Popular skit maker Nasty Blaq has publicly denied romantic involvement with Davido’s cousin Niko, dismissing circulating rumors about their relationship status. The clarification came via his X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, where he emphasized his committed relationship with his partner Esther.
“The LOML is Esther. Nikos and I are just very good friends. Bloggers please stop the agenda,” he wrote, referencing their recent comedy collaboration that sparked speculation. The statement has drawn mixed reactions across social media platforms.
While some fans applauded his transparency, others questioned the necessity of the public clarification. “Why you dey explain?” one user commented, while another joked, “You go explain explain tire no evidence .” Several followers humorously redirected his attention to ongoing football matches instead of addressing rumors.
The incident highlights the persistent public scrutiny surrounding celebrity friendships in Nigeria’s entertainment industry. Relationship experts note this reflects broader cultural tensions around male-female platonic relationships, with one commenter asserting, “A man can never be just friends with a woman he’s attracted to.”
Nasty Blaq’s viral skits and close industry connections continue keeping him in the public eye, with this latest clarification adding to his growing media narrative. Entertainment analysts suggest such denials may become more frequent as Nigerian celebrities navigate increasing fan curiosity about their personal lives.
