From top of the pops to cop! One-hit wonder Nicole F. Aiello, 42, whose stage name was Frankee, is now a police officer on Staten Island.

In 2004, her potty-mouthed song, “F**k You Right Back,” topped the U.K. charts and rose to No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S.

The tune was a response to a 2003 top 20 single, “F**k It (I Don’t Want You Back),” by American R&B singer Eamon Doyle. In the song, he lashed out at an ex: “I can’t sweat that ’cause I loved a ho.”

In “F**k You Right Back,” Frankee assumed the persona of the girlfriend, singing, “Now you want me to come back. You must be smokin’ crack … F**k all those nights you thought you broke my back. Well guess what yo, your sex was wack.”

Fans loved her girl-power anthem, but despite the song’s success, Frankee never went to Hollywood.

Her second single fizzled and her record company dropped her. The Staten Island native had a brief stint as a model, including a risqué photo spread in Maxim magazine.

After a decade out of the public eye, Aiello opted to bust perps on the streets instead of bust moves on stage and joined the New York City Police Department in 2016.

Aiello’s name recently resurfaced because of the tragic May 12 death of her husband, John Spinelli, 46, by suicide. The couple shared two daughters, ages 4 and 10.
