Keyshia Cole Claps Back Over Her “Diaper-ish” Shorts
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?”
Cole made it clear she wasn’t going to sweat the criticism, though. But she also later admitted her look was a lil’ diaper-ish. “But I didn’t care; I liked it anyway,” she said.
Meanwhile, a woman assumed to be a friend, appeared in the background, spilling ALL her tea. She joked that Keyshia was loving how her butt popped in them shorts backstage. “She like her butt looking like a diaper,” they teased, acting out how Keyshia was feeling herself right before she went on stage. Keyshia Cole was trying to keep it cute by covering her mouth to hide her laughter but then flipped off the trolls.
