What is the meaning behind Nathaniel B?

Prince recently uploaded a video to his TikTok account, explaining the meaning behind the phrase. It turns out that his rival in the rap battle has a brother named Nathaniel, while the B is an abbreviation for 'brother.' So the phrase basically translates to 'Nathaniel's brother.'

The rapper also explained that when the viral video was shot, he was in his sophomore year and that his sports team had an off day. That's when some of his teammates decided to have a rap battle. Since Prince was already known as a rapper in school, he was ushered into the circle to go up against another popular student.

Though his opponent was a senior, Prince knew about his family and his siblings. So when it was his turn, he decided to mention the opponent's brother's name - Nathaniel. However, since the name didn't complete the rhyme, he added a B to it, which also meant 'brother.'

The explanation video has been viewed more than 630k times and has more than 113k likes.

In addition to explaining the meaning behind the phrase in the video, Prince also asked his followers to support him on his musical journey. The young TikToker has released music on all major streaming platforms and will be launching an EP this Friday, August 5.

He asked his fans to help him get the word out, telling them to spam #nathenialb in various comment sections to promote his upcoming music.

The rap artist has a fairly large audience on TikTok. His account @princemaj3 is followed by over 21k followers.

Readers can listen to his music on Apple Music and Spotify under the verified account 223 Jam, and SoundCloud users can find him under Prince Maj.
