Keyshia Cole: Mom makes me proud

1st May 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Keyshia Cole is proud of her moms spin-off reality TV series.

The 29-year-old American singer was born to Francine Frankie Lons, but was later adopted by Yvonne Cole.

Keyshia who is best known for her songs Let It Go and Calling All Hearts starred in her reality/documentary series Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is which aired on BET from 2006 to 2008. The series showed the star navigating both her career and strained relationships with her biological mother and sister.

In 2009 Keyshias mother and sister debuted their own reality show titled Frankie & Neffe on the same channel.

Keyshia has no hard feelings towards her family and is proud of her mom for making a success of her life.

I cant speak for Nefeteria, but I can definitely say for my mother, shes doing a lot better. Even her worst on TV is better than she did when she was on the streets, so I would have to say absolutely it did her great, and Im very proud of her, she told Hip Hop Weekly.

Keyshia insists her troubles with her mom are firmly in the past. Both her biological and adopted mothers have been able to support her in different ways and she appreciates them both equally.

I just realised at times that I may have needed my mom to be there. Now Yvonne is constantly there and so is Frankie, just in a different way. Theyre two completely opposite people; some things Frankie can be there for me for that Yvonne cant, and some things Yvonne can be there for me for that Frankie cant. I just appreciate both for the love that they give me, she gushed. (C) Cover Media
