You know, when we’re growing up, we all have some idols or role models who really shape us, especially during our teenage years. Sometimes, they have such a big impact on us that they can influence our personalities. So, it’s kind of funny to realize that our idols, just like us, also have their own idols or people who influenced them when they were coming up. Sometimes we forget they’re human too, and they don’t let their fame get in the way of being fans themselves.
A perfect example of this is Nicki Nicole, who, despite being one of the most important urban artists and having millions of followers, experienced a fan moment with the YouTuber, Rubius. Nicki couldn’t contain her excitement when he talked about her during one of his live streams. Rubius mentioned that Nicki has over 19 million followers and how she’s grown so much since her days as a ‘Rubier,’ and how her life has taken off.
Rubius: «Nicki tiene 19M de seguidores, ha crecido mucho, desde que dejó de ser rubier su vida empezó a triunfar, bien hecho Nicki Nicole»

Nicki mentioned that since she started making music, she’s had to hide her excitement when interacting with her idols. However, when Rubius mentioned her, she couldn’t help but feel like a big fan all over again.

It’s clear that the admiration is mutual. Rubius responded to Nicki Nicole’s unexpected message, expressing his surprise that people with such impact and talent, like her, grew up watching his videos, which he’s been creating since 2006. He shared that it’s a wonderful feeling to know that his work has influenced them and that they continue to succeed.
Yo sigo sin asimilar que gente con tanto impacto y talento como tu hayan crecido viendo mis videos y que les haya marcado de alguna manera, es una sensacion muy bonita. Sigue rompiendola <3 https://t.co/WtCWGdTYnI
