The name Nicole Aiello might not mean much to you, but you may recognize her nickname: Frankee. Still ringing no bells? In 2006, she was well known for her hit song Fu-k You Right Back, which was released in 2004, is an answer track to a song written by Eamon Doyle called F-ck it (I Don’t Want You Back).
From 2003, his track contains the classic line, “fu-k you, you ho, I don’t want you back!” It peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Frankee’s answer song peaked at #63 on the same chart. In a case of perfect timing, two weeks after its release, I used his track as means to break up with my girlfriend of just over a year at the time.
While she wasn’t a ho, we fought about whether or not we should marry each other because I got her pregnant with our daughter. We met in church, which made her pregnancy and our failure to adhere to the Law of Chastity even worse than it already was.
I felt that there was no need to screw up our lives even worse by marrying. I advocated for giving her up for adoption so that she could have a shot at a good family life as opposed to us raising her. That resulted in a massive fight. A few days later, she wanted to get back together, something that I felt she was doing to keep our girl from being married out of wedlock.
She was good girlfriend material but she wasn’t someone who I saw myself committing to. The whole situation cried out for a permanent breakup. His song was perfect for the occasion at the time. Looking back on it, I shouldn’t have used that song since, again, she was definitely not a ho.
But back to Frankee. She’s in the news after disappearing for many years following the humiliating chart position of her song in the United States. But then again, she did become a one-hit wonder in the United Kingdom, where she peaked at the very top of that country’s singles chart.
Doyle stated to MTV in an era where they actually played music videos that they never even knew each other, so the songs weren’t about them as the broken-up couple. He only heard about her when her people approached him about a mandated licensing agreement that would name him as a co-writer, a designation that would earn him royalties.
So now we come not to Frankee, but to Aiello. She is now one of New York City’s finest, stationed at Staten Island’s 121st Precinct, where she has been enforcing the law for nine years now. Why her career in donut-munching is just now emerging is beyond me, but here we are.
She has plenty of experience with the NYPD: she admitted to a music industry website that she had several minor run-ins with the agency as a result of fighting. She now guards the streets in the same area of the city where she was hauled off to a holding cell.
Her NYPD career is obviously successful because of how long she’s been on the beat. As news spreads through her precinct as the result of an exclusive article in the New York Post, however, one has to wonder if she’ll be treated differently especially since she did do a sexy photo shoot for smut magazine Maxim.
Well, I don’t think we need to guess her response whenever someone says, “fu-k you!” to her.
