Speaker 5: I'm bugging at This is the twentieth anniversary of your
Speaker 5: debut album, My God Dance.
Speaker 6: Fly By.
Speaker 3: It is a long time.
Speaker 1: How does it feel when you think back to think
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 3: I'm still processing it.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm happy that we're able to do a
Speaker 4: tour twenty aeth year anniversary tour is more insane because
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, it's a great album. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I appreciative of the fans and them supporting.
Speaker 5: So what do you remember about yourself twenty years ago?
Speaker 5: The woman you were twenty years ago?
Speaker 4: Recking moons baby, just just fighting is crazy, just insane.
Speaker 3: But I learned a lot, so it's all good.
Speaker 2: You ever go back to some of those old times
Speaker 2: and those old interviews and watching them and be like, god, damn,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: M I just act like it never happened.
Speaker 1: But you gotta love every version of yourself. Every version
Speaker 1: of yourself played a part because we grew up.
Speaker 7: Well, I feel like I grew up with you.
Speaker 8: You going through those different times like music and.
Speaker 7: Reality Showish Cold then mom, Keisha Cold.
Speaker 3: That's what did it be?
Speaker 7: The mom?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I didn't want to, like, you know, go to jail
Speaker 4: and never get to see them again. So I mean
Speaker 4: you have to make life altering decisions. That gay man
Speaker 4: if I do that and see me up the creek.
Speaker 2: The Keisha Remy ma.
Speaker 1: Ever, that was a crazy era.
Speaker 3: That was That was that was That was stumping for sure.
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking I'm thinking back, like wow, just about that.
Speaker 2: If there was like heavy social media back.
Speaker 3: Then, oh thank god no heavy phones back then. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think soon as I actually was pregnant when instant
Speaker 4: was it Instagram, Twitter?
Speaker 3: When Twitter first.
Speaker 4: Started, and Monica was trying to get me on Twitter
Speaker 4: and she was on Twitter, and I just I didn't
Speaker 4: like it.
Speaker 3: It's like everybody just they was talking.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm like, okay, I spelled one word wrong once.
Speaker 3: It was not my type of tigue. But yeah, it's been.
Speaker 3: It's been a minute twenty years.
Speaker 5: What part of your story do you think people still
Speaker 5: get wrong even after all these years.
Speaker 3: Wrong?
Speaker 9: Wrong, yeah, misconception, Uh yeah, that I'm really mean, that
Speaker 9: I'm nasty, that I got a bad attitude, I'm a bit.
Speaker 4: Stuff like that, I guess because that's not the case, right,
Speaker 4: But maybe back then, I don't know, you know, but
Speaker 4: we all grow, we all changed, we all evolved. So
Speaker 4: I think that now that's the vibe. Like, you know,
Speaker 4: it's twenty years. My oldest is fifteen, so you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, and she was just telling me she wanted
Speaker 3: a little girl. She's ready for a little girl. Now
Speaker 3: I am ready for a little girl to start over.
Speaker 4: If God yes, for the rest of my life, yep,
Speaker 4: that would be awesome.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, when you were accomplished.
Speaker 4: So many things, and you set so many goals for yourself,
Speaker 4: and imagine accomplishing those goals, all.
Speaker 3: The goals that you set for yourself.
Speaker 4: Like I always wanted to headline my own arena tour.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I said that when I came up here,
Speaker 4: maybe ten years ago. And I mean, just like that,
Speaker 4: I'm on my second one now for my first album,
Speaker 4: that is just insane to me just to kind of
Speaker 4: process that. But I mean, I think setting new goals
Speaker 4: and just wanting new things in my life.
Speaker 3: I think a girl would be one.
Speaker 4: Of them, because this version of Keisha would be better
Speaker 4: for sure. A girl, Yeah, and a husband and a husband.
Speaker 4: The old one was not taking it, not having it.
Speaker 3: No, actually you got to go. I think, yeah, we
Speaker 3: came up here one time. Yeah, yeah, so that was
Speaker 3: the thing. But yeah, like you know, I think this
Speaker 3: version would be better.
Speaker 5: For I think the beauty of you know, Keisha is
Speaker 5: that you did grow, at least to me, on your
Speaker 5: own terms.
Speaker 1: Good, bad, ugly.
Speaker 5: You grew on your own terms, and a lot of
Speaker 5: people don't get get that opportunity.
Speaker 1: Really, I don't think so, especially in.
Speaker 5: Music, because like like you grew, you grew out loud,
Speaker 5: you grew in front of people. You know, like some
Speaker 5: people gotta there's an image that they got to maintain,
Speaker 5: so they don't ever get to do that, and then
Speaker 5: you know, they end up slapping somebody on stage and
Speaker 5: you was like, damn, I even know that was you.
Speaker 3: Was grewing in there.
Speaker 4: Nobody knew that anger was yeah yeah, yeah that I
Speaker 4: thought that was stage. Okay, so boom. I don't know
Speaker 4: because that's what they show on TV. They say that
Speaker 4: it would happen before and something.
Speaker 3: What the heck was that?
Speaker 4: But I like, yeah, my son too. I was like,
Speaker 4: I never seen my my oldest son. He's angry at
Speaker 4: all ever, like, and I'm scared about that, Like I'm like,
Speaker 4: where is it coming? When is it coming? Because I've
Speaker 4: never seen him yell, get loud argue.
Speaker 3: I'm like, never seen him, so that would be scary.
Speaker 3: But no, I have. I have. I have lived my
Speaker 3: life in front of everybody. I don't. Yeah, I just
Speaker 3: never had a problem with it.
Speaker 5: You said you've never seen your son a yellow screen,
Speaker 5: but that says a lot about the environment you raised him. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Maybe we just used to that because that's how we
Speaker 5: came up. So we think that's almost supposed to be.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah no, But I don't know, because my little
Speaker 4: one he cuts everybody out.
Speaker 1: Okay, give me all hell.
Speaker 3: That broke loose with me. I hope I pray not.
Speaker 10: But it looks as if so because he don't take
Speaker 10: no yeah all, like he'd be capping on his brother,
Speaker 10: like for real, big back and all.
Speaker 4: Yeh what his brother yeah, and what his brother do, Tobias,
Speaker 4: that's not nice.
Speaker 3: So one is alk, one is Malcolm Max oh Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, very much. So call your son the big
Speaker 1: back his brother brother, yea.
Speaker 3: Her little son.
Speaker 4: Because DJ's dad and grandfather they're six to six nine.
Speaker 3: You know, his grandmother is tall, all of them. So
Speaker 3: DJ is big.
Speaker 4: He's like, he's a big guy, but not No, he's
Speaker 4: not fat, but he's a big dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah play football. Yeah we don't.
Speaker 1: We called him. We don't call him big backs.
Speaker 3: We called Tobias.
Speaker 1: But as a kid, you call everybody big bag? Is
Speaker 1: he got it wrong? You gotta teach him.
Speaker 3: I tell him all the time. That's not cool.
Speaker 1: To teach him when it's obese people that walk by.
Speaker 1: That's when you use that, is.
Speaker 4: Not when you use the term. No use the term.
Speaker 4: Where Tobias got that from?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Oh YouTube, No, yeah.
Speaker 7: You definitely you and.
Speaker 1: You made it a little bigger.
Speaker 4: What I've always loved about you always been relatable with
Speaker 4: your music and even like showing your life on TV
Speaker 4: with your family and everything like that. Was there ever
Speaker 4: a point that you said that she regretted doing that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Hell yeah. When everything started going to ship. Can
Speaker 3: I say that?
Speaker 4: Yes, Okay, thank you, because yeah, when everything started, like
Speaker 4: when nobody was getting better, you feel like that was
Speaker 4: the goal for the show.
Speaker 3: And I remember talking to me me Val about this.
Speaker 4: She was the editor of a vibe magazine and I
Speaker 4: was like, I don't know if I should do it.
Speaker 3: She said, well, what is your purpose of doing it?
Speaker 4: And I said, well, I want to show the girls
Speaker 4: out there where I come from and me being able
Speaker 4: to make it out the hood and like really put
Speaker 4: that work in. She said, we'll show that and make
Speaker 4: sure that the focus is always that. And when it
Speaker 4: was like coming became a point of like unhealthy, just
Speaker 4: like really unhealthy. Well my mom was showing up and
Speaker 4: it was like, bro, we cannot film today. Bro, Like
Speaker 4: that's not cool, Like I'm not doing this. We got
Speaker 4: to stop this. And everybody was like really pissed at me. Okay,
Speaker 4: because it was a lot of money on the table
Speaker 4: and I didn't care about that.
Speaker 3: Like it was like no, every we.
Speaker 4: Need to get some see some counseling, you know, put
Speaker 4: my mom in the program. And she was just like
Speaker 4: he said, that's just it's just not what I want,
Speaker 4: Like I'm happy with my life the way I am.
Speaker 3: And I was just like, stop.
Speaker 4: Spending your money. It's no need to do that. I
Speaker 4: don't want it. And I was like, I just it
Speaker 4: was just a point where I was just like, Okay, well,
Speaker 4: it ain't no reason to keep continuing. They know we living,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, like, and I'm not showing
Speaker 4: anything that's growing people anymore.
Speaker 3: So I prefer to not do that.
Speaker 1: Oh I respect that.
Speaker 8: How hard was it for you to hear that from
Speaker 8: your mom and accept that like that, that she wanted
Speaker 8: to live her life on her terms.
Speaker 4: Well, I just was like, you don't you sure you
Speaker 4: don't think it's anything we could do, you know, like
Speaker 4: maybe we can try, and she just just like no,
Speaker 4: I just prefer It was like maybe a year before
Speaker 4: she passed, actually, and she came out there and she
Speaker 4: actually told me not to put her in a program
Speaker 4: because she had Obamacare and she wanted to use her
Speaker 4: medica or whatever to go into a program. And I
Speaker 4: was like, okay, well that's what you want to do,
Speaker 4: you know, And she told me, she pulled to the side.
Speaker 4: She said, you know, Kisha, you never made me feel unloved,
Speaker 4: You never judge me. You never cursed at me, You
Speaker 4: never put your hands on me. She said, God is
Speaker 4: gonna bless you for that. And I'm like, my, like,
Speaker 4: come on, she said no, And I'm just I'm just
Speaker 4: telling you, like you know, and I know I won't
Speaker 4: to do things the way I want to do them, man,
Speaker 4: and but you're doing You're gonna be all right, And
Speaker 4: I'm just like this is just like I just can't
Speaker 4: take this, bro, Like, come on, like, sure's nothing we.
Speaker 3: Could do, Like I'm thinking it's something we could do.
Speaker 3: But yeah, are years later?
Speaker 5: Has your definition of family changed since since losing your mom?
Speaker 3: Definition?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: What you mean just in general, like your definition of
Speaker 5: family change, Like what was your definition of family before?
Speaker 4: I guess no, no, love and supporting and unconditionally being
Speaker 4: there for people if that doesn't hurt you for sure,
Speaker 4: you know, because there's limitations to everything, especially if it's
Speaker 4: doing something that's not you're hurting yourself now, No, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I learned that when I have my.
Speaker 4: Boys that there's there's different ways I can support you
Speaker 4: and be there for you, but not harming my children
Speaker 4: or my family. Right, But it's still the same. I mean,
Speaker 4: you know, I still visit my family and see my family.
Speaker 4: Nieces comeing to live with me. She's I gave her,
Speaker 4: I'm giving her summer job.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. And you know, my nieces are beautiful nephews.
Speaker 3: So yeah, day at.
Speaker 1: A time, reconnected with your siblings.
Speaker 3: Yeah, nephew. Yeah, just you know, just.
Speaker 5: Slowly, surely, and then the love you have for your kids,
Speaker 5: you realize that's a total different love that you would
Speaker 5: ever have for anybody else.
Speaker 4: I think so well, yeah, I mean, but there was
Speaker 4: a point where I looked at Nephie and just was like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, like the most beautiful thing I've ever
Speaker 4: seen in my life, Like you know, and I felt
Speaker 4: like that about my mama, Like, oh my god, I
Speaker 4: don't care what nobody said about my mama.
Speaker 3: Mama just looks so beautiful to me, like you know,
Speaker 3: my children.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just like I would. I would hurt
Speaker 4: myself for my children, you know what I'm saying. So,
Speaker 4: yeah that I guess in terms of that for sure, Yeah,
Speaker 4: for sure. Yeah, because that go back to what I said, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I gotta protect mammy, gotta protect that first.
Speaker 3: Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2: Keisha Coles, is my story? Did you like that that
Speaker 2: lifetime story.
Speaker 4: I felt like it was so much more I wanted
Speaker 4: to tell and go back to me saying that I
Speaker 4: sell a list of goals for myself.
Speaker 3: If you go back to the reality.
Speaker 4: Show the way it is in the first season, I
Speaker 4: said that I wanted to do my own movie, and
Speaker 4: I sat with suld what was his name that did.
Speaker 3: He passed away?
Speaker 4: John Singleton, I said with John, and we talked about
Speaker 4: doing the movie and stuff like that, and we actually
Speaker 4: had a screen play about it, and it was about
Speaker 4: my life and my struggles with my mom and my
Speaker 4: family and my love life and my music career and
Speaker 4: all these different things.
Speaker 3: But when my mother passed and they we.
Speaker 4: Had already been speaking to them before the verses about.
Speaker 3: Doing the movie, and then when my mom passed, it kind.
Speaker 4: Of shifted that story a bit into my mom and
Speaker 4: me paying kind of homage to my mother and everything
Speaker 4: that I've experienced with her since since a little girl.
Speaker 4: And so it became the Frankie movie. Like always she's
Speaker 4: even in passing, She's just I was like, by it's
Speaker 4: your movie, like you know what, But I'm cool with it,
Speaker 4: you know, and hopefully one day I'll be able to
Speaker 4: do my own movie because I felt like that was
Speaker 4: really just a movie on our life together.
Speaker 2: You have so much history, I mean so much history,
Speaker 2: from the mc hamm or to pop to the music
Speaker 2: industry to.
Speaker 3: Dwayne Wiggins rest in peace.
Speaker 2: Yes, I look at your you know, your crowds, and
Speaker 2: your crowds go from sixty years old to fifteen years
Speaker 2: old because your songs just transcend like Love.
Speaker 1: I'm looking.
Speaker 2: I'm like Love is twenty years old, which is crazy?
Speaker 7: You play that in.
Speaker 1: The club now, yeah, and how does that feel?
Speaker 4: Well, if you think about it in the reality show,
Speaker 4: we can go back to that and my mother and
Speaker 4: people seeing a Frankie in their family, like I'm from
Speaker 4: across the world, like you know, every hood has, you know,
Speaker 4: somebody like my mom, you know. And then we got
Speaker 4: somebody that Frankie, I mean, Nephie crazy just you know,
Speaker 4: like you know, it ain't gonna hold nothing back, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Then we got somebody like me that want to make
Speaker 4: it work, somebody that's going you know.
Speaker 3: So if you got.
Speaker 4: Those generations and them now I have children, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. And those five year olds, six year olds,
Speaker 4: seven year olds, they singing love, you know, but we
Speaker 4: have these generations of the mother that plays the music
Speaker 4: for the daughter and now the daughter who's my age
Speaker 4: has two kids and now they're singing it. So it's
Speaker 4: like to be able to see that. And Stevie Wonder
Speaker 4: told me this. He said, you are to your generation
Speaker 4: what we were to your parents.
Speaker 3: And I was like, huh.
Speaker 4: He was like, yeah, that's what you are. I'm like,
Speaker 4: ain't no fucking way.
Speaker 3: That's insane. No, I was like, dah, heicked up.
Speaker 5: Man, No, when did you realize you was the generational
Speaker 5: curse break for your family?
Speaker 3: Huh? What do you mean?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 3: Serious?
Speaker 1: When did you realize you was the generational.
Speaker 3: Crisis so much? Why do you think that you give that?
Speaker 3: That is it?
Speaker 7: That's what that reality show was watching that.
Speaker 3: And you just kind of uttered it out of your mouth.
Speaker 4: You say, you had someone like you that wants to
Speaker 4: make it work, that wants to see change, that wants
Speaker 4: to break the cycle. Yeah, that's what you are, not
Speaker 4: just with the man, Yo, that's insane to think that.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if I process that, but nah,
Speaker 4: not having processed that, because it's so much work that
Speaker 4: needs to be done, and I would love I mean
Speaker 4: that dream of that little girl on wanting to be
Speaker 4: superstar so that she can have all her sisters and
Speaker 4: brothers live with.
Speaker 3: Her in one home.
Speaker 4: I did that it didn't work out, and and that's sad,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, because I really wanted that
Speaker 4: for all of us to be together, and that didn't
Speaker 4: really happen. And that's why it took so long to
Speaker 4: bury my mother because a lot of my brothers and
Speaker 4: sisters would not come together. And all my mother wanted
Speaker 4: to see was all her kids. I know she wouldn't
Speaker 4: have been able to see it, but wherever she was
Speaker 4: that she was able to see it. And that's why
Speaker 4: it took so long. Because I wanted to bring everybody
Speaker 4: together for her one last time. That was all she
Speaker 4: kept saying the year before her passing. I want to
Speaker 4: see all my babies together. Wow, And we couldn't do it,
Speaker 4: and it's just like really pissing me off. So to
Speaker 4: know that the curse is broken, it would have to
Speaker 4: be everybody getting along, everybody coming together cohesively and making
Speaker 4: things work, even if that's not you know, hanging out
Speaker 4: all the time, but at least speaking and being cordial
Speaker 4: and loving one another, and the children most most of all.
Speaker 4: I think you know, that would be to me a
Speaker 4: successful generational curse breaking, not just me and my family
Speaker 4: living well.
Speaker 3: And you know that. I mean that would be mine. Yeah,
Speaker 3: did you.
Speaker 1: Tell the family? Did the family know that?
Speaker 11: Wow?
Speaker 1: And they couldn't put you to the side for that?
Speaker 3: No? Wow, that was all my brook. Oh, this is
Speaker 3: all that.
Speaker 4: All that ain't nothing we were talking about right now,
Speaker 4: you know, And that's what y'all gonna have to live
Speaker 4: with for the rest of y'all life.
Speaker 3: I mean, at that.
Speaker 4: Point, I was like, I ain't you know, my mom
Speaker 4: gotta she got to rest in peace finally. So it's like,
Speaker 4: if that ain't gonna be the vibe, y'all don't want that.
Speaker 4: I can't want it, you know. And for y'all.
Speaker 5: So do you hold a grudge like somebody ask you
Speaker 5: for something like, nah, you ain't come, You ain't come
Speaker 5: to mama.
Speaker 4: Now they don't even have my information. I can't see
Speaker 4: it to say no, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 4: but a grudge, I don't think so no, because anybody,
Speaker 4: like I said, can change and anybody like you know,
Speaker 4: but you have to show that over time. And I
Speaker 4: was talking about this last night, which is so funny.
Speaker 4: We're having this conversation right now, and who I used
Speaker 4: to be and the person that would wreck the room
Speaker 4: at steven Hill. They had to pay for it, you know,
Speaker 4: and me and my sister just slat boxing at them
Speaker 4: because me and nephew just used to go at it
Speaker 4: like cast the dogs and fight and fight outside in
Speaker 4: this hotel room.
Speaker 3: By everything's broke, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: But over time, we've shown that that's not the way
Speaker 4: we fix it, and that's not how we deal with it,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, whatever that may be. And
Speaker 4: she's still crazy though, but and I'm still crazy a
Speaker 4: little bit, but he doesn't say it, but we just
Speaker 4: it changes it just and you show people over time
Speaker 4: what that looks like.
Speaker 3: And that's by you know, you proven it.
Speaker 1: You jump somebody together.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, we've never nobody's given us the opportunity.
Speaker 3: Nobody presented it to it. It's not like it could happen,
Speaker 3: like nobody was voted.
Speaker 1: Like make that thing.
Speaker 2: You mentioned versus before, people were thinking that there was
Speaker 2: tension between you as Shanty during versus.
Speaker 4: Was it any No, and in addition to that, I'm
Speaker 4: so mad I had got COVID because I was ready
Speaker 4: to just I was so mad, like so pissed, and no.
Speaker 1: That's what she was mad about having COVID.
Speaker 4: I I was mad that I had COVID in addition
Speaker 4: to the fact that my MIC wasn't working. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: And I was like, get my mic right, don't do
Speaker 4: that to me. I don't know what who's in who's
Speaker 4: in here, but y'are not about to sabotage my stuff.
Speaker 4: So that was that was But it came off as
Speaker 4: like I was being unappreciative of the moment, which I
Speaker 4: wasn't because I was so excited about that moment. And
Speaker 4: I mean to be up there with such a beautiful
Speaker 4: like artists like Ashanti, like I came up on a
Speaker 4: Shanti like that, so fire, So nah never and I
Speaker 4: hate that people took it that way.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Nah.
Speaker 5: There were some people who thought that was stage two though,
Speaker 5: because they think that that's like your persona, like a
Speaker 5: character you portray that would like always with the drama,
Speaker 5: always angry damn.
Speaker 8: I think it was during the verses when it was
Speaker 8: the thing about whose turn it was, people were like
Speaker 8: they I think I don't know if she was reminding
Speaker 8: you it was her turn. He was reminding her it
Speaker 8: was your turn. And people was like, all right, they're
Speaker 8: doing this to play into the whole. Wait what during
Speaker 8: the verses, I think it was a shanty was telling
Speaker 8: you that it was her turn. You're about to play
Speaker 8: another song. But I think you were just excited to
Speaker 8: play that other song. You don't remember this really, yes,
Speaker 8: but people grab that online too and they were like,
Speaker 8: this is them playing into the whole like Keishakle do
Speaker 8: her thing her little one too.
Speaker 3: Oh no, man, that's too bad. I hate that.
Speaker 4: I hate that, But I mean shout out to Ashanti,
Speaker 4: because I mean she's amazing. So yeah, I mean, just
Speaker 4: to be up on that platform with Ashanti.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that.
Speaker 7: Did y'all talk after that?
Speaker 3: No? Okay, No, she got a baby? Yeah she pregnant again. Yes, congratulations.
Speaker 5: Have you ever felt pressure, like from the label or
Speaker 5: a TV network to I guess market pain or drama
Speaker 5: because people associate your music with heartbreaking.
Speaker 4: I wish I could blame that on them.
Speaker 3: No, it's just the way it is.
Speaker 4: Right twenty years now, and on tour twenty years later
Speaker 4: for the way it is. No, I actually I wrote
Speaker 4: a bunch of them songs myself, so they're all everything
Speaker 4: that I've experienced. It's like a selected few that wasn't
Speaker 4: written by me enough to no love. I should have
Speaker 4: cheated Deron and Q for one twelve. You know there's
Speaker 4: a few.
Speaker 1: Songs you would on somebody else. I should have cheated.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that was not my idea exactly. Sure, that's
Speaker 3: for twenty years. It's true I didn't write it. I
Speaker 3: mean I wish I would have because it was actually
Speaker 3: a hit. But nah, I can't take credit. When you
Speaker 3: start trusting love again, I have you every time heartbreak?
Speaker 3: So yeah, wow we shall love like well, you know,
Speaker 3: just what the mess? Eleven eleven period?
Speaker 6: Are you?
Speaker 3: Are you single? Yes? Or is it complicated? No, it's
Speaker 3: not complicated at all. It's very much given single.
Speaker 7: Okay, are you dating?
Speaker 4: I haven't decided to date again yet. I I take compliments,
Speaker 4: thank you, will you answered that? Thank you for that?

Speaker 4: not like, Oh, I'm dating some dude and I'm sitting
Speaker 4: across the table and I got to him on my chest,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 4: I guess I got too much work to do right now,
Speaker 4: Like I'm going on tour, the BET Awards is coming up.
Speaker 5: Yes, even he's not doing They don't have a problem
Speaker 5: in writing you backup.
Speaker 1: You don't updressing room.
Speaker 3: I mean they liked me more, made reality show. Come here.
Speaker 1: No just no ideas.
Speaker 5: Please.
Speaker 1: You know you'll tell some ship in a minute.
Speaker 3: Will you know? I'm not like you. I'm not like
Speaker 3: the Yes, I'm not. You don't tear Damn No, I don't.
Speaker 1: Just curage people out.
Speaker 3: You got to pick up truck.
Speaker 4: I felt like I at one time or another when
Speaker 4: you pulled up to a house.
Speaker 3: And two, no, girl, ago, I believe you. I believe
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 11: That's so crazy, my husband go on, but I don't.
Speaker 5: I want to rephrase my question. Then when did you
Speaker 5: start trusting love again? Would it ever appeared when you
Speaker 5: didn't trust?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: No, no, no no. I know when someone cares about you.
Speaker 4: I do, And but things happened, you know, Like I
Speaker 4: just feel like some things aren't made to last. And
Speaker 4: unfortunately my last thing love has it. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's here, maybe it's not. I don't know. Like
Speaker 4: I said, I'm just really for re legitly going with
Speaker 4: the flow. And like I said, I'm so blessed to
Speaker 4: be able to be here still like twenty years later
Speaker 4: and do the way it is tour that came out
Speaker 4: twenty years ago, and have these little babies and the
Speaker 4: older people like you know, my mom, and singing the
Speaker 4: songs and loving the music. So I'm just focused on
Speaker 4: that right now, and if it happens, it's like cool.
Speaker 4: I'm not in a rush to get no tattoo covered
Speaker 4: up right now. I'm not in a rush to date
Speaker 4: right now. I just want to like appreciate the moment
Speaker 4: for what it is right now? Like I think more
Speaker 4: so than anything, it's not about love right now, it's
Speaker 4: about my fans. And yeah, has it ever been a
Speaker 4: point right where you was like where you have to
Speaker 4: be reminded of who the fuck you are?
Speaker 5: Though?
Speaker 4: You know people say I would love to address that.
Speaker 4: What do people mean by that?
Speaker 3: I guess it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you forget who you are or people playing
Speaker 1: on your name.
Speaker 4: Okay, so can I can we dive in a little
Speaker 4: bit in that? What does that truly mean? Knowing who
Speaker 4: you truly like, knowing your worth and people playing in
Speaker 4: your face?
Speaker 3: So and then what do you do?
Speaker 9: What do you?
Speaker 3: I mean, do you do? What you do?
Speaker 7: You want a more direct statement what we're talking about?
Speaker 5: So for me go ahead now I was gonna say
Speaker 5: the answer, just question directly. It is like, sometimes you
Speaker 5: got to silence the noise around you. Because we hear
Speaker 5: so much opinions about us, about us from other people.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you might start believing that ship and that ain't
Speaker 5: that their opinions aren't real.
Speaker 4: And pretty much I know that truly and who you
Speaker 4: date right like, because I always was I was seeing
Speaker 4: the comments around whenever you.
Speaker 3: Will go viral for actually you're not going viral.
Speaker 4: It would be something around your relationship, right, and it
Speaker 4: would be like, yo, did.
Speaker 3: She not know who she is? Like she is Keisha Koch,
Speaker 3: She don't need to put up with this ship? Or
Speaker 3: how did how? How did he even get to be
Speaker 3: with her?
Speaker 4: How?
Speaker 3: Why she keep dating young girl? Why she you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying?
Speaker 4: Okay, So specifically, yes, so when things were surround no,
Speaker 4: I really want to get to the rood.
Speaker 3: Okay address, that's that's the real way. Okay.
Speaker 4: So when things happen in his life are surrounding him,
Speaker 4: but me and him are in relationship, so boom, that
Speaker 4: then makes me look like I don't know my words
Speaker 4: because of these things that are that's outside of our
Speaker 4: relationship and what he's dealing with now, that makes me
Speaker 4: look like Keisha, do you know who you are? So
Speaker 4: then ask Keisha Cole, what would you suggest I do?
Speaker 4: What would be that to show the world I'm Keisha Cole?
Speaker 3: Would that be.
Speaker 2: I was not given the thing? Am I am? I?
Speaker 3: Am I tworking? What am I doing?
Speaker 6: This?
Speaker 3: Show?
Speaker 1: People think they know, but we don't know your relationships.
Speaker 5: Shots you do whatever makes makes you happy because you
Speaker 5: put the diaper on and.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, get the money right, okay, so boom that
Speaker 4: that looks good?
Speaker 3: Okay, and stay quiet?
Speaker 1: Mm hm, who do what you want to do?
Speaker 10: Now?
Speaker 4: I just want to know because people say it all
Speaker 4: the time, remember who you are?
Speaker 3: And I thought, me, remember who I am?
Speaker 4: Just my personal opinion of myself and love and when
Speaker 4: you truly love somebody, you don't just be like, oh yeah, because.
Speaker 3: I'm Keisha Cole. Now I can go out and I.
Speaker 4: Can show him who I really could be with or
Speaker 4: who I really could be around, who really my friends
Speaker 4: who really like No, it's cool and whatever happens God
Speaker 4: is happening because God said it's happening.
Speaker 3: So how do I like? I can't just I'm just
Speaker 3: not like that.
Speaker 5: So you know that I think about it. And if
Speaker 5: they say remember who you are, maybe clearly we don't
Speaker 5: know you if you're.
Speaker 3: Doing what you want to do, like we think we know,
Speaker 3: that's the problem.
Speaker 4: Like that, like you say, other people's opinions are you
Speaker 4: know just what they are?
Speaker 3: Other people's opinions, but we don't know, like the people
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 4: So above all of this, it's what that is. It's
Speaker 4: like you're above all of this.
Speaker 3: You're above, You're.
Speaker 4: Greater than everything that's happening in your life, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's so fit above that. Don't deal with nothing and
Speaker 4: actually don't even bring nobody to the forefront no more.
Speaker 4: Actually we don't even want to see you with nobody,
Speaker 4: Kisha until this.
Speaker 7: That's how you feel like people feel.
Speaker 4: I think so because and I'm not taking it as
Speaker 4: a way that like people feel like they don't want
Speaker 4: to see me happy well sometimes, but you know they'd
Speaker 4: rather see it, like if it's gonna be real, then
Speaker 4: it's gonna be for forever, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I think my fans are like, we didn't see you
Speaker 3: go through enough what.
Speaker 2: It is, we don't see so much.
Speaker 1: We want you to be happy.
Speaker 8: It was a video that when Barro you you were performing,
Speaker 8: it was doing all the hunt Sho stuff and you
Speaker 8: were crying and they try to say, Okay, this is
Speaker 8: because of the Hunchho stuff, and people were really really upset,
Speaker 8: like online, because people want to protect you so much,
Speaker 8: and but you stay quiet when you see stuff like that,
Speaker 8: and whether it is or it's not about him, how
Speaker 8: you feel.
Speaker 4: It was actually the last show of the last tour,
Speaker 4: and that was my first arena tour that I prayed for,
Speaker 4: and I was thanking the fans for like being there
Speaker 4: for the whole tour and you know, us having great,
Speaker 4: a great tour. Like I was crying of my fans
Speaker 4: being there for me. Like I don't know where the
Speaker 4: hunch thing came from. I don't know, but if they
Speaker 4: wanted to think I was crying over front, I guess
Speaker 4: out of the.
Speaker 7: I was like cool anyway, a happier note.
Speaker 8: I love to see people giving you your just due
Speaker 8: because you deserve all of the flowers and the things.
Speaker 7: I was an usher show when he brought you, brought
Speaker 7: you on stage. That was great. It was amazing to
Speaker 7: see that. I was like, what is happening?
Speaker 8: And it was so pure because you could tell you
Speaker 8: didn't even want to be up there, but he just
Speaker 8: made it a point to He dropped love and she
Speaker 8: didn't even have to sing a word.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was so sweet for that. He was so sweet.
Speaker 3: He just wanted you to listen to them. They were
Speaker 3: screaming at the happening along as the whole arena. Oh
Speaker 3: my god, for word. Yeah, I think that's what I
Speaker 3: think we were talking about. This the other day. I
Speaker 3: think when people do that, it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: Really, I don't know, I get real like, I don't know, like,
Speaker 4: but maybe that's what y'all mean by I remember who
Speaker 4: you are?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm that as well. I thought.
Speaker 2: Charlomage on stage put cherry and Charlamage mount to the diaper.
Speaker 3: She like it.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't care either way. I'm just asking
Speaker 1: because people be.
Speaker 3: On I feel like it's really it's cool.
Speaker 4: It's another thing like my fans are people in general
Speaker 4: just like to pick at me. I feel like because
Speaker 4: I could have sworn it, but like they were telling
Speaker 4: me that Douce wore it to the super Bowl or
Speaker 4: something like, doc, yeah, she wore it to the super
Speaker 4: Bowl and she wore the same outfit and everybody says
Speaker 4: she did it and it was fashion and it was
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh really, because I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: They showed me last night and I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: not like it.
Speaker 4: And they showed you you've been but okay, so remember
Speaker 4: who I am and remember but I can't, so don't

Speaker 4: actual outfit, yo, know because you.
Speaker 1: Know the wrapper of the baby used to wear diaper
Speaker 1: on things. Yes, because the whole the baby, the baby
Speaker 1: used to you.
Speaker 3: Need to stop. That's not because that.
Speaker 1: Was his whole person. It was the baby. So we
Speaker 1: had a panther on during weekends.

Speaker 1: What why?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know all I know, and I'm gonna try

Speaker 3: I do think that he said a lot.
Speaker 4: But in addition to that, he also said that nobody
Speaker 4: wants me and nobody cares about me.
Speaker 3: So I just felt I took that as a that's
Speaker 3: like a hm hm hm cool. Then that means that
Speaker 3: you shouldn't speak about me.
Speaker 4: That means that there should be nothing there that should
Speaker 4: be If you nobody wants or cares, then it shouldn't
Speaker 4: be spoken anymore.
Speaker 3: That's what I thought. That meant.
