American rapper and social media celebrity Nicholas Minucci, also known as Fat Nick, is most known for co-hosting the “Nick and Pouya Show” on YouTube with his friend Kevin Pouya. Known for posting graphic comedy videos and freestyles, the plump celebrity has finally gained recognition after overcoming several obstacles. Having experienced a difficult upbringing, he turned to drug sales as a teenager. He also became interested in music as a young person, and he made the decision to turn his life around by becoming a rapper. After he and Pouya linked up, the boys began rapping together. They also started touring and soon enough were putting out albums of their own songs. Along with Pouya, Fat Nick is well-known for being a member of the duo “Buffet Boys.” Buffet Boys got notoriety for their humorous raps and proceeded to produce other collaborations on SoundCloud. Nick gained a lot of notoriety after releasing his first studio album, “Fat Camp,” in 2015. He put out a few more successful records in the years that followed. He has a sizable fan base on a number of social media sites, such as Facebook, SoundCloud, and Twitter.
Career of Fat Nick
Nick Minucci signed with Little Stars, a local talent agency, when he was eight years old. Years later, he was cast in a minor role in the HBO series “The Sopranos” premiere. Following this, he chose to join the rap scene with his schoolmate Kevin Pouya rather than pursue acting roles. Later, the two produced funny content for their “Nick and Pouya Show” and freestyle rap videos. It was around this time that Minucci started writing music on his own, stepping outside of his comfort zone. Along with this, he began to tour the nation, gradually gaining recognition for his songs.
