‘She Is Wayyy Too Grown to be Posting Something Like This’: Keyshia Cole’s Latest Post About Her New Boo Turns Fans Off, Cole Claps Back

Keyshia Cole is still enjoying her man — but she also has a little time on her hands to clap back at her haters that have a problem with it.

On April 13, she posted a video of a hickey on her neck to show off what her boo left behind after kissing her. Apparently, the red mark wasn’t red enough for her, because she wrote on the video, “Next time make it darker bae Issa vibe,” while Coi Leray’s “No More Parties” played.

Ever since she posted hints about having a new boo to now dropping videos of him — while keeping his face hidden — fans have been not only excited for Cole, but they’ve also been nosy. Many anxious fans are over the suspense and want to know who he is. As of late, it looks like a few might have found his Instagram page and said allegedly his name is Zay. But now the excitement for fans has died down and they are just plain annoyed by her most recent post of her hickey.

One person said, “She is wayyy too grown to be posting something like this.” “That is not a vibe. That’s high school asl,” said another. Someone else even said, “It’s giving midlife crisis.”

Cole caught wind of the negative comments and responded on Twitter. She said, “How can u be too old for a hickey ?? You b- – – – -s crazy. And whoever said it. F- -k ya! #Respectfully 😂,” and she didn’t stop there. More fans who were seemingly bothered by the post decided to write her on Twitter, and she responded to several of them.

One person who brought her two sons into the situation wrote, “It’s not that your too old for a hickey , but that fact you felt the need to post it , was VERY childish ! especially when you have kids & are in the public eye like that! @KeyshiaCole.” Cole responded, “The f- -k my kids got to do with my hickey? They hovers because y’all was f-cking! 😂 I’m sorry, making love🥰👅.”

She responded to most of her critics with laughing emojis, tongue emojis, or some sort of smile emoji. It’s safe to say Cole is happy, and she’s not going to let the hater rain on her parade.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
