LHHA’s Nikko Reveals Why He Didn’t Tell Mimi Faust About Secret Wife, Margo Simms

knows them. Thats his ryde or die. She’s a good woman….Nikko and Margo are not really together anymore. But they’re still married and will always be great friends.

Nikko has opened up about his secret marriage, admitting that he should have told Mimi sooner. In an interview with VIBE he also reveals Margo was aware of the show and is in another relationship, although legally they are still married.

I’ve been with this woman ten years. We got married in 2007. Our relationship was really strong. We decided to get married. In the process, our relationship fell apart, but it was a bad breakup. It was a messy breakup. We remained cool with each other. She was seeing someone else, and I was a free man. But we were separated.

He continues:

When I decided to do the show, me and [my wife] wasn’t really rocking with that. But I knew I had this responsibility. When I decided to do the show, she came to me and said ‘I know you about to do the show, do your thing.’ She was actually with somebody in New York, that she’s still with right now.

Nikko explains that because of the Stevie J (the father of Mimi’s daughter) drama, he was apprehensive of sharing the marriage with Mimi:

I made a decision not to tell her, because there was so much going on with this Stevie shit. I’m looking at it different from the way someone else may be looking at it. I was taking this to my grave. This was some secretive shit I was doing. I didn’t tell Mimi. I didn’t feel as that she needed to know. Going into this third season, I think I might have stretched it out a little too long. I could have sat down and told her, but I didn’t it. I didn’t do it.
