Reality TV Career
Nikko joined the cast of "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" after he started dating cast member Mimi Faust midway through Season 2 in 2014. The relationship provided much drama for the series, as Nikko was often quite vocal about his dislike for Mimi Faust's ex-boyfriend, successful producer Stevie J. Nikko called Stevie J out during multiple interviews and questioned his ethics and business acumen. Mimi Faust ultimately broke off her relationship with Nikko during the last episode of the season after she found out that he attempted to hit on one of her fellow cast members. "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" debuted in 2012, and its 11th season premiered in 2023.
In April 2014, Nikko made headlines when it was revealed that a sex tape of him with Mimi Faust was released to the public. The pair claimed that their luggage had been stolen with the sex tape inside and was made public by an anonymous source. However, the two stars later revealed that it was staged after all. The sex tape, "Scandal in Atlanta," ended up being a major plot line in future seasons of "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta." Released by Vivid Entertainment, it became one of the most popular sex tapes ever released by that company and was nominated for a 2015 AVN Award for Best Celebrity Sex Tape.
Personal Life
Nikko was married to Margeaux Simms from 2007 to 2015, and they appeared together on the sixth season of "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars," which aired in 2016.
