Um, so I just came across two old videos on Love Island USA’s Nic‘s TikTok page, and they’re very controversial. He spoke about girls under 18 in one post, and in another, he appeared to be cutting off the fur of a cat with his friend in a really sensitive video.

Love Island USA’s Nic’s old videos have resurfaced

Nic doesn’t appear to have deleted any of his old videos despite going on Love Island USA – and that includes literal posts of him kissing his ex-girlfriend. Now, an old video of him and a friend, who appears to be cutting a cat’s fur off, has resurfaced.
He also used the hashtag “#chinese” in the video, which people found very offensive. Even TikTok placed a sensitive warning over the top of the video due to the nature of the animal appearing uncomfortable and lying in what appears to be a vet room.

The caption reads: “He say he hungry this p**** a kitchen #fyp #foryoupage #chinese.” It comes just days after Cierra, who he is coupled up with, lost 120K followers after an old photo of her using a racial slur was discovered on her Instagram Story highlights.

One video showed him revealing what he finds ‘hot’

So, in one video that seemingly appears innocent before clicking on it, is when Nic reveals who he believes are the “hottest girls on TikTok.” Guess what came after that? Yep, he said, “You’re all under 18,” and even proceeded to tag people like Charli D’Amelio.

He shared the post in 2019, when he would have been just 19 himself, as he’s currently 24 years old. Nic even liked loads of girls who commented and said they “love a legal king” – as Nic does wave his fingers to seemingly insinuate they’re a no-go.
