Porquería literally translates to "filth" or "junk", derived from puerco (pig). It's a powerful, colloquial word used here as a very strong insult.
In the song, Nicky Jam sings, "Dile al noviecito tuyo... que él es una porquería" (Tell that little boyfriend of yours... that he's a piece of trash). This blunt and emotional insult reveals his raw contempt for his rival, adding a dramatic edge that makes you want to hear the whole story.
Nicky Jam is completely fed up with being the secret lover in this song. He lays it all out from the very first line: "Ya yo me cansé, no quiero ser tu amante" (I'm tired, I don't want to be your lover). He's tired of seeing this other guy, her official boyfriend, act like he owns her when he doesn't even appreciate her. The singer's pride is hurt, and he's not hiding it.
This whole song is basically his big move to win her over for good. He's telling her to tell her boyfriend that with him, she feels cold ("que con él te sientes fría") and that he's a piece of trash ("una porquería"). It's so blunt! He's confident he's the one she truly wants, the one who is the "dueño de tu fantasía" (owner of your fantasy). He's putting the choice in her hands, telling her she has to decide if she wants to keep suffering with the other guy. But he's pretty sure he knows what her choice will be.
