‘This Made Me Cry’: Niko Khale’s Sentimental Message to Keyshia Cole Has Fans In Their Feelings

Niko “Khale” Hale recently celebrated girlfriend Keyshia Cole with a heartwarming Mother’s Day post.

The 24-year-old aspiring rapper expressed his appreciation for Cole with sweet couple pictures and claimed that the “Love” singer made him a “better” man.

“Happy Mother’s Day to my Queen 👑 I see a side of you that the world doesn’t see. You’re everything,” Khale wrote via Instagram on Sunday, May 10. “I appreciate you letting ya wall down and giving me your energy. You drive me to be a better man. I was in love with who you were and I’m in love with who you’re becoming. Let’s raise these boys to be Kings. 💪🏾🤞🏾❤️.”

The “Let It Go” songstress and Khale went public with their relationship in early 2018, just months after she filed for divorce from ex-husband Daniel “Booby” Gibson. The couple welcomed their son Tobias last August. Cole shares 10-year-old DJ with Gibson.

Khale’s post follows behind Cole’s semi-lengthy Mother’s Day memo to her fans.

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.
