It was Nick's ego imo. The coke made his fall quicker and far more dramatic, but he'd grown hugely resentful to his kids, Kayla, and his parents before he started using. Getting the money from Depp and Rittenhouse freed him fromEven with everything a man could want out of life (money, career, influence, family, community) it still wasn't enough. Nick will live forever as a solemn reminder that you are not the exception, drug addiction will take everything you have if you let it. Suffah Rackets.
His retconning of the persona he projected is just him revealing that the Nick we see today is who he always was, with a coke addiction, and that he was good enough at putting on a show to make people buy in. I did. Granted I tapped out in like 2019 or 2020, but there were always threads to pull on.
