On Wednesday, Hollywood Life reported the scoop on the Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta star from Vivid Entertainment who revealed how they were approached.

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

As for who said 'third party' is, it was apparently someone who stole the tape from the couple, which led to Hirsch reaching out to Mimi. It turned out that she was reportedly okay with having it be released.

"It would be against privacy laws [to release it without consent] so Steve had to talk to Mimi and Nikko," Vivid's press manager said. "We let them know that this tape was stolen from them along with the camera. He asked them if they wanted to cooperate and have us distribute or take a chance at that guy? They agreed to distribute!"

The site also mentioned that the entire video will indeed be released online, and the couple is supposedly not regretting their choice to make their steamy moments public.
