The response Keyshia Cole got from her mother after saying she feared losing her to drugs is one no one wants to hear.

The singer tweeted fans Saturday, June 3, about a chat she had with her mother, Frankie Lons, who has been battling drug addiction since Cole was a child.

Lons appeared on VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab” beginning in 2010 and was arrested on drug possession charges the following year. Cole opened up about trying to help her mother beat her addiction in 2016, writing on Instagram that she “even went broke once putting all my money and house up to pay for mom’s rehab. Nothing has worked on my end.”

Cole said her aunt was successful in getting Lons some help and, at the time, Lons was showing improvement.

The singer’s recent revelation struck a chord with fans as many shared their experiences with their mothers and gave their support.

In responding to fans, Cole gave more info on how her mom’s words cut her.

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.
