Nikki Mudarris, born Nicole Bediah Mudarris on June 28, 1990, in Los Angeles, California, is a multifaceted American personality known for her presence in reality television, entrepreneurship, and socialite circles.
Raised in the Hollywood Hills amid a family deeply embedded in the entertainment and nightlife industries, she embodies a blend of Moroccan heritage from her mother, Marcelle Mudarris, and Italian-Lebanese roots from her father, Abu Mudarris.
A graduate of the University of Southern California with a degree in Business Communication, Nikki has leveraged her education and family legacy to build a career that spans media, fashion, and real estate.
Often referred to by her nickname “Miss Nikki Baby,” she first captured public attention through high-profile relationships and unfiltered storytelling on screen, evolving into a resilient figure who openly discusses her bisexuality, personal losses, and business triumphs.
Siblings
Nikki shares her upbringing with her older brother, Anthony Omar Mudarris, who was born in 1987 and tragically passed away on June 13, 2015, at the age of 28 due to a drug overdose.
Anthony’s death deeply affected Nikki, as she revealed in emotional episodes of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, where she processed her grief through candid conversations with her mother and reflections on how the loss influenced her romantic choices and emotional well-being.
In addition to Anthony, Nikki has a sister named Monique Mudarris, who has occasionally appeared alongside her in family discussions and on the reality show, offering support during tough times.

Career
Mudarris’ father, dubbed the “Godfather of Burlesque,” owns the Body Shop strip club chain, a pioneer on the Sunset Strip since the 1970s, and Nikki has long managed its Hollywood and Las Vegas locations, honing her business skills from a young age.
She entered the entertainment spotlight in 2014 as a supporting cast member on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, introduced as the girlfriend of music producer Mally Mall, where her feuds, romances, and authenticity quickly elevated her to main cast status in seasons three through five.
The show chronicled pivotal moments, from launching her lingerie brand to navigating bisexuality and high-profile flings with figures like Safaree Samuels, Rosa Acosta, and Lil’ Fizz.
In November 2015, amid the series’ second season, she debuted Nude by Nikki, a Los Angeles-based line offering inclusive sizes up to 2X with collections like Mesh, Signature, and Luxury, focusing on empowering lingerie and loungewear that celebrate body positivity.
Beyond television—where she also guested on shows like Hip Hop Squares and Scared Famous—Nikki transitioned into acting with roles in films such as Lap Dance (2014) and Exit Strategy, though reality TV remains her cornerstone.
More recently, she has pivoted to real estate, working as a realtor with the Watson Salari Group at Coldwell Banker in Los Angeles, applying her USC-honed expertise to property dealings.
