Everyone now knows what “Nathaniel B.” meant when it went viral on TikTok. The name of the made-up person came from a TikTok video that went viral in 2020 and then came back last month on social media.
Netizens have always wondered what the name means and what it means to them. Prince finally answered their questions when he talked about the background of his popular rap lyrics.
Prince Maj, who made TikTok and is a budding rapper, made “Nathaniel B.”
In the popular video, there is a big group of young men who look like they are having a rap battle. A person wearing a bright orange T-shirt and a yellow bandana says,
“I’m too much for you. “Wait, you’re not Nathaniel B, are you?”
The young rapper in the video is the one who goes by the name “Prince Maj,” and his lyrics seem to have a big impact on the other people in the video.
The video was first posted by @oscar dozzz on July 31, 2020. It spread like wildfire, and now more than 2.7 million people have seen it. People are wondering what the name “Nathaniel B” means and how it was able to wow the crowd in the TikTok video.
Since then, it has been shared many times and turned into a trend that spreads quickly. People also put pictures of YouTuber Nathaniel Brady next to the video because their names are so similar.
The phrase is also used to say that someone is not cool or interesting. Over 247k people have looked at the hashtag for the phrase.
What does the name Nathaniel B mean?
Prince just put up a video on his TikTok account that explains what the phrase means. It turns out that his rap battle opponent has a brother named Nathaniel. The B stands for “brother,” which is an abbreviation. So, the phrase means “Nathaniel’s brother” in English.
The rapper also said that he was in his second year of high school when the viral video was made, and that his sports team had a day off. Some of his teammates decided to have a rap battle at that point. Since Prince was already known as a rapper in school, he was brought into the circle to compete against another popular student.
Even though his rival was a year older than him, Prince knew about his family and siblings. So when it was his turn, he chose to say Nathaniel, the name of the opponent’s brother. But the name didn’t make a full rhyme, so he added a B, which also meant “brother.”
The video giving an explanation has been watched more than 630k times, and more than 113k people have liked it.
In the video, Prince not only explained what the phrase meant but also asked his fans to help him on his musical journey. The young TikToker has put out music on all of the major streaming sites, and on Friday, August 5, he will release an EP.
