‘Sorry Try Again’: Keyshia Cole’s Boyfriend Niko Khale Tries to Convince Fans Their Son Is His Twin, They Don’t Buy It

It seems Keyshia Cole and Niko “Khale” Hale‘s fans believe their 9-month-old son Tobias Khale is his mother’s twin.

Hale, 24, took to Instagram on Wednesday, May 6, and shared a side-by-side shot of himself and his son’s baby photos. Convinced that baby Tobias was a spitting image of him, the new father wrote in his caption, “Me as a baby. My son. He still his mama child , but das me right dere. 🤣🤞🏾❤️”

A few fans agreed with Hale and said the infant did indeed favor him.

“Danggggg Niko that’s your twin 😩❤️”

“Yes ! The eyes!😍 I have to say y’all are TWINS 😂💯”

“Twins so precious. He look just like his dad when he smile he look like him too ❤️👏”

Others strongly believed baby Tobias greatly resembled Cole, 37.

“I see a little bit of you but alot of Keyshia”

“No sorry try again that’s Keyshia’s baby lol”

“He most definitely looks like Keyshia. He has a little bit of your features but really his mother’s face … It shows”

“Wow! That’s all Keyshia right there, he’s her Twin lol😍❤️”

Cole and her boyfriend Hale welcomed their son on August 1, 2019.

The nine month old is Hale’s first child. The “Heaven Sent” singer has a 10-year-old son from a previous relationship.

Hale’s post comes nearly a week after Cole showed off the child’s new hairdo on his official Instagram page on April 26. She braided their son’s hair in plaits just like his father and the post read, “Guess who braided my hair 😏 Issa vibe or no?”

Baby Tobias’ new hairdo left fans gushing.

Hale seems to be enjoying fatherhood at the moment. In a February post, he shared a sweet photo of himself and baby Tobias and captioned it, “Me & My dawg 👊🏽”

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.
