Nicole Chikwe Recalls Graphic Online Backlash She Faced When Her Romance with Naeto C Became Public

Nicole Chikwe, wife of Naeto C, Nigerian rapper, has spoken on how brutal the online bashing she went through after their relationship went public 14 years ago.

In an emotional narration, Nicole explained that she spent years going through trollers on social media, particularly after she began a relationship with the rapper.

Nicole was just 22, and her relationship with Naeto C, one of the leading artists in the Nigerian music industry, became the subject of very nasty online attacks.

Users of social media, especially on platforms like Twitter, quickly descended on her appearance, with many users making nasty comments about her facial shape, body, hair, nose, and teeth. The criticism, though, wasn’t just over her physical appearance but also came about due to comments made suggesting that Naeto C, who was the rising star at the time, was owed a beauty partner who resembled a more average-looking beauty.

One of the most hurtful moments for Nicole in December 2010 was when a secondary school classmate publicly tweeted that though Nicole was a nice person, she did not rank among the top 100 good-looking women in Lagos. The tweet also insinuated that Naeto C could have someone “better” than Nicole. This public comment hurt her, and she found herself grappling with matters of self-doubt and inadequacy.

Despite the emotional toll, Nicole turned this experience into an opportunity for personal growth. Over the years, she developed resilience and self-love, refusing to allow the criticism to define her. Today, she reflects on her journey with a newfound sense of confidence. “I used to cry about it, but I’m not crying anymore. I’m now the 17th finest girl in Lagos,” she confidently stated, emphasizing how far she has come since those difficult times.

Nicole’s story is a touching testament to the strength of online trolling and the importance of self-love in times of hardship. She believes that her experience of overcoming online bashing has been a watershed moment in her life and a source of strength.

Nicole and Naeto C got married in 2012 and have since built a solid family life, having three children together. Theirs has been a real testament to love and strength in the face of the worst public criticism, and they have shown that self-belief and love can overcome even the worst of the worst of criticism.

Nicole’s tale continues to inspire numerous people who have been exposed to similar cyberbulling, proving that with a good attitude, one can beat negativity and embrace one’s actual worth.
