Hunxho Spills the Tea: Dating Keyshia Cole After Stunning Makeover Sparks Controversy
Hunxho has confirmed he’s in a relationship with Keyshia Cole after photos and videos of him and rapper Gloss Up caused significant drama.
The dust-up began on Friday (May 3), when Gloss Up posted raunchy photos of her and Hunxho on the set of the music video for her new single “Come Here.”
Shortly after, it appeared as if Keyshia Cole had deleted her Instagram account, but that was eventually revealed to not be the case.
Cole took to Instagram stories on Saturday (May 4) and wrote: “Him being Yo ‘sneaky link’ when you have a ‘Man you bout to marry’ is nasty work. But I wish you all the best on your project Love. I was actually rooting for the video to come out.”
The “Your Friends” rapper then shared a screenshot on Saturday (May 4) of a FaceTime between him and his girlfriend to prove their connection.
Early Sunday morning (May 5), the couple’s friend, Paris Phillips, shared a video of Hunxho with a stack of chips in Las Vegas, standing next to Cole.
Cole and Hunxho first sparked rumors that they were dating back in April after they were spotted holding hands.
The two were seen in a club in Atlanta and were also seen holding hands while leaving the establishment.
The main reactions to their apparent relationship appeared to be related to the age gap, with Cole being 18 years older than Hunxho.
One social media user said: “Keyshia Cole & Hunxho??? She’s old enough to be his mom, like 20 years older than him.”
Another commented: “Wait, Hunxho is 24???? That guy looks all of 33, lmao. Anyways, Keyshia Cole being 42 is crazy. Is it that hard to find someone that’s at least your age mate?”
It was an often echoed view, with another person saying: “I ain’t hating on Keyshia Cole, but girl, get a man your age and get away from Hunxho. I don’t care, LMFAO.”
Keyshia Cole was previously married to Cleveland Cavaliers guard Daniel Gibson before they split several times until confirming their divorce in 2020.
Cole also previously dated singer Niko Khale, who nearly died last year after being stabbed in the arm and chest.
Detailing the incident on Instagram, Khale said: “Got stabbed in my chest and my arm. My lung was punctured and collapsed. My diaphragm was also ruptured. They had to cut my stomach open and put a tube in my chest so I could breathe. By the grace of God today, I’m back on my feet and I am breathing on my own.”
Khale, who is also 14 years younger than the “Love” singer, had a child with Cole in 2019.
