‘He Can Blow!’: Keyshia Cole and Niko Hale’s ‘Golden Girls’ Video Leaves Fans in Stitches

It looks like Keyshia Cole and Niko Hale refuse to miss out on the TikTok craze.

The couple and their family showed off their lip-syncing skills this week and left fans in stitches. Cole took to Instagram on Saturday, April 4, and posted a video that showed the family lipping the words from the “The Golden Girls” theme song.

Cole, her 10-year-old son Daniel Gibson Jr. and Hale, who was holding their infant son Tobias Khale, began lip-syncing Andrew Gold’s lyrics from the 1980s sitcom, “Thank you for being my friend, traveled down a road and back again. Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant. …”

The “Heaven Sent” singer wrote in her caption, “Thank you for being a friend. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ featuring @daniel_gibsonjr @tobiaskhale and @nikokhale ๐Ÿ˜‚ Follow me on #TikTok KeyshiaCole111.”

Over 948,000 IG followers viewed Cole’s post. Several fans, however, were shocked by the male vocals they thought were actually being sung by Hale.

“๐Ÿ˜‚โ€ฆ yo I thought Niko was really hittin them notes for a minute! ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธโ€ฆ Glad yall Safe & Sound!๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ”

“He can blow! ๐Ÿ˜‚ yโ€™all play to much”

“Beautiful โค๏ธโค๏ธ Real happy quarantined family on the media. I love this โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ”

“Dj face ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ he so silly. Love this song and the show #goldengirls ๐Ÿ”ฅ glad to see y’all happy and safe!”

“The baby is trying to go to sleep while they are just a singing ๐Ÿ˜‚ awwwww sooo cute and funny ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’—”

“Everybody thinking itโ€™s him actually singing got me dead ๐Ÿ˜‚ I love singing the Golden Girls theme song!! Yaโ€™ll did that!! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ”

This isn’t Cole and Hale’s first rodeo with TikTok.

Just last week, the pair slayed the โ€œOh Na Na Naโ€ dance challenge. Both the songwriter and singer began twisting, turning and giving each foot fives. Their moves impressed fans, who showered them with compliments.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
