Kayla Nicole apologized after her 'hurtful' old tweets resurfaced on X.

Why Did Her Old Tweets Resurface?
The drama around Nicole began after she appeared to diss Kelce and Taylor Swift with her 2025 Halloween costume.
Nicole's offensive remarks popped up this month, not long after social media users accused her of shading the NFL star and his new fiancée, Taylor Swift, with her Halloween costume, as she dressed as Toni Braxton from her "He Wasn't Man Enough for Me" music video.
After the allegations, she insisted she never tries to "tear" other women down, but the diss appeared to prompt fans to dig up her past tweets, which included a racist remark about Kobe Bryant's spouse, Vanessa Bryant.
"Sum1 explain to me why kobe thirsty wife think she can b [sic] in front of all the players!? Sit yo no green card havin azz down. #thaafuuuuhh," the podcast host tweeted years ago.
The Podcast Host's Shocking Posts
The football player and the model dated on and off from 2017 to 2022.

"I confess a taken man is more attractive than a single one… iiddkkkk sumthin bout the competition smh," the star penned in another message.
