The twins reportedly used to live with Nikki's grandmother and their great-grandmother Della Frazier. However, in 2007, she requested their custody and it was granted to her.
But the troubles soon began as the three of them struggled to have a healthy relationship. There were several physical and verbal fights and arguments between Jarmecca Yvonne "Nikki" Whitehead and her twin daughters.
