Mimi Faust sext tape with Nikko Smith is getting a lot of attention after VH1 show producers leaked the official trailer for the scandalous hardcore sex tape "Mimi & Nikko: Scandal in Atlanta" April 14th.

Although show producers and Mimi's castmates were initially stunned upon hearing the news, later on they approved of the material since it could not only help boost the ratings of 'Love & Hip Hop' but it could also significantly increase the popularity of Mimi Faust.

Steve Hirsch has been nothing but supportive of the Mimi & Nikko sex tape. He even told TMZ that upon finding out about the explicit tape, he contacted Faust and Smith and told them to sign off on it going public.

Hirsch also revealed that 'Love & Hip Hop' producers also gave their blessings to Mimi Faust's tape since it is expected to spice up the reality show as well as give a big boost to the ratings of the upcoming season.

"We were approached by a third party to release the tape. I wasn't familiar with Mimi and Nikko [Smith] or Love and Hip Hop Atlanta," Hirsch exclusively told HollywoodLife. "After doing some research, I realized just how big both the show and the tape could be. It was a struggle to ultimately get the deal done but we did. And this tape will be huge. Massive!"

Meanwhile, it may sound crazy but Steven Hirsch also claims that Mimi Faust's tape could be the next big thing, even bigger than Farrah Abraham's 'Backdoor Teen Mom.'

"Early indications are that this will be a huge blockbuster. Sky's the limit," he added.

Interestingly, other 'Love & Hip Hop' stars are overtly jealous of the publicity Mimi Faust is getting lately.

An insider close to K. Michelle of 'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta' says, "Real talk, they're jealous of the fame she's getting off it but they don't have the balls to do one themselves. This came out of left field. Like, Mimi dropped a bomb and it exploded big time."

Meanwhile, on another related news, former American Idol finalist Nikko Smith is also sharing the same limelight Nikki Faust's tape is receiving. For one thing, many are mistaking him as Mimi's co-star in the hardcore sex tape.

Nikko Smith competed on season 4 of the famous talent show, and he has recently opened up about how upset he is over the confusion people make.

According to The Hollywood Gossip, Nikko Smith has been getting a lot of calls from his family and friends, who simply heard about the Mimi Faust-Nikko Smith sex tape.

The former AI finalist strongly denounces being part of the scandalous tape, adding that he has never met Mimi Faust in his life.

Nevertheless, the singing Nikko Smith was thankful for not being linked to something even more demeaning. "There could be worse things linked to my name. At least the guy didn't murder someone," he told TMZ.
