Nikko Natividad went viral on social media after he directly criticized Vice Ganda amid the issue he was facing after he called out “EXpecially For You” participant Axel Cruz.
In his post, Nikko expressed his support for Axel, saying that Vice put him in an embarrassing situation on national television.
“Naawa lang ako sa lalaki na may nagawang mali pero hindi niya talaga intensyon. At syempre dun sa babae,” said Nikko. “Sobra lang kasi napahiya ‘yung lalaki na sasabihan pa na tatadyakan at pwede kasuhan,”
“ALAM KO KASI PAKIRAMDAM NG PINAPAHIYA SA TV AT NAPOPOWERTRIP BASE SA EXPERIENCE KO,” he added.
However, many people didn’t know that Nikko and Vice were close during the stint of the former hashtag member on It’s Showtime.
Vice even declared Nikko as his favorite member of the Hashtag.
And because Nikko was Vice’s favorite, the comedian always mentioned the former hashtag members on the show.
One of the moments between Vice and Nikko was when the comedian revealed that they tried to open the wallet of the former hashtag member and discovered that he only had P800.
“Dahil wala nanamang pera si Nikko, natagpuan nanaman siya sa Parlor,” Vice said.
Some fans believed that Vice was insinuating that Nikko was visiting a gay parlor to earn extra income.
