Sisterly Love: Michelle Williams Praises Keyshia Cole, Hopes to Chat in Person

Posted byBy Tracy | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Former Destiny’s Child star Michelle Williams isn’t holding any grudges. Williams experienced  the virtual wrath of R&B singer Keyshia Cole after her surprise appearance during Beyonce’s Superbowl performance earlier this year.

Cole tweeted after the performance:

“F*ck that shit up then Beyonce! Bad bitch central #AllGirlEverything

“I think I was frightened to blink for a sec. Then Michell sung and woke my ass up from my daze! She always fuckN the groove up”

In an attempt to clear up the diss, Cole made it worse when she explained to a gossip blogger on Twitter:

“The b*tch Michelle said some foul sh*t while I was performing once. But no one recalls that. I say what I want. No likey. Run up”

Williams who’s promoting her upcoming gospel album  “Journey to Love” stopped by Philly’s Hot 107.9 FM’s Morning Show with Shamara and Laiya earlier today and responded to whether she’s harnessing any hatred towards Cole. Williams responded with nothing but love.

Check it out below:

“I don’t even do Twitter beef. I can’t wait to see [Keyshia Cole] in person so we can talk and say ‘Hey, what happened?’ I will say this, I was a major fan of hers. That’s my first time even saying that. I understood her story and was rooting for her. My little sister was born with crack cocaine in her system, so when I see someone like Keyshia Cole, who is defying the odds, doing her thing and taking care of her family… She was somebody I was rooting for, because I could understand where she was coming. It’s all good, people make mistakes, I don’t hold that against nobody, I wish everybody the best. I want everybody to win!”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
