‘Aww’ Fans Gush Over Keyshia Cole’s Adorable Throwback Video with Son Daniel Gibson Jr.

Singer Keyshia Cole took a stroll down memory lane for “Throwback Thursday” after sharing a sweet post of she and her eight-year-old son from a few years ago.

Cole’s only child Daniel Gibson Jr., is the apple of her eye. She welcomed DJ in 2010 with her ex-husband Bobbie Gibson before they tied the know in May 2011. Cole and her ex-husband finalized their divorce during season 4 of  “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood“, but remain co-parents to their son.

The “I Remember” singer took to Instagram yesterday afternoon and reflected back on an old recording of her now eight-year-old of when he was smaller. In the video, DJ pointed to drawing of his mommy with a black heart plastered on her arm and asked what she was doing with her heart to which Cole responded, “You’re not old enough.”

The singer’s moment with her son turned into a sweet post.

“#ThrowBackThursday My little @daniel_gibsonjr 😍 God blessed me with this beautiful soul, it’s a blessing to say.” She continued, “I’ve never seen him angry. That I MUST SAY, Is one of my most GREATEST accomplishments, he gets irritated Fa sho, like any body would, but I can say, I’ve never seen him angry!!!! Big difference.”

Fans fawned over the adorable video of DJ and bombarded Cole’s comments with heartfelt messages.

“Aww! The way he said “heart” 😭❤! They grow up so fast!”

“My favorite video of you 2❤ & Has been for years!”

“Aww he really want to know 😂 Keyshia you are the best mom in the world.”

“Soooo cute munch 😍😍 “you not old enough” 😂.”

“Blessed. Loving this video. Moms of sons theres just nothin like that bond. jus melted my heart.”

Cole’s son turned eight years old in March and of course, the mother of one sent him the sweetest message on his special day.

“Happy Birthday to my angel on [earth] OMG!” she wrote. “I love you with ALL MY HEART.”

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.
