Some of you emailed asking me to post a picture of my 2008 Jump Off of the Year, Nikki Nicole. Well, here she is celebrating her birthday with friends recently. Isn’t she pretty?

Nikki and Tameka “Tiny” Cottle have been BFFs for many years going back to the heady Xscape days.

This was before T.I. in case you were wondering.

Tameka doesn’t go anywhere these days without Nikki, who is an aspiring rapper. Sources tell me the two friends are tighter than bonding glue on hair weave.
