Keyshia Cole Fans Are Hyped After She Announces Show Date with This Singer

As Keyshia Cole prepares to wrap up her U.S. set of shows, she’s making a stop in Oklahoma City in the next few days and she’s bringing fellow singer Monica along with her.

“Oklahoma City!! I’m ready to hit the stage with my sis @MonicaBrown!! Get your tickets now!!!!,” Cole tweeted Thursday, Jan. 17.

Cole and Monica will perform at The Trust Concert at The Criterion at 8 p.m and fans have made it clear they certainly plan to be there when doors open at 7 p.m.

“THIS GONNA BE ONE BAD ASS SHOW.. I LOOOVE YOU BOTH!!!♥️♥️”

“That’s going to be an awesome show.”

“We wanna hear Trust!!”

“Trust” is a song the two collaborated on back in 2009. After the song was initially featured on Cole’s 2008 album “A Different Me” as a solo track, it was re-recorded before the end of the year as a duet with Monica’s vocals included.

Released as a single and given a video treatment, the song peaked at no. 5 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Monica and Cole have been pals for several years. And last year, they continued their professional relationship by hitting the road with Faith Evans as part of The First Ladies of R&B tour.

But their friendship began being called into question in 2011 when Cole was missing from Monica’s wedding to Shannon Brown. As a result, she was forced to take to Twitter to explain her absence.

“Was on tour that’s why I couldn’t make it, spoke to Mo a few days ago. Very happy for both her N Shannon,” she tweeted.

“Didn’t really want to respond 2 U guys should keep n mind we r not ‘HOLLYWOOD’ Mo and my communication will nt always B thru social networking,” she added.

A few years later, when Monica appeared on “The Breakfast Club” in 2015, she had to confront speculation about why she hadn’t been seen with Cole in public as much.

“Not a thing [happened between us],” the “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” star explained. “She moved to Cleveland. We were living in Atlanta. I had no children; she had no children. So you running the streets! We don’t run the streets anymore. We’re grown. So nothing happened between us.”

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.
