The Instagram Live session seemingly happened on Friday, April 11. A fan viewing the live told Keyshia that her shorts looked like a “diaper” on stage and questioned why she wore them. Well, the singer wasted no time clapping back.
“Because it’s my motherf****** business why I got my god damn diaper on, why the f*** do you care about it,” Keyshia snapped back, partially hiding her face behind a VR headset. “What it mean to you that I got on a goddamn $1,000 diaper — what it mean to you?”
