Keyshia Cole keeps it 100% real at all times, though some may say “too real.” Cole expresses growth and maturity in her newest project with the sophomore release Just Like You. Leaving a place of hurt, this project is themed around retrospective thoughts and lessons learned. With a smash single on the radio and a new label on the rise, Cole appears to have it together. But from recent media flare-ups, she reveals her intolerance for constant accusations of her alleged relationship with a famed Atlanta rapper and jabs at the wavering future of her BET reality series. Is Cole really satisfied with her current fan base with no desire to reach new prospects? Since our first feel of Cole in 2004, her rawness and candor was recognized. Cole’s refusal to submit by tap out to the haggling of press may, in fact, help old and new fans understand the ups and downs of her career and lifestyle – ultimately allowing a deeper and more personal connection between Cole and her supporters. But on the flipside of things, will her attitude come across as disgruntled to audiences and stagger her anticipated super celebrity? Does she need to learn how to turn up the charm and turn down the emotions to stay in the game? Cole will only have it one way: live and direct. We were fortunate enough to build with Ms. Cole in an intimate roundtable discussion. Read on how about her new project and her bone to pick with AllHipHop! Read the full interview here.

“Keyshia will be on The Tyra Banks Show on October 24th, 2007 at 5:00pm. So be sure to check that out.”

Keyshia Cole did a shoot for Jason Campbell on August 22, 2007 for MTV. She looks really pretty. Click on thumbs below to see the photos.
