On April 22, during an interview with TMZ, Cole expressed how talented Brown is and disclosed that she wouldn’t have musically collaborated with him if she felt otherwise. The 40-year-old said, “I think he’s really talented, for sure. I love the body of work that he created. I think he’s gonna be great. I do. I wouldn’t have collaborated if I didn’t think he’d be great.”

When the interviewer asked Cole if Brown should give up his football career to pursue music full-time, she replied, “I don’t think he should give up on anything…You can do whatever you want to do if you put your mind to it.”

As the conversation shifted to Brown possibly winning a Grammy soon, Cole responded when asked if she sees the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver winning that honor, “Of course! Whatever you do, you put your mind to it. You can do whatever you choose to do in life.”

When Cole’s comments circulated online, many mentioned that the “Love” singer only made those claims because she is allegedly dating him. Cole and Brown were first linked back in March after they were seen getting close while shooting a music video for their single “Don’t Leave.”

The football player added more fuel to the dating reports after sharing a video of what appears to be Cole showing off her tattoo of Brown’s initials. Since then, no additional details regarding Cole and Brown’s love life have been released.

“When The D Good, you top supporter!”

“They screwing for her to say that.”

“Either they hooking up or she was just saying anything to blow them off.”

“I couldn’t even listen to the whole song .. that thang must be good to her lol now she know damn well.”

“If he got sum good d-ck just say that Keyshia.”

Still independent.

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.
