Le Batard & Friends - South Beach Sessions Nicky Jam
"I don't know if God brung me here to get a lot off my chest..."
Nicky Jam, a beloved Latin icon recognized around the world as a Reggaeton pioneer, shares with Dan the harsh truth about the isolating nature of fame, his battle through addiction, and the chaotic struggle for authentic connections in the spotlight.
In what Nicky describes as “the best interview I’ve ever done”, Dan guides him through the demons he had to confront in his family dynamics and artistry in the quest for inner peace and happiness beyond the superficial trappings of success.
This is where vulnerability and authenticity collide to remind all of us that we’re not alone.
