Photos from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta‘s Mimi Faust‘s sex tape with boyfriend Nikko Smith, Mimi & Nikko: Scandal in Atlanta, have been released, in preparation for the tape’s release in late April.

Mimi Faust And Nikko Smith Sex Tape

Faust and Smith reportedly did not leak their sex tape, but gave their consent for its release when contacted by Vivid Entertainment founder Steve Hirsch.

“From the minute we heard about this tape, we wanted it. The authenticity of Mimi and Nikko’s relationship is obvious. There’s no mistaking their passion; it’s real,” Hirsch said in a statement.

In the preview for Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s third season, Faust and Smith are seen meeting with Hirsch, discussing the tape. Based on the brief clips, it appears that the tape was leaked without their consent or knowledge.
