In late 2005, Nickenson Prud’Homme would go on to release his first self-titled debut album. The album would grow to be very successful in the Caribbean music chart with two top-ten hits—Deception and Zamni. Those two singles alone earned Nickenson the highest requested songs in RNJ Antilles radio station in Martinique, Guadeloupe, and French Guiana.
In the summer of 2006 and early 2007, Nickenson Prud’Homme would announce that he was no longer a part of Zenglen due to creative and business issues regarding the manager and some members of the group. The breakup meant that Nickenson was finally going to concentrate more on his solo projects and collaborating with zouk artists such as Warren, Princess Lover, Leila Chicot, Milca, and Ali Angel.
In early 2007 when he announced that he was going solo, the public simply did not buy it. Although everyone recognized his talent, there was a consensus in the mind of music lovers that Nickenson Prud’Homme could not survive without Zenglen. A year later, he proved them all wrong. Today, Nickenson Prud’Homme is one the hottest Konpa/Zouk singers and producers around.
In early 2008, Prud’Homme did an interview with Haitian magazine website www.konpamagazine.com in which he stated that he would be working on a new group that he founded in Miami and is not revealing the name until next summer. Rumor has it that he will be premiering the new group at the 2008 Haitian Konpa Festival in Bayfront Park in North Miami Beach and will be performing with the new group along side his former band, Zenglen.
Nickenson Prud’Homme is an artist with an undisputed talent of mixing konpa and zouk beats together. He has a beautiful singing voice and a dynamic keyboardist. Nickenson has proven to fans and music critics that he is a true force not be reckoned with in the Haitian Music Industry.

le nou te fek renmen
mwen pa te ko damou
mwen te yon ti malen
kap bay kou toupatou
ou te kon ap plenyen
m'trouve'w two jalou
m'ape kriye chak jou
oh oh
jodi a se nomal
si'w soti ou pa rantre
le m'di'w jan sa fem mal
ou di'm wa'p fe'm peye.
mwen fe'w bagay fatal
men'm m'pa janm fe espre
fo'w pa rann mal pou mal
lanmou se pasa l'ye.
te gen konpetans
pat gen esperyans
cheri m'regrete
m'te yon bebe
kounya grandi
cheri m'ap mande'w padon
doudou'w gen reson

Nan lanmou pa gen rancune

Now listen to me buggy,
Love blind love is kind love is bly another time
but love is mine baby let it try whatever happens
Love remind
love is given love is forgiving
Love is trusting and understanding
I love you boo and you know it's true.
severite
The lyrics to Nickenson Prud’homme’s “Se Verite” express the message of a man who is apologetic for his past behavior in a relationship. He talks about how he didn’t initially love his partner and acted out of jealousy, but now he is begging for forgiveness and admitting to his mistakes. He acknowledges the importance of communication and trust in a relationship and is willing to work on proving his love and commitment. The chorus of the song, “Se verite,” which translates to “it’s the truth,” is repeated throughout the song as a reminder of the honesty and transparency that are necessary for a healthy relationship.
The song’s lyrics reflect a common theme in Haitian music, which often deals with heartbreak, lost love, and regret. However, the song also portrays a sense of hope and determination to make things right in the relationship. The use of Creole and French languages in the lyrics adds to the authenticity and cultural significance of the song.
Overall, “Se Verite” is a powerful and emotionally charged song that touches on universal themes of love, forgiveness, and redemption.

le nou te fek renmen
When we just fell in love
mwen pa te ko damou
I wasn't really in love
mwen te yon ti malen
I was just a little crazy
kap bay kou toupatou
Giving attention everywhere
ou te kon ap plenyen
You used to complain
m'trouve'w two jalou
I found you too jealous
kounye a mwen nan men ou
Now I'm in your hands
m'ape kriye chak jou
I cry every day
jodi a se nomal
Today it's normal
si'w soti ou pa rantre
If you go out, you must come back
le m'di'w jan sa fem mal
When I tell you what hurts me
ou di'm wa'p fe'm peye.
You tell me I'll pay for it
