Nikki reacts to comment made on ‘The 50’
The incident reportedly took place during an episode of The 50, where Prince commented on Nikki’s appearance. Nikki later shared a clip from the episode on X (formerly Twitter) and strongly criticised the remark, calling out his behaviour and questioning his role as a public figure.
‘Mocking someone behind their back isn’t power’
Sharing the clip online, Nikki wrote a hard-hitting note, calling Prince a “so-called husband, father and public figure.” She wrote, “So-called husband, father, public figure. If someone spoke about your daughter’s body like this, would you laugh too? This isn’t strategy. This isn’t a game. This is body-shaming done quietly – the coward’s way.”
She further added, “Cameras don’t cancel character. Influence doesn’t excuse disrespect. Mocking someone behind their back isn’t power. If you have something to say, say it to the face. Behind-the-back mocking isn’t strength – it’s fear pretending to be confidence. And influence without responsibility? That’s not leadership. That’s failure. That’s weakness with an audience”
