It takes a real strong person to stand up and say enough is enough and mean it. You go Keyshia!

Sometimes u have to let all that negative energy go, even if it’s your family. she gave them a step to get ahead and look how they repaid her.

do what you gotta do. cut off all negative energy even if they are blood related. it is what it is.

1st!

1st!! lol!!! I can’t stand when ppl do that.

anywho, I’m happy for her and her upcoming adventures…sometimes u have to let ppl go, even if it is your family…God bless u Keisha!

Good move Keisha! It’s hard as hell to get rid of the family.

Her fam is crazy anyway. She dont need them bringing her down!

first?

This is good for her, but so sad in a way that her adult family acted childesh enough for her to part ways with them. You can’t really get rid of your fam, but there is no rule that they have to be around for every event in your life.

I’m glad she’s taking that step in her life to move forward and away from such “bad influences”.

Childish – Typo

’bout time!!!

i’m so happy keisha moved on she’s to classy to be letting them get her down love you keisha and happy your happy

this was bound to happen. some of the foolishness that nef and frank were trying to pull on keyshia was a drain. i hated with frank would want to confront Keyshia’s adopted mother. This woman raised and cared for keyshia. you were angry frank b/c someone else would protect keyshia from you abusive ways. Keyshia i have always loved you and this just proves why. uplift yourself.

Wasn’t she the one that created the monster by putting them on TV? And didn’t she exploit their crazy ways even further by executive producing a show for Frankie and Neffee? They increased her fame slightly if you ask me and now she wants to take the high road? I agree with her decision but she needs to see her fault in their mess as well.

I’m glad she let go. No one needs all the drama those two brought ever single day! that’s enough to drive a person to drink..dang!

I’M PROUD OF HER SHE HAVE BROUGHT HER FAMILY A LONG WAY AND SHE HER JOB SO SHE MUST MOVE ON AND LIVE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY LIFE MUCH LOVE KEY!

I don’t think you should give up on your family. They experienced some problems from jump and it’s not really Frankie fault. She got mixed up in the new 80′s drug epidemic and it reflected on to her children. God has put you in a position where you can stick by them and try. I know you did. I don’t think you should give up on your mamma. You have been too blessed. You never give up. Good luck with every thing else in my opinion it could and would have worked out. When that man is gone who are you going to need neffe lol

Can’t blame her. They were so embarassing. I was embarassed for her.

GOOD FOR U! MAY YOU AND YOUR NEW FAMILY BLESSED!IT REALYY GOES TO SHOW YOU MAY GROW UP WITH CRAZY PARENTS BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO STAY!!!!!!!!

Let me change my alias since sumbody wants to jock my swag…But dang Keysha you left your family.

KEYSHIA, GIRL!!!! I AM NOT MAD AT YOU. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. YOU GREW FROM SUCH MESSED UP BEGINNING AND SHOW SO MANY OTHERS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE. MAY GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY BUT MAY HE ALSO CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AS WELL.

@Logically SPeaking
Cosign %100

Keyshia and Daniel are being excellant parents right now. Breaking the cycle whether you have to ditch your family or not is more important than trying to get them two bird brains straight. You can only help someone for so long then you have to let go. God only helps those that help themselves.

I am so glad that she realized that she needed to drop that *dead weight* that was dragging her down.

Yes! Someone in the entertainment industry knows how to put they foot down! I respect you Keisha! It’s hard to let go, but when your fam is biting the hand that feeds them it is time to let go and LET GOD deal with them…

NEffe and Franky and pooky and June Bug ghetto asses…!

She is ending the cycle. May God Bless her and her baby and soon to be husband.

Very nice statement. But u kno the ghetto rats still gon’ be mad @ her for trying to be happy and positive and rising above the buffoonery.

smart move i think they were mooching off of her anyways….good for you keyshia

so u have a new man and now bye bye family?thats bullshit…and i didnt even like neffe.

My girl Keyshia went far and beyond what anyone should do for her family. They could’ve taken what she brought and turn things around. People can change for the better if they want to or stay in the same ole stink until it drags you down forever. She’s right btw, and can’t have that type of nonsense around any new born or when life brings you a new path.

keisha, you have found yourself. you have helped your mother and family members. you have
to move on and take care of yourself. i am going through that now with my mother who did
not raise me, they expect so much from you, the bible says to honor thy parents, but don’t
be a fool for someone who was not there for you. i wish you the best.

VERY MATURE OF HER & COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE, THOSE PPL AREN’T EVEN HEALTHY FOR CABLE NETWORK ……..PERIOD!!!!

Sometimes to best way to help people is to let them go and let God handle it. I admire the fact that she attempted to help her loved ones. But, people have to want to help themselves and beyond the financial support they received from Keisha; I haven’t seen or heard about any significant changes in the way the sisters and the biological mother choose to live life.

Keisha is not responsible for these folks – they are grown a… women!

I totally agree with Keisha. Neffe, and especially Frankie, are too grown to act the way they do. They are those embarrassing relatives nobody wants to see at family reunions who come in arguing and leave arguing. Between Neffe’s constant crying and bringing up things from the past to Frankie just acting like she’s still cracked out, it was time for Keisha to move on without them.

You can only do but so much to help people. Now it’s up to Frankie, Neffe and this other attention-starved sister to get their own lives in order.

You did the right thing baby girl. I just have the utmost respect for you. We all saw you help them, and put them on. We all saw how thanks to you, they are living, and we know how hard and how stressful it’s been on you to try to help a family that keeps a bunch of drama going no mater how much you do for them. How much they want to live in the past, and enough is enough. Congrats on the new baby, and marriage. I know the new CD will slam, just as all of the others have, and it’s all good Keyshia. We love you, to hell with Neffe n nem!!!

Time to write a book, Keisha. When you’re done, pass it on to Fantasia.

@ME — I agree with you.

Smart Move, sometimes you have to put your foot down and say Enough is Enough.

Good for her. Sounds like she is maturing her family were dead weight about time she dropped them. Negative energy is REAL and thats all they were. Who wants a negative aura around them all the time? Not healthy.

@Latrina

We have no idea what ths woman has really gone through for the sake of her family. We saw from the show that even though Keyshia was adopted by a loving family, she still reached out to care for her family. Moved all those people, to the ATL took care of all those people cause I doubt that Frankie or Neffee bought their own homes seen on the show and yet they still acted the fool nost of the time.

You can’t choose your family but when they start to bring you down pocket wise and spirit wise you have to let it go or you end up as crazy and dysfuntional as them.

Peace of mind is an amazing thing, all the best to Keyshia and her new family!

I dont know about this one……..I know Keysha has been through a lot but this is still her family.I dont know it just seems to me that she’s replacing her family with her new man and baby.What happens if he walks away?What about her innocent nieces and nephews….they didnt do anything wrong.I understand her limiting her contact with her family(like visiting them for an half of an hour every three weeks)but completely cutting them off is just wrong.Im sure she will find a happy medium and I wish her well.

@ME
I agree with you I dont know what the h e l l she was thinking when she gave them fools a second season…..she is a part of the problem too.

Love you girl. Keep your head up….Nah need no stress…stay focused on you and your new family!

Ok. I like Keysha, but what bothers me is that she is the one that put her dysfunctional family on t.v. and gave them a platform to show the world who they were…she knew what her family was like, hell she did the show two years and nothing changed……now she is trying to distance herself from it, which is cool but…that is so hypocrytical(sp) to me.

Well, sometimes even fanily has to be moved around in your life. Hell, sometimes family are worse than enemies.

Key doesn’t owe them anything. And to those saying..”oh your family will be there when your man is gone”. Well her mother left her and probably would have stayed gone if Key hadn’t become famous. So what does that say? They owe her and if Daniel ever leaves her then they should be the first there to support her because she’s done so much for them already.

I thought she had already dealt with them too long already. Funny how babies bring families together and I have no doubt it will happen in Keyshia’s case. She will want her new baby to know ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL his/her cousins. Hopefully Neffie and Frankie can get it together at some point but I don’t blame Keyshia for keeping them out of her life during this time (her pregnancy). Glad she is getting married.

@KimC

Its not hypocritical in the least. Yes she put them on her show, because it was her show about her journey, but I guarantee that she did the follow up seasons to help them out, they got paid for those shows, and frankly what marketable skills do Frankie, Nefee or Elite have???

@Judy

You forget her biological family is DYSFUNCTIONAL & full of drama. Its not about leaving her family for a man & a baby, she is more than likely looking for peace, at a time in her life when that is all important. What value are they adding to her existence right now? What rule says because you made something of yourself says you have to carry your whole family and their families, come on now, its not like she left them hangin? From the show we see that she helped them out now an this juncture of her life she must think for herself and the health of her pregnancy & her new fiance, she is entitled to that!

I just wish she would’ve cut all ties with her family before that mess made it to t.v. But good for her…getting knocked up by a NBA player isn’t exactly the best way to have peace either by to each his own.

She needs to close the door and NEVER open it! My family is drama. They’ll never change! I’ve tried several times to reconcile and you can’t change people. I decided to just pray for them and love them at a distance. But I cannot be bothered with their dysfunctional azzzzesss.

It’s not Keyshia’s responsiblity to take care of her family for life. Frankie dropped her off at her friend’s house and went straight back to the crack house. Keyshia does not owe her anything. Her nieces and nephews, Neffie would use to manipulate Keyshia. She’s already started by releasing information that Keyshia didn’t buy her kids anything for Xmas. Bi#$@ you are a grown ass, triflin’ woman. You need to buy your own dammmmmm kids presents. Keyshia bought your broke monkey lookin’ self a freaking house. Set you guys up with a reality show and really gave you the opportunity to do better. Both you and Frankie FAILED!

BET has been exploiting black women for decades. So, of course they are gonna continue to exploit Frankie and Neffie. These two are an embarrassment to black women.

Keyshia did her best to pull her family up with her. She gave them a place to live. Helped buy a house (that she really couldn’t afford). They got their own TV show ONLY…and I do mean ONLY…because they are related to Keyshia. Neffe got a book deal. Frankie has been given several opportunities to speak, radio co-host.

Ultimately, NOBODY ELSE is responsible for YOU. Period. If Frankie and Neffe and Elite are unhappy, that’s on them. They need to look at the choices they have made in their lives. Keyshia can’t carry everybody. That’s not fair.

I relly don’t blame Keisha for moving on and away from her mother and sister. They seem to have no respect for the fact that Keisha is famous and that their actions are a distraction. Keisha honey, you have only one life to live. Get your baby and man away from that hood nonsense of a family. I wouldn’t want to raise my kids in the mist of that messed up Frankie either.

That was very well put. She gave just enough to squash the rumors but not enough to cause any real damage. I’m very happy that Keyshia is moving forward with her life in a positive way. She loves her family but sometimes loving people is allowing them to live their lives and you go on & live yours. Anyway, congrats Keyshia on your engagement, 1st baby and the highly anticipated new album!!

That’s great Keyshia – sometimes your family is your worst enemy. True, you can’t get rid of them but you can definitely pick and choose the moments (if any) that you spend time with them.

When Keyshia started her show it was really geared towards her fans and her music.

Money being made by the network evolved it into her reconnecting with her family and getting them all into counseling.

Frankie and Neffe’s GREED and exposure evolved it into FOOLISHNESS!

Stay strong Keyshia – I love my family deeply but I had to break away to keep my sanity and my children from embracing their foolishness – like I said – they can sometimes be your WORST ENEMY.

I understand that K feels like enough is enough with her family, but I agree with a few posters above, one who stated, that it was K’s idea to put her Family in the limelight, maybe that was not a good idea. If anything, that show did grow K’s popularity in a huge way, so she owes homage to her family whether she thinks so or not.

Also, with the condition her family was in, maybe they were not mentally and emotionally ready for camera’s- K obviously was and didnt care if she was bringing her family for the ride prematurely and/or regardless of the consequences.

I think K-Cole is on a bit of a high horse if you ask me, and I hope it does not come all crashing down for her and smack her in the face. Yes, distance yourself from your family if you absolutely have to, but to cut them off because you have a new man, and a little more class and money???

K.COLE- That is not a good idea. Dont let that money, fame, and so-called “fiance” fool you. Like an earlier poster said, When/if it does come crashing down, you will you need your loved ones to support you. Blood is thicker then water-regardless.

I wish you the best and congrads on the new baby!! Be smart and stay humble!!!

@bahamas/chicago/cayman girl

I like keshya and I wish her well im just not sure if cuttting off her family is the right answer cause nobody is perfect…..maybe she should limit the relationship or redefine it.I can understand her taking a temporary break from her family because thats what she needs I was just hoping maybe they could work it out is all.

Key word in her statment: PEACE!

This shows that KC “get’s it” and will make a man happy.

A woman who knows the importance of having, maintaining, and respecting the PEACE of a home is a bonafied KEEPER!

The family that raised her did a very good job, she’s very smart. Plus the fact that clearly she shows that she still loves her mom and sisters only speaks more to her growth and maturity. Boobie did good in getting with her…

Dear Keisha,

I am so proud of you. You have a big heart to have tried to put your family back together, but you cant take care of grown ignorant people. You are a strong person that I admire and hope the very best for. Your fans are happy that you let the negativity in your life go and we look forward to the new album. Luv ya!!!

PS I expect no better from Frankie and Neffe because they dont know any better. They are truly the most ghetto, ignorant, losers I have ever seen. I cant believe they are related to you.

You gotta do, what you gotta do. My family is pure psycho….I did my best to get away from them because they are just like Frankie and Neffe with their ghetto-fabulous mentality.

For those who say don’t leave your family – you try living 24/7/365 with people who NEVER stop creating negative drama and energy.

I too am done with my family. I wish them well, but please leave me the (insert four-letter word here) alone.

COME UP U R 200% RIGHT!!!!

As a older Person, I totally agree with what she had to do. They have more because of her. She gave them a chance, and even with the spiritual meetings, they wouldn’t break? It’s said that you can lead the horse to water, but you can’t make them drink. Well, KC Built the lake, put water in the lake, and gave them the opportunities that no one would’ve given them. Hell Frankie couldn’t even get a loose C at the Arab Store on any corner on any City in this Country! Hopefully, there was some serious financial planning for them with the monies they made on their own. Keisha didn’t have to do that!!!! She’s made her well for them. Time to move on!

Her statement truly shows she has really grown past the antic’s her family continues to display. I have to commend her on her effort to try and make change for those she felt she couldn’t leave behind due to her success. Sounds like she has a good man and friend by her side (love Monica). As much as we the public was amused by the show KC is smart enough to know when enough is enough. Maybe in time they can once again come together on a quiet note.

Wait a minute is she mad at Mannie too? I noticed his name wasn’t mentioned…

Too many people carry on the baggage of dysfunctional relationships with family members. In black communities we believe strongly that we should band together no mater what, and stay together no matter what.
We will let one crack head infect and destroy entire families, rather than abandon the infected and move on.
It is great that she has the strength, the courage, and common sense to realize that she is not obligated to anyone. That all that old extra baggage is not healthy.
I wish her the best.

I don’t blame her, smart girl. And plus she doesn’t want to loose her fiance over that family drama.
I can hear Frankie now, “what you think you better than us now?”

homegirl said from jump (on her own show) that she wanted to get married and have a family and rise above the foolishness…guess neffie & frankie didn’t take her seriously.

go ‘head, Keyshia! clear your space and create a peaceful and calm home for your baby. BREAK the cycle, don’t continue it. you can love your family, but a mother puts baby FIRST. y’all know mama bears don’t play, LOL!

I feel your pain, Keyshia. It’s hard for me to believe you even came out of Frankie and are related in any way to Neffe. You have a totally different demeanor and aura about you that on the outside doesn’t match the DNA trait.

Have to say it and many of us know this, your is just plain raw! I know that their show is scripted and even if it wasn’t they’re still RAW! Frankie, Neffe and other characters are straight up ghetto folks who probably don’t realize it but you’re keeping the stereotypes alive and well and make producers and advertisers of this crap richer.

[Correction Applied] I feel your pain, Keyshia. It’s hard for me to believe you even came out of Frankie and are related in any way to Neffe. You have a totally different demeanor and aura about you that on the outside doesn’t match the DNA trait.

One thing i could say is regardless of what she says that is her mother and sisters and nothing can change that

OMG black folk got issues.Only a few folk (Kim C and Me) even spoke about the fact that she used her family. I feel like she used them to gain street cred and now that she has it she does’nt support them in getting what they need. Bull**t. She’ll get what’s coming to her. Frankie grow up….. and sisters make a way for your babies without making your selves look like fools.

I am so proud of Keyshia Coles because she did her best to help people who have not done much to help themselves.

Sorry, but your mom and sister are “moochers” looking for the easy way out of their situations.

Look ahead, don’t look back cause Keyshia brighter days are ahead of you. New baby, new marriage it doesn’t get any better!!!!

Live your life….

You go Keisha, stay true to your child and fiance, you have to live your own life and make a way for your child, stay strong girl.Do what you gotta do.

I bought her first album ,but when i saw the show I refused to buy the nest one becaue of her ignorant fmily. Now that she has cut the dead weight, I am goign to buy everything that she has ever released!! Good for you Keisha I love you too boo

Keyshia i love u and the woman u have grown to be. I am a young woman going threw the same thing with family always putting people first. The ones you love and go the hardest for dnt appreciate it and its only so much u can do. IM LOVING THE NEW YOU AND ITS INSPIRING TO ME BECAUSE I FEEL YOU AND KNOW WHERE YOU COMING FROM. SO CONTINUE DOIN U , U TRIED SO NOW ITS IN THE LORD HANDS, CONGRATS ON THE NEW LIFE AND I WISH THE LOVE AND HAPPINESS .. U TRULY DESERVE IT

THATS FINE SHE WANTS TO CUT THEM OFF BUT THEM KIDS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ALL THAT AND NOT GIVING NOTHING FOR CHRISTMAS IS SO WRONG. CAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY NO MATTER HOW CRAZY THEY ARE FAMILY IS FAMILY. AND TI GET MONCIA KIDS SOMETHING AND NOT HER BLOOD NIECE’S AND NEPHEW”S NOTHING CAUSE OF HOW SHE FEEL FOR THEM IS WRONG

FINALLY SHE CUT DEM OFF DEY WAS ONLY USING HER…I LOE KC ND WISH U NOTHIN BUT DA BEST

i hope that she is just distancing herself from the negative energy and not completely cutting them off that would defeat the purpose of the counseling they took together and her nieces and nephews need to be able to meet their cousin at the end off the day thats still your family and it aint like you didnt know they were crazy b4 u became famous and put them on your show and neffe never wanted to take money from keyshia that was the whole reason she got the job with the tollway and wrote a book and got her on show and frankie is crazy but she trying to be independent with the show and radio and appearances i love keyshia i pray shes not going hollywood and forgeting where she came from after all god didnt give up on her and look how succesfully she is whos 2 say he wont do the same for her family

UMM WHY IS ACTING LIKE AN ANGEL SHE GHETTO HER DAMN SELF…LMAO!!

good she can recognize when to move forward!

@ Those blaming KC for her family’s drama—-Was she wrong in helping them to make money? That is what she did by putting them on tv. In the 2nd season of her show we saw them trying to make changes for the better. Previous reports stated that The Frankie and Neffee show almost didn’t make it to tv, b/c KC had problems w/ how some things were going to be betrayed, but contractually she had already agreed to it. KC probably got tired of waiting on these other GROWN women to grow the hell up. I don’t blame her for finding peace, with or without a man.

Change betrayed to portrayed.

I really don’t think this is a good idea, hell I have a dysfunctional family as well, but at the end of the day family is family and nobody is going to love you more tha your own mother I don’t care what nobody say. Yeah they may be ghetto and she needs to focus on her family, but cutting them completly off is wrong. Her child is going to need and want their grandmother in their life, hell my grandma curses all of her grandkids and children out and kicks us out smokes that o wee and is an alchohalic but I still love her, She needs to still connect with them, because that’s her blood

I do understand that she needs to do whats best for her but at the sametime thats your family. Dont get your nose to high in the air wit yo man cuz they go just as fast as they come. You’ll endup with nobody to turn to. Remeber to always keep it real with yourself! Aint nothing change they have been that way all her life, just back off but not to far away!!! As the old people say feed them with a long handle spoon!!!

I understand your decision. Sometimes your family are the people you have to free yourself from…Just continue to pray for them. But you do what’s best for your life.

Keisha!! Girl Move on, somtimes you got to leave some people behind, all i can say is you tried your best.

@fashionelites- I disagree with you. Sometimes you have to turn people over to God and let Him deal with them. She probably did everything in her own power and strength to have a healthy relationship with her family but it just wasn’t working out. So you go ahead and chill with your own dysfunctional family if that works for YOU. It does not, however, work for her.

pretty sad. mom and sis c o o n i n it up for TV and Hollyweird splits families.. SMDH

yes, kcole did put her family on blast but what celeb has not told their story. thats what makes fans interested — and when we see them and we know what they have been through we have a sense of respect. So kcoles, just like you can’t take money, fame and material things to the grave you also can’t take your family.

@noladebby

If im correct i see you are from New orleans and so am I, so you should know about a crazy family, if your not my bad. But we can agree to disagree but at the end of the day that’s her family, she doesn’t have to see them everyday or talk to them every hour or even give them money but I don’t believe her cutting them completely off is cool. Yea sometimes you need to leave it up to GOD but that should be with every decision, but I don’t think GOD would ever want anyone to abondon their family, he still loves us no matter what we do in our lives, he died for our sins, and he stands by me and I sin every day. All I’m saying is Keysha still needs to have some type of relationship with them even if it isn’t the best one

It’s a big step to make this decision. But something is pulling me to say, you should be distant but don’t cut completely off. Some families you have to handle them with a long handled spoon, and you have to just deal with it. Don’t cut them off completely. Drama, hey keep it away, but mark my words, you will one day need your family for something. Um, not sure I agree 100% with this decision, but it’s not my opinion that matters with this. Be careful KC, Love ya, but be careful!

This whole kieshia cole thing is pretty normal in the black community.I think the only thing keishia can do to possible stay sane is give here mom and sisters a little space.Like 180 mile worth,it was the only thing that worked for me.

i wanted to say SPACE.

you all this machine want let me say space.

distance

do u kc

This post has nothing to do with Keyshia or anyone else on this blog but is far more important than that. Please go to this website and sign this petition for Mitrice Richardson so the FBI will get involved in helping find this young woman. It takes no time at all. Please do it for her. Here’s the site:

@ GotYou-

I was going to leave my comment, but you’ve stated everything I wanted to say (and so much better…lol).

I have so much respect for KC…all I got to say is: it’s about damn time…they were bringing her down big time!!

Know that only you can make the necessary changes in your life. It does not mean you don’t love your family. It just means that you need to love them from a distance. You can have the best intentions for your family, but they can help you and they can hurt you.

BRAVO! I AM SOOOO PROUD OF MS KEYSHIA COLE! I AM A FAN AND I LOVE WHAT AND WHO SHE IS. NEFEE AND FRANKIE HAD ME STRESSED THE HELL OUT AND I AM NOT RELATED TO THEM NOR DO I KNOW THEM. THEY ARE USERES WHO NEVER GET ENOUGH. I MEAN SHE INTRODUCED THEM TO THE WORLD TO ALLOW THEM TO EXCEL AND MOVE FORWARD. SHE HELPED THEM OUT WHEN THEY WERE BUMS..IT WAS NEVER ENOUGH, THEY WERE NOT IN HER LIFE UNTIL LATE.E IS 28 AND LIKE SHE SAID…ENOUGHT IS ENOUGH…FRANKIE DIDN’T EVEN RAISE KEY AND SHE WASNY RAISED WITH NEFEE INSANE CRYING ALL THE TIME ASS…..GOOD FOR KEY AND BOOBIE…THEY WILL BE BLESSED!

i hope she doesnt stop seeing her sisters kids, because the really looked up to her…kids remember that stuff…anywho all i can say is… you dont have s h i t, if u dont have family!

It’s about time that Keisha left those losers alone. She got them on their feet and they still a mess –now it’s time for them to fend for themselves. Let their men take care of them. Bravo Keisha!!!

P.S.
Just b’cuz they’re family means nothing… sometimes even your family ain’t sh!t.

I’m kinda torn in my thoughts about this because Keyshia knew what her family was about
and to tell you the truth as crazy as they were her show would of been boring without all the drama so yes i’m saying they made her show. You can’t tell me that we all have not experienced this with family members at some point so although i wish her the best and understand where she’s coming from, life is to short and i feel like you just don’t cut your family out when they are not living up to your expectations, your child is going to miss out playing with all your nieces and nephews drugs have damaged alot of families keyshia and acting like they don’t exist is not going to make the problem go away. Never give up on family!!!!

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to allow people to go.

Girl I feel ya…I had to do the same thing with my mama a couple of months ago. I’m moving forward and she’s still…I don’t know. But I can’t deal with the non-stop drama, I’m having a baby too.

What don’t kill you can only make you stronger!! I always thought how much you wanted and tried to break that cycle keyshia. It’s like a witch riding your back. But family can be your worst enemy you may have their best interest @ heart but that doesn’t always means that they will have yours and just because you choose to move on I hope that they understand it doesn’t mean that you don’t love them! To me you’ve always seemed like a giving person but sometimes no matter how much you shower a person with all that you have still make want more. And to Frankie And Neffe you guys are grown please keep ya family matters to ya self and not the public.. And you should have at least learn something from that counselor that keyshia was sending you two to. Get it together life is too short God Bless

You are a class act Ms. Cole. I pray for every blessing imaginable in your life… and may the Peace of God that surpasses all understanding be ur portion!!! God bless you that baby & your spouse!!!

I know it’s hard to turn away from your own family, but sometime after looking deep in your heart you realize the drama in your life is coming from your relatives, it’s what you have to do. You have to protect yourself, that is your job and ultimate responsibility and no one elses. Go Keisha, get your heal on – and your sanity on! Congrats to everything…

Sometimes you have to do what’s best for you and letting go i know won’t be easy. Am pround of her for taking the first step in her life with her soon to be husband and new baby.God Bless

I am so glad that she has cut her family off. Frankie is too old to be acting like a 20 year old. I hear her on the radio and she sounds so silly. Neffie and Elite was just in it for the money and fame. Keisha you do what you have to do to make yourself happy. I support you 100% with your decision. May God bless you and Daniel and the new one to come. And also Congradulations on your up coming wedding.

Go head, Keyshia. I got your back too!!

Who is that fine piece in your photo?

Good for you Keisha,You have found a man that loves you for you and wanted to wife you and have a baby by you Unlike young jeezy,but dont forget were you come from and thats still your birth mother regardless of what, your family was there for you mentally when you didnt have a baby or a spouse and was making your last album.so dont take what youve been blessed with and let it get takin away from you for being wordly like every one else there is a such thing as a long handle spoon,don’t let what the public think drive you away from your family.”whats understood shouldnt have to be explained”You didny owe the public an explanation.The sme shout out that you gave to Monica should have been Given to God.Thats who know your situation best and has brought you along way…By the way why do you keep rushing into these relationships like youre desperate to Stay on top?

========================

What planet have you been on? Keyshia’s ‘birth’ mom had no parts in raising her nor any of the other 7 siblings because she was on drugs and prostituting. Yvonne Cole (a family friend) and her husband have raised Keshia since she was 2 and abandoned. Keyshia is JUST NOW beginning to FIND her siblings as the only one she knew was Neffe who was raised by a grandmother.

Keyshia owes them NOTHING! No one in the birth family was there for her until she made it big. Get your facts right. Just because someone is your blood relative doesn’t make them automatically fine to exist in your world. She tried to help Frankie / Neffe and they paid her back by acting Azzes! Time for her to move to the left – the cycle must be broken!

To all you people on here defending Neffie and Frankie, can you please stop for a moment and just think about how this negative image of black women on NATIONAL TV is making us look? Do we need all this negative drama on TV? Why do you think they want it televised? Its an IMAGE PEOPLE and maybe when somebody is thinking about HIRING YOU FOR A JOB they will think about Frankie and Neffie instead of the COSBY SHOW! THAT IS THE POINT! I get KC and she is better than me, because I would not have done all that for a mother that had abandoned me in the FIRST DAMN PLACE. She bought them a HOUSE and you are still saying she should buy them Xmas presents. DAMN! Give the woman a break, she works for her check and she can spend it any way she wants. It is typical GHETTO MENTALITY for them to even EXPECT her to give them anything else. That is what is wrong with black folks, they always think somebody owes them something and they always try to use people in their family. You know I’m right. I got some of the same kind in my family and believe me, they are at a DISTANCE. You can’t even go visit them without them asking you for something. I’m speaking from experience. Her mother is in the club wrapping her legs around young men and grabbing the pole, would you send her anything if that was your mother? And her sister is having different babies with different men. This is what WHITE AMERICA sees and you should be trying to get this GHETTO SHOW OFF THE AIR. GO KC, LEAVE THEM IN THE DUST.

BOTTOM LINE SINCE SHE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF HER NEW MAN SHE WONT HAVE ANY CHEDDAR,FOR FRANKIE TO SPARK THAT CRACK PIPE,DURING COMMERCIAL OF THEIR BOOFONERY SHOW THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CANCELED AS SOON AS IT STARTED

I figured as much and I don’t blame you. Glad you have the strength to do you, be you and be happy. Enough is enough of the bullshyt.

Much love to Keyshia. I’m happy for her, and I admire her strength.

THATS WHY I LOVE KEYSHIA SOOOOOOOOO MUCH.

DO WHAT YOU DO KC.

Frankie and Neffe are GHETTO TRASH!!!!!

What a sad situation. Yes you should never give up on family but you should let go of the actions that enable dysfunction and self detriment. Keyshia needs to do what’s best for herself and her health and if cutting communication is at this time what is best then by all means. Frankie, Neffie and Co should want to do better, be better and actively seek help instead of b*tchin’ about what they are no longer getting from Keyshia.

Keep Fantasia Otta This – is that you Fantasia? LOL

Good!! b/c honestly her mom and sis are Nucking Futs!!!

I’m happy for keisha.

She’s becoming a mother and wife. She’s trying to build her own family.

Keisha helped Frankie, Neffe and Elite by putting them in the public eye and to earn a living. She put in all the work to put her where she is.

I hated how Frankie treated Ms. Cole. This woman didn’t have to take in your child while your out there on drugs and prostituting but she did and you have the nerve to disrespect her.

Neffe and Elite need to work on their own lives and stop trying to bring Keisha down with them.

Sometimes you gotta cut folks loose when all they do is bring negativity to your life when your trying to be positive especially when your about to be a mother and a wife.

Its really sad to me how so many of these posts are our people advising Keyshia to cut her family off. This is why the black community has the most broken homes and families than any other race. Walking away would be the easiest thing, but is it the best thing??

To those that say that Keisha will need her family when her man leaves or career nosedives, um, no she won’t. Those nieces/nephews are the responsibility of the PARENTS who brought them into this world NOT Keisha.

So what she didn’t buy them Christmas presents. It’s not her job and it’s not like Neffe doesn’t have money to buy her ten kids nuthin. I’m quite sure her stay having baby arse bought them something. Man, sometimes (more often than not) family ain’t *ish. Good luck to KC and her new piece of mind.

I think Kiesha made the right choice with Frankie but not Neffe. Neffe comes from a long line of dysfunction from both her mother and her father. According to their story, Neffe is the only child that actully witnessed her mother’s mess of a life first hand. For this reason, she too is a victim. That kind of stuff doesn’t change over night. Having all of those babies is proof of her instability. It took her yrs to get that way and it will take yrs to change. Neffe seems to have a strong need for family and unfortunately, she’s still playing into the same cycle of chasing her mother in an attempt to save her. Not realizing that Frankie needs to save herself. Neffe left California for a better life for herself and her children and being that she really doesn’t have the necessary skills to sustain herself and her children, she is using the reality show so Kiesha shouldn’t knock her for that…Neffe needs her own show to show her efforts to become a better person and a better mother. God bless Keisha, her fiance and her their new baby…

GO HEAD ON KEYSHIA GROWING UP BEING A BIG GIRL!!!!!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE ILY KC

wow..Cole Brown…made some great points..something to think about

The truth of the matter is thats still your family

Don’t be fooled just publicity for the next season. AND BTW cutting off funding is one thing. Communication is quite another. She will regret losing family when they are truly gone. We all have family problems but to cut people out of your life is extreme. Frankie is obnoxious but Keyshia needs to realize that were she not the reality show would not have popped off the way it did and Keyshia would not be as successful.

i’m glad that she is taking a stand to end all as others have said “negative energy”. one thing that i hope doesn’t happen is IF and WHEN frankie and neffe comes back with the second season of their show, they don’t try to bash keyshia. i don’t know, with frankie, you just ever know.

I agree that she shouldn’t have opened up the can of worms with Frankie and Neffe with the tv show. Her family is ghetto as heck. But I am having a hard time feeling bad for Keyshia because it seemed convenient at the time to exploit her family to advance her own career. It always looked very interesting that every time a new season of her show started, she just so happen to be releasing a new album. I think she just used her family to get ahead and now the family don’t seem to fit into her new “publicity stunt.”

Peace of mind is hard to find, and not to mention that they are total morons…

I am so happy she has found peace and serenity in her life. You shouldn’t let anyone drag you down Family or not. May God Bless Keyisha and the journey in life she is about to take!

i am happy and sorry at the same time for her. happy that she is moving on because frankie and neffie are like canker sores to her life. and also sorry for that very same reason….i wish her a happy life and healthy baby

Keyshia had no choice but to let her fam go they didn’t love her. they just wanted to use her and Neffie was so jealous of keyshia it was obvious on the show.

@chaka 1..girl, I wish I could say that that was my man, but that is Nelly! LOL

I cannot say I blame her. She is making the right move. Buena Suerte!!! I wish you all the luck in the world and I hope your man is good for you. You need serenity to make your new family work.

I ain’t mad at her

it’s never right to talk about others families. but, i agree with you keyshia. you have a ‘blessed’ voice – please keep taking care of yourself. you have given your family a host of things — now, its your time to spread your wings and fly.

take off keyshia….stay strong…can’t wait for your next cd.

i’m so proud of you.

Keyshia’s right. Her biological family are energy vampires. God tells you to cut the negative out of your life, and that doesn’t mean rid them, or stop loving them. But, sometimes you have to cut ties until they realize themselves, that things MUST change. Her child and her future husband are her first priorities now. Once you’re married, your family can’t call the shots anymore, it’s between that immediate family (wife & husband). I wish her the best. And I pray that her family gets it together for the sake of their family.

I feel Keisha needs to get back to reality, not only has She cut off her Family but She has cut off her Nieces, Nephews too. Dis you not name Jaylyn we love Cole? You could easily have the children over every now and then. Her child will not have a bond with them either. Since She has met ‘Daniel’ She has def changed. My Mum has always told me to never let no Man change you. She Showed the world her Family and now as She has made her money She wants to get rid! Not very nice! I would agree that you could distance yourself from them to some extent but to totally cut them off is wrong. All that therapy She had? has not taught them nothing. With her decision if anything happens to her Family She will be very sorry, I see this happen with Famalies. I guess the next meeting is gonna be a FUNERAL! THAT IS THE REALITY!

It is only when someone dies that you meet with everyone in the Family that does not speak. How sad!

This beautiful light skinned high yellow female knows her worth and knows she does not have to associate with those low class females in her family anymore. I never understood why she even bothered with them in the first place. The chick has too much going for her and too much class – they are not even in the same category. She has beauty and brains and the best thing her mother did for her was to leave her with somebody else that was decent to raise. Otherwise, she would have been just like the rest of the HOOD RATS on her 4th or 5th baby. Bill Cosby are you listening – PLEASE BRING BACK COSBY LIKE SHOWS AND GET RID OF THESE BLACK STEPPIN FETCHIT CHARACTERS WHO KEEP HUMILIATING US ON NATIONAL TV.

way to go KC…Bout time girl! WHEW!!!

I LOVE Keyshia! And I’m happy for her! She TRIED to hang in there w/ her family…she really did (even tho her mother didnt even raise her!)…she still tried and she see’s that it isn’t going anywhere! That takes a lot…I LOVE Keyshia and I respect her for doing whats best for her and the family she’s creating

Let’s get this straight. KC did not say she was dropping her family. She just does not need to be involved in their daily lives and vice versa. KC never took advantage of her family. She started the show to help her career and share her life with the fans. She brought her family into the spotlight with her. And that is more than what most people have done. When her family proved to be entertaining she got them their own show. Taking all the risks career wise and financially. The only reason there is any kind of relationship between them is because she has worked hard to make one. KC is pregnant!! She has more than enough stress in her life already and she does not need her dramatic and problematic family making things worse. She has to think about staying as stress free as possible for the health of her unborn child. Plus a relationship is hard enough without having family telling the media any and all info they can get theirs hands on. And lying about things they do not know about. She tried for so long to make the relationship work because once she stops there is no relationship. That’s what happens when only one side truly cares about the other. She does not need them trying their best to ruin the life of the family she has created. She will always be there for her family but needs to take this time to give her own family a good start.

Too many are posting negatively because all you see is KC dropping her family for some guy. The reality is KC has been trying to keep her family from dropping out of her life for the longest time. Now she has decided to stop preventing them from dropping her. If they truly love her they will make an effort to be a positive force in her life instead of a negative one.

@ MIA.

You may want to read between the lines a bit and get off the “changing for a man trip”. When you find the right person it makes you want to do better for yourself. People tend to put up with a lot (accepting unhealthy relationships) until someone comes and gives them the support they need to standup for themselves. Sometimes family rolls over you until you demand their respect. I had a similar situation with my wife and her family. Their relationship revolved around talking down to her and not giving her the proper respect and consideration she was due. I was upset with the situation but just supported her and let her know she deserved better. She eventually stood up to her family. They did not like it at first but eventually they came around to respect her better and their relationship is healthier now.

Can you imagine KC’s new family’s life with every bit of information in the news every week. Her family publicly commenting on every aspect of her relationship. Selling false stories to the news. Doing whatever they can to knock her down, which was exactly what we saw from them when the show started. Maybe she is getting enough love and support that she feels a need to draw a line in the sand. Maybe she does not want things to be the way they are when her child is brought into the world. For whatever reason, now she has the strength to stand up and let her family know that they cannot treat her the way they have. We all know she loves them but maybe it is time for them to show that they truly love her. Whether or not the relationship with her man lasts, the relationship with her family needs to change for the better. Unfortunately they seem to be the type that are thick headed and need tough love.

This is one instance where I actually feel like I can relate to a celebrities family drama. My family gave me drama from the time my now husband and I started to date up until I got pregnant with our first child after we were married for 2 years. They constantly tried to be in me and my usband’s business an I’ve had to check them several times and let them know that they were not ging to be up in my marriage and my marital affairs. When I found out I was pregnant – which was something I wanted more than anything in the world – I cut my family loose.

Having a healthy, happy and PEACEFUL pregnancy was more important to me and my husband than anything else. I couldn’t allow my family or anyone else for that matter continue to stress me out and I refused to let their issues become my issues. My family thought they could run me over because I was 20 when I got married and my husband was 21. I was 23 when I had my first child. HOWEVER I was always a strong willed and mature person and I knew what I wanted and I was very realistic about marriage and family. My husband and I knew that the only thing that mattered was US and what we wanted and decided to do. It was us against the world and as long as we were on the same page to h e l l with everyone else.

This May we will be married for 16 wonderful years with 4 beatutifl children. That’s with God’s help, keeping hif FIRST in our lives, and KEEPING BUSY BODY FAMILY OUT OF OUR BUSINESS!!!!!!!

Oops, I meant “beautiFUL children” and “Keeping HIM first.”

@ the end of the day yo family is yo family sorry we dont get the options to pick and choose just be blessed with god has blessed you with and somehow they will work it out a man is but a season LAFAMILIA is FOREVER!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it was about time. Family is family but it is healthier for all concerned to take a break from each other. KC tried to bring them up, even got them their own show and… my blood boils when I think of Frankie and Nefe’s waste. So many black families go through this and Franke and Neffe waste the opportunity given them to better…nah, let me let this go.

KEEP YOU ENEMIES CLOSE WHERE THEY CAN SEE U ITS NOT UR ENEMEY THAT GETS U ITS ALWAYS UR OWN PPL-NAS

KEEP UR ENEMIES CLOSE WHERE THEY CAN SEE U ITS NOT UR ENEMEY THAT GETS U ITS ALWAYS UR OWN PPL-NAS

hey i just wonna say that i love me some kc,girl we all got crazy folks in the family.you no how black folk are we are always off the hook. i thought the show was wild.i love me some frankie yes she is out of control but to me thats what makes her what she is.she could do a show all by herself and still do the dam thang.neffe on the other hand is a crying shame,she really needs to get a hobby and stop wit the tears.but then again thats better then having another baby,lord nos she dont need no more.i hope the show comes on again.but this time give frankie a man her age who is just as much off the hook as her

Keisha, prayerfully this was for the best. You have to stay focused, be encouraged, and stay positive. You have a son now. No negative people should have to enter into your space (comfort zone). Too many of us let draining, negative and non-productive people steal our joy. Thank God for prompting you to FINALLY take a step forward in your growth and happiness by letting the foolishness go. I’ll always be a lifelong fan. Keep up the good work and give us some more STRONG and POWERFUL music.

U know I agree with the young lady family will mess up. They can be toxic, backstabbers, users, and abusers. My advice is that is your bio mom. KC you knew who she was when you went to visit her in that jail. My point is let her make the mistakes if she wishes you do what you think is right your blessings will add up because you tried to do something noble. I think in the first season the siblings should have been left out, and it should have been about just you and frankie. You hurt for them cause you love them. I agree that frankie and neffie together are toxic. Seperately I think they really want to make you happy. Remember frankie is like she is because of her past addiction. You all are hurting do not give the world the satisfaction please make up, but feed each other out of a long handle spoon You do not have to be joined at the hip. If you don’t you will never be 100 percent happy, and then it will be too late. I admire you KC but the reasons I did was because of the love you had for the family. God Bless You All!

Kiesha has made a wise decision. Her first concern is her son. she has done all she could to help frankie and neffe but they are not her responsibilty. we are talking about grown women. And i know a few of you mentioned that kiesha should have not cut off tides with mother and that what if her baby daddy leave who will she have but she has her other mom who raised her and she is the best thing that ever happened to kiesha. you cant take care of grown people all your life and you cant change people they have to want to change themselves. she has a baby so she definitely needs to focus now. i am proud of her for standing up and saying enough is enough. i am just like her i do not like to be around drama all the time and that is what frankie is about drama. neffe is okay. there are a lot of black families thats just like kiesha. crack kill steal and destroy just like satan does. kiesha i just want to say keep your head up and god bless girl and i am happy that you finally put yourself first and cut all tides from your mother.
