Keyshia Cole‘s sister, Neffeteria “Neffe” Pugh, shared an old video of her and her sister that reminded fans of how much they missed seeing the pair’s relationship on camera.

Cole has a complicated relationship with her family due to their public disputes over the years. It’s unknown if Cole and Pugh are on good terms, but Pugh continues to support her sister despite their past differences. She took to Instagram on Thursday, Oct. 3, and posted a throwback video of their infamous reality TV show “Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is” from 2006.

The clip showed Pugh and her sister’s then-tightknit bond. In her confessional on the show, Pugh praised her sister at the time, saying, “When I’m around my sister, I always feel like a star. She makes me feel that way because she don’t leave me out. It’s a beautiful thing.”

Pugh’s throwback post reminded fans of how much they missed the show and Cole’s dynamic with her family.

“This show will never get old to me, and yall definitely came a very long way. ❤️❤️ I love your entire family.”

“This was such an awesome moment between u 2 the love is so beautiful❤️ TRUE SISTERHOOD IS PRICELESS ♥️👑💯”

“Miss Frankie was made for tv I miss all of y’all 😘. Yes we love y’all for life!”

In July, Cole announced that she will be returning back to reality television along with her boyfriend and aspiring rapper Niko Hale. The “Love” singer will be giving her fans and viewers a glimpse of her second-time motherhood journey to their newborn son. She wrote via Instagram on July 22, “Had an awesome FIRST WEEK OF FILMING. KEYSHIA COLE IS COMING BACK TO BET!!!!! But this time she’s bringing Something SPECIAL! A BABY SPECIAL.”

The premiere date of the show has yet to be revealed. It will, however, feature her adoptive mother Yvonne Cole and her biological mother Francine “Frankie” Lons. It’s unclear if Pugh will appear on the show.

March of 2018, Pugh issued a publicly apology to Cole for all of the “hurt” she apparently caused her. Cole responded, ” Neffe I did receive your PUBLIC apology, and I understand why you went PUBLIC with it. … I want you to kno, that I do love u back! ALWAYS WILL. And naw we haven’t been close, and that’s been going on for some time now, but I’ve BEEN forgiven you. I’ve forgiven mom and everyone I’ve felt, has failed me in my personal relationships❤🙏🏽”

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.
