VIDEO: Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Season 3, Episode 16

1. If the question is never asked, it won’t be answered.

Mimi Faust has egg on her face yet again after Nikko comes clean about being married.

It seems that Nikko never told Mimi about his relationship status because she never asked.

Now Mimi has to face the fact that she’s now featured in a sex tape with some other woman’s husband.

Sux to be her…

2. When in doubt, buy it out…

Karlie Redd and her play play relationship with Young Joc is finally over for good.

It seems Karlie has finally had enough of Joc’s ‘cheatin ways’ and despite the fact that he’s still very married, Karlie has decided that his disrespect has totally crossed all boundaries.

So what does Karlie do about it? She purchases the song directly from the producer and opts to kick Joc off of the track.

In addition to her musical diss, Karlie replaces her ex-boo with Grand Hustle’s Young Dro.

Karlie invites Joc to the video shoot for her new single, where she advises him of her decision, but it seems that Joc feels he is still owed ‘a percentage’ of Karlie’s earnings from the song.

Only time will tell…

3. Happy wife… happy life.

Waka Flocka Flame and his new wife, Tammy Rivera want to have a child and apparently they’ve been trying for a while with no luck.

Tammy decides to take a trip to a fertility doctor, who suggests to her that they need to check Waka’s sperm count.

Rivera admits it will be a challenge to get Waka to submit to an exam, but she’s confident he will do what it takes to make her happy.

4. Snoop Dogg knows best…

Stevie J. ditches his travel plans with his bestie Benzino, and in order to appease his ‘wife’ Joseline Hernandez, he ends up taking her instead.

The two make a guest appearance on Snoop Dogg’s podcast and Joseline seems on cloud 9 after finally having the chance to meet the legendary rapper.

The purpose of Stevie’s trip was to lay some tracks with Snoop Dogg and during their studio session, the DoggFather offers a few words of wisdom to Stevie about the whole Benzino/Althea situation.

Stevie admits to Snoop that he ‘knows’… really ‘knows’ Althea and reveals that they even smashed at Benzino’s house!

Snoop advises Stevie that it’s best to come clean about the situation. First to his ‘wife’ and then his best friend, especially since he’s planning on being the best man at the wedding.

Stevie seems to agree with Snoop’s advice but can’t seem to find the right time to drop the news on Joseline…. but stay tuned, I’m sure it’s coming.

5. Sex tapes don’t die, they multiply…

Mimi Faust just can’t seem to win when it comes to her decision to f*ck on film.

Not only has she found out that her ‘boyfriend’ is some other woman’s husband, but she also has to come to the realization that he used her to come up.

Mimi decides to meet with Johnny, Nikko’s ex best friend and co-star of his first music video ‘NY to LA’ which Mimi appeared in (click HERE if you missed that).

Johnny reveals to Mimi that Nikko ‘left him for dead’ after he got with Mimi because she was his ticket to the good life.

When Mimi asks about Nikko’s marriage, Johnny reveals that Nikko & his wife are very much together and that they both are probably in on the sex tape ‘leak’.

Mimi’s been played… and we all can say collectively… ‘we told you so!’

Shockingly Johnny also tells Mimi that Nikko confided in him that he was going to get a bit of ‘involuntary’ sex footage of Mimi and while Johnny doesn’t know for sure if Nikko actually taped her without her consent, he advises Mimi that there could possibly be more footage of her sexcapades out in the atmosphere.
