Strictly hip hop news

Keyshia Cole is pregnant, engaged, and estranged from her f’d-up family. After months of rumors, the singing star is coming clean about her personal life: Yes, she’s planning a wedding with her NBA star fiancé, Boobie Gibson of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yes, she’s pregnant with their first child. And yes, there is strife between her, her recovering crack addict mother Frankie, and her sisters; professional baby mama Neffe and aspiring artist Elite.

In a statement to her fans Friday, the “Trust” singer says she has ended communication with her family because she was “at a point in my life where I needed serenity and peace to move forward.”

“To all my friends and fans – It’s time that I clear the air. It’s not a secret that I haven’t been in contact with my mother Frankie, and my sisters Neffe and Elite and I never wanted to air out our differences to the public. While I won’t go into detail here I find it necessary to let you guys know I decided to stop communication with them because I was at a point in my life where I needed serenity and peace to move forward. Please know I love my family very much but it was time to let it go. You guys are a witness to a lot of what was happening from watching on air and online. Now that I am becoming a mom my passion for having a loving and peaceful home for my child is my #1 priority. It’s very important to both Daniel and I. My plate is very full; I have a new baby coming, we are planning our wedding and I am working in the studio on a new album that I am close to completing. The stress that my family is giving me with their constant false reports is not healthy and it’s not what I need at this time in my life. Please understand that there are only a few people that can officially confirm or deny anything that’s happening in my life and that’s me, Daniel, and my publicist, Tresa Sanders. And my girl Monica never lies.”
Love Your Girl,
