Here's the Lowdown on the rumours between Nic and his good friend Eason:

Ever since Eason joined EEG (Nic's label), rumours have been circling around that Nic and Eason are drifting apart.  However, this rumour is simply not true. 
At Eason's birthday party (held recently), Nic bought his good friend a bass guitar which he got overseas. This gift is supposed to show that Nic and Eason are really good friends still and that they are the type of friends with which you do not have to talk all the time with because they understand eachother so well.  Their friendship has also often been described as if they were a couple.
