Nicole Francine Spinelli, known by her stage name Frankee, is a former American model and R&B singer mainly known for her 2004 single "F.U.R.B. (F U Right Back)". In 2016, Spinelli joined the New York City Police Department. Spinelli has two daughters with her husband John Spinelli, who died in May 2025.
Career
"F.U.R.B. (Fuck You Right Back)" topped the charts in the United Kingdom in May 2004, and Australia in June 2004. While Eamon initially said that he selected Frankee to record the song at an audition, he later stated that his only involvement was in clearing the use of the music with the following statement:
After leaving Marro Records in 2006, she signed with Big Management immediately afterwards to record a new album. A single, "Watch Me", was released as a digital download in 2006. This song failed to chart, and Frankee was dropped from Big Entertainment.
Later, she worked as a model.
In May 2025, the New York Post reported that Spinelli was a police officer in Staten Island raising two daughters.
