Keyshia Cole fans are fully convinced that her and Niko “Khale” Hale‘s six-month-old son Tobias Khale looks just like her.

On Thursday morning, a new post was uploaded to baby Tobias’ official Instagram page that compared his looks to his mother and father. The post read, “50% mommy + 50% daddy = 100% perfect”

The post was captioned, ” Mommy and daddy. 🥰 #Love &Happiness,” along with a photo of baby Tobias wearing a bib.

Fans under the infant’s page slammed down the post and claimed the six-month-old infant looked more like Cole than Khale.

“50% Mommy + another 50% of Mommy = @keyshiacole 😂. He’s his mothers child 🤷‍♀️🥰. Definitely a beautiful lil prince ❤️”

“Oh my gracious!!! 😍 Too freakin cute! but thats like 90 percent his mama right there 😂”

“He’s so perfect 😍 definitely your Mini ❤️ he is the cutest baby ever! I see 💯 percent mommy”

“Now him looks like his momma he dont look nothing alike his dad. You lookin like 70% mommy 🤣”

Baby Tobias is the “You Complete Me” singer and Khale’s, 24, first child together. Cole also has 10-year-old son Daniel Gibson Jr. from her previous relationship.

Cole, 38, even claimed her younger son as her carbon copy. She wrote via Instagram on Feb. 2, “Happy 6Months @tobiaskhale #AKA #TWIN time is going by so fast 😩 he’s already sayin MaMaaaaa 😩😂 y’all BELIVE me or NAWWW?”

After giving birth to the child last August, Cole and Khale kept their son’s identity concealed for several months. On Nov. 19, the mother of two wrote, “I absolutely 🥰 couldn’t wait to post these pictures. @tobiaskhale is the sweetest baby, OMG. He’s such a little blessing, and I’m completely in love with him! The smiles he gives EVERY SINGLE Time you smile at him, Brightens the worst of days.”

Fans have congratulated Cole and Khale on the birth of their son.

“You had other baby how many two now. I didn’t no congratulations he’s to pretty amen 🙏,” a fan wrote two weeks ago on a recent post of the singer’s.

Another added, ” What a handsome 💓 lil babyboy 😇 Congrats on your precious ❤️ babyboy”

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.
