Charlotte Flair isn’t just clapping back at trolls—she’s also mourning someone who meant the world to her.

Amid the online storm following her fiery exchange with a fan over a now-viral meme mocking her personal life, Flair took a moment to step away from the drama and honor the passing of one of her most devoted fans, Nickie Booshie.

On April 15, Flair shared a deeply personal message on X/Twitter, confirming that Nickie had passed away and expressing how much he meant to her over the years. “Last week, someone very dear to me passed away,” she wrote. “Over the years, I’ve been blessed to build meaningful and cherished relationships with many of my fans—Nickie Booshie was one of them.”

In the emotional post, Flair reflected on what Nickie brought into her life, flipping the narrative of her being the hero. “Even though I’ve been seen as a real-life hero to some, it was Nickie who showed me what unwavering support, encouragement, and fearless love truly looked like. Nickie reminded me why I love what I do so deeply.”

The heartfelt message was paired with a quote tweet of Nickie’s April 1, 2022 tweet after meeting Charlotte in person at a WWE/Cricket Nation event. In the image, Nickie beams beside Flair in a small WWE ring display, unable to contain his excitement. “I JUST MET @MsCharlotteWWE NO I AM NOT OKAY! 😵 LOOK AT MY FACE 🤣” he tweeted, capturing the joy of that unforgettable WrestleMania week moment.

Flair ended her tribute with a final message: “Nickie, you’ll always hold a special place in my heart and in our wrestling community. You will be missed beyond words. Rest in peace, my friend. 👼 🕊️ 🤍”

The timing of her message comes days after she fired back at a meme that cruelly mocked her personal life. When a user posted a meme listing a cycle of “Get title shot → Get injured → Get a divorce → Get face surgery → Get title shot,” Charlotte shot back with “Cute. Now would you like me to tell you what I think of you and your face?” That exchange led to a viral response from the fan, who replied, “At least it’s my original face tho,” intensifying the online reactions.

Despite the chaos online, Flair’s tribute serves as a reminder that even in the spotlight, there are moments of genuine connection—and loss—that go far beyond the screen.
