Jay. Being lonely is something that has to do with your self. Being comfortable and happy by your self. Just like you said, at the end it’s only us not the Ferrari or the big house. Today I was just analyzing how many times I died and was born again, and I can hear how many times you have also had to go thru that feeling. I’m glad you remind us how real eveyone still is with money or without. Much love 🫶🏻
"When people give you the love and they say you are the best, you believe it."
"I did believe I was the best until I became the best."
That's how powerful it is to getting the genuine love and support from the people around us, so we can bloom to our most highest selves.❤
I can see how deeply he is grateful for Colombia, and he definitely wants to give back.
This helped me so much!
I saw my entire life flash before my eyes as you retold your story.
It was so ironic how the anxiety, the past, my friends being my family more than my own family.
My entire family is addicts.
I am also an addict
Overcoming trauma
Regaining awareness etc, the emotions, triggers, all of it, the realness, the real reality of life.
I’ve done the same and also smoke. I’ve been trying to stop. Over and over. I’ve learned to accept and embrace who I am through all moments. Even the inconveniences! Thank you so much for this story!
Life altering experience
About to be married in 7 days
4 kids
Living life better than I have ever in my entire life
Congratulations 🎉please stay positive an motivated. I completely understand you… you’re doing it!! Stay focus, do it for you… and yes embrace and love yourself!! God bless, you got this..🙏🏻👍😊
Nicky jam is such an humble and honest as i see, i am a big fan of his music. Respect for his hard work and as a person. Thanks for the podcast as well man!!
I Love Nicky's personality, man! Humble human.
Thank you for being so open Nicky Jam.. I grew up in similar circumstances and I applaud people like us .. that choose wisdom and healing. It’s not an easy process but it’s worth it. And like you said, you’re not perfect and we aren’t meant to be. You inspire me to simply be me.. Who I am as a person, as a human, is who I really am.
I LOVE Nicki Jam. Been a fan of his since I was a teenager. He’s one of the best to ever do it! ❤
Nicki I know you don’t like to be put on a pedestal and want your fans to see you as human and we do. We want you to stay on a good path because we’ve seen your highs and lows and we don’t want you going back to a dark place. We want you to do well. We’re rooting for you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I can’t wait to look back, be like “ wow this was the most genuine things and raw energy I saw “

Living at the 801, if ykyk… In my room, with the family, this is so dope thank you jay. Y Nicky gracias Hermano! Jay you never miss one love for both of you 🙏🏽
This is so important for him to open up about and get off his chest. There is freedom when we bring things to light. He needs peace and freedom from the things that have a hold on him.
This interview touched my heart. I'm sober of cocaïne about 2 years. But i struggle every day with ptsd. This interview help me a lot❤ thanks for open up to us🙏 WE ARE JUST HUMAN BEEING❤❤❤
I’ve been listening Nicky since 2018 though I don’t understand the lyrics but I enjoy his music so much and till today I listen to him.. Music has no language ❤ and get to know you through this podcast u won my heart🍻..
I've been seeing and listening to Nicky since I was little and learned so much of him through this interview. Very proud of you Nicky! ❤
Let’s find Billy!!❤
Thanks for being vulnerable Nicky. I pray you go back to the root of the trauma and begin your healing journey. Addiction is real you can do it. I wish you peace and healing🦋🦋
I love this! By far the best Jay ❤️
Im Colombian and it made me happy to hear all the love he has for us. Likewise my friend
I watched Nicky's docu series on Netflix and it made me love him even more he had to hit rock bottom to rebuild his life and career ❤
❤❤❤
LOVED this interview 🩷 I love how honest Nicky was & the way the interviewer just listened 🩷
It's totally okay to not be interested in drinking alcohol! Your friends should respect your decision. You can always suggest alternative activities or simply let them know that you prefer not to drink. Your true friends will understand and support your choices.Sure thing! When it comes to friends pressuring you to drink, it's important to stand your ground and communicate your boundaries. It's great that you know what you're comfortable with and are sticking to it. If they continue to pressure you, it might be worth having a heart-to-heart conversation with them about respecting your choices. It's all about mutual respect and understanding.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a whole jay shetty podcast in its entirety until now. I liked Nicky before and have a lot of respect for him now after listening to this. Very insightful, humble, real.
i really loved this interview, thank you Jay and thank you Nicky for telling your story so beautifully
So glad you enjoyed!
Such an amazing unfiltered interview! I wish more artists and people would be this truthful and transparent! It’s so Inspiring! Great job with giving him the floor to be so open! This is much appreciated
I love Nicky Jam . He owns up to what he has done and keeps it very real.
Please bring Daddy Yankee on your show I love this seeing Nicky opening up about mental health and it showing me we can open up about our feelings
❤ US Latinos live proud and stand strong! Fat Joe and now Nicky on your show I’m thrilled to watch more Latinos on this podcast 🎉
I can relate with Nicky on so many different levels. If we were to have a conversation I'm pretty sure we would both be very surprised on how our lives are filled with the same type of intense feelings. I really hope God protects and guides him. He has a huge heart and we need more people like him. Famous or not, doesn't matter.
His english is sick. Proud of Nicky 🔥
He was born in Boston mija
@@LeftHookDeadly280 Lawrence lol
This interview brought me to tears. We never know what people are going through. I love his music, and I admire him more for showing his vulnerability and sharing his trauma and all of his struggles. His awareness of his struggles shows so much growth. Keep going Nicky Nicky Nicky Jam. You have no idea how many people's lives you're touching.
❤❤❤
Nicky's Old School Reggaeton is my Favorite.
I love Nicky Jam. He was actually the first artist I ever saw in concert when I was 13 I am so happy to see him on this podcast
🇵🇷🩷
WOW!
this interview was beautiful
Thank you for watching!
Great Interview!! Definitely teared up on some parts. I appreciate his realness ❤
