Fans of Keyshia Cole did a double take Wednesday, April 4 when she posted a side of a photo of her from years ago with a snap during a recent event in Florida.

While the meme contained the motivational message to push through despite feelings of defeat, several fans zeroed in on one thing — Cole’s lighter skin tone — and they let the singer know what they’d been speculating.

“We need that old you back sis,” someone commented. “Hold the bleach.”

“She bleached and she having a baby,” another guessed.

“Wow.. as much as I like Keyshia Cole, her post here clearly shows us how she has bleached her natural darkness away … to now look half cast,” someone else said. “But 98 percent of the industry does it, not just her.”

“The bleach is real,” a user simply wrote.

Still, some weren’t convinced skin bleaching was a factor.

“I think it may be her makeup shade,” someone wrote. “I don’t think she bleached her skin.”

“I do not believe she’s bleached her skin at all,” someone else said. “Appears she just had a tan in the first pic and little to no makeup vs. the second pic.”

“I’m shocked that Black people always talking about somebody bleaching, like when I was in elementary through high school I was very dark because I was always in the sun,” someone else offered. “Now I’m older I don’t stay in the sun, so I am lighter now and people always ask me, ‘How did I get so light? Did I bleach?'”

And Cole wasn’t here for the bleach talk herself, she wrote in response to someone denying the singer bleaches, “and yet they still missed the overall message.

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

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.
