Igwe and I started watching Love & Hip Hop a while ago, and I blogged about it HERE. We haven’t watched it consecutively since then because for some reason, we just don’t usually remember to watch it. I don’t know how many episodes we’ve missed since the blog post, and I know for sure that we have not seen most episodes because we only just started. I’m saying all these to disclaim that I may not have the best or most information about Mimi and Nikko, so if I am wrong, please correct me in the comments section.
So we were watching it this past Monday (and I don’t know if this was even the newest episode) and apparently Mimi’s and Nikko’s sex tape was coming out. Rewind. We saw the episode where Mimi was crying about her sex tape with Nikko being leaked. The story they gave us was that they made a home sex tape and when Nikko traveled, the tape got stolen from his bag and somehow, the porn industry has a hold on it and said they’ll release it with or without their permission. So they figured they might as well cash in on it.
While the show was on this Monday, there was a scene where the porn people asked them if there was a third person recording them because the camera moved during the taping, and if this was just a home-made movie with only two of them, then who moved the camera? Nikko said the camera moved because he shook (or broke) the ground. Sure. *one brow up* And that was how I decided to Google the sex tape.
I came across a clip of it (about 5 minutes long). Truly, truly, the camera literally changes from horizontal to sideways to vertical. What kind of ogbanje camera is this? Now, this makes me wonder why they both lied to everyone, myself included. Yes, I’m taking this personal. I know, I know: this is reality TV. But it’s just that while Mimi was crying about being a mom and having this tape out on TV blah blah blah, I actually felt genuinely sorry for her. I thought (still think) it’s stupid to make a sex tape (especially when it’s not with your husband/wife) because you might break up tomorrow and have a disgruntled ex, but I still felt bad for her. Silly me.
If you watch the tape, you’ll see that these two suckers actually had someone else recording (or maybe even an entire crew), and I am now convinced that not only did the tape not get stolen, but Mimi was also a part of this whole ponzi scheme. I cannot and will not embed the video on this blog because … well … just because. If Mimi and Nikko wanted to sell a sex tape, then why didn’t they just do that? They’re already on a ratchet TV show, so why would anyone really raise a brow to Mimi and Nikko making a sex tape?
I am not recommending that you watch the tape, but if you do decide to watch it, please make sure that neither your boss nor your child nor the Holy Spirit is behind you. And as you watch it, please keep in mind that Jesus is watching you in 3D IMAX. If you still insist, watch it .
Pendo says
Naughty Vera and Igwe hahaha. It is stupid to make a sex tape with anyone period! Even husbands and wives get divorced or argue and become spiteful and do stupid things like “leak: sex tapes to hurt the other partner. If you don’t want your business out there do not take nudes do not make a sex tape nothing it’s that simple. AS for Mimi and Niko na them sabi. I really don’t watch LHH too ratchet for me unless something really big happens and it’s all over socialmedia like the sex tape story was then maybe I will go back to an episode just to figure out the story.
Vera Ezimora says
Pendo, I completely agree: no sex tapes whatsoever. I was just trying to make it sound better. Sometimes I get bored and take pictures of my breasts (don’t judge me) but I delete them IMMEDIATELY. I’m too paranoid to even leave them on my phone. Like what if the phone gets lost? I don’t think I’ll be watching the show anymore. Not because of the sex tape thing, but because I’ve lost interest. There are just too many dumb people in the show.
uju says
I saw the tape on tue as i was driving back from work.
Pretty boring but there was def someone taping it, mimi is a broken woman i actually feel for her. Btw vera did u know she was naija
Her name is oluwaremi fela
Pendo says
No she is not that name was given to her by her mother who joined a Nigerian spiritual thingy and adopted a Nigerian name and gave her kids Nigerian names as well. She is proper African American as in no direct family ancestry to Nigeria. She was born to Gloria Eva Simmons who changed her name to Olaiya Odufunke sometimes Olayinka after joining the Nigerian spiritual church. I read it a while back let me dig up a link…

Pendo: I actually read the whole thing. I don’t know the Scientology doctrine, so I don’t want to judge it, but I don’t think I have heard one single thing that would make me want to become a Scientologist. Why would a church even be called Scientology, considering that science (or anything that sounds/looks like it) is in conflict with the Christian faith? But then I guess “Church” doesn’t necessarily mean CHURCH.
Adabeke says
Interesting read. Thanks. I have always wondered what kind of name is Mimi and what it meant. Then again I wonder about names like Porsha and others..lol
Vera Ezimora says
Uju: You watched the tape while you were driving from work? Uju, na so the thing hungry you reach? Why didn’t you just park and watch it? Lol. Per her being Nigerian, I would have screamed and should, but Pendo has already commented and ruined it for me.
Adabeke says
I was really pitying Mimi until I watched this video Vera kindly provided…lol. As everyone was initially suspecting Nikko, it now appears, after watching, that Mimi did have a part in it. I mean that shaking…..definitely at least three people in the room….and please Nikko it was adjustment to the recording so save your explanation to a moo moo. Such a beautiful, good looking, 45 year-old that just damaged her image.
LOL @ Vera’s comment to Uju.
Vera Ezimora says
Adabeke, I’m glad I’m not alone. I don’t know what’s wrong with this Mimi woman. 45 years old and still foolish.
