Fans Poke Fun at Keyshia Cole for Ignoring This R&B Legend In Her Photo

Folks recently called out singer Keyshia Cole for acknowledging her attire while posing in a photo with R&B musician Neyo.

Cole and the “Mad” artist performed together at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden on December 1. The music veterans took over the Big Apple and apparently performed their most popular hits at the concert. The 37-year-old mother took to Instagram on Monday and shared a behind the scenes photo alongside the crooner.

However, Cole eagerly shouted out “Fashion Nova” for seemingly providing her with her stage attire. She wrote, ” Yesterday’s concert with my @fashionova top… loved this top by the way😩 ..”

Fans abruptly called out the “Love” musician for not acknowledging Neyo in her photo caption as opposed to discussing her shirt.

“So you not gonna acknowledge Neyo? Lol”

“So we just gonna ignore the fact her shirt was mentioned and you weren’t 😂.”

Other fans begged the two R&B artist for a joint album or song collaboration together.

“We need a song with these 2 dynamic duo.

“Keysh & Neyo I would love to hear record from these two.”

“Pls do an duet @keyshiacole both of ya’ll voices 🤩.”

Cole also performed on tour with R. Kelly for his “Double Up” tour. During one of her performances in Jackson, Mississippi, she experienced a lot of technical difficulties. She wrote on social media, “Last night there were a lot of things that took place, that could’ve prevented me from going on stage, then when I gets on the stage, FINALLY, the crowd couldn’t even hear me for the first song…🤦🏽‍♀️.”

Despite Cole’s onstage technical issues, folks said she still managed to give a rousing performance.

“You did a beautiful job 👏👏👏 I was there, “one fan wrote. “I know it was kinda rough at first but you did great and you have a beautiful God given voice it was worth the wait 🙌.”

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.
