Nicole Sanchez (born July 14, 1997),[2] better known as Neekolul, is an American online streamer, YouTuber and internet personality.
[7] On March 2, 2020, Sanchez went viral online after she posted a TikTok video lip syncing and dancing to the Senzawa song "Oki Doki Boomer" while wearing a Bernie 2020 shirt.
[10][14] Kotaku commented that "the video is mesmerizing in a way that makes you feel a small amount of secondhand embarrassment.
[4][8][14] She stated, however, "I don't think I'm a huge driver of votes or anything, but I think the content creators and Internet culture as a whole can bring awareness to things like this.
[19] She has since stated she said this as entertainment for her viewers; Kotaku wrote that "like many of her fans, she's constantly dancing on the impossibly blurry line between irony and sincerity.
[7] After signing with Night Media, Tubefilter reported that she began planning to branch out on YouTube and had a product line in development.
[7] In July 2020, she joined the roster of American lifestyle brand and esports organization 100 Thieves as a content creator.
[25] Nathan Grayson of Kotaku surmised on Sanchez's popularity, stating that "the cutesiness of Neekolul's recent videos and her relative proximity to so-called 'egirls' like Belle Delphine has given rise to accusations that the fans who find her attractive are people who want women to behave in ways that are child-like, naive, or foolish.
"[15] Gita Jackson of Vice similarly wrote on Neekolul's appeal, stating that "like so many objects of male attention before her, her mere presence as a human being will either cause you to simp or to shun.
In a statement released in March 2021, Sanchez said that she had been a victim of domestic abuse, including physical beatings, by her former partner for seven years.
According to her statement, her arrest stemmed from an incident in which she struck her former partner after confronting him about his behavior at his house near the end of their relationship.
