Prefab cant istiantiate through recources.load?

So I am trying to spawn a text thats a prefab like so, and for whatever reason it gives me ‘The object you want to insitantiate is null’ however I have triple checked that they are all named the exact same, and the prefab is named the exact same… Any ideas?

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class FloatingTextController : MonoBehaviour {

private static FloatingText popupText;

private static GameObject canvas;

public static void Initialize()
{
    canvas = GameObject.Find("Canvas");
    popupText = Resources.Load<FloatingText>("Prefabs/PopupTextParent");
    
}

public static void CreateFloatingText(string text, Transform location)
{
    FloatingText instance = Instantiate(popupText);
    instance.transform.SetParent(canvas.transform, false);
    instance.SetText(text);
}

}
