Keyshia Cole is an American R&B singer, songwriter, record producer, television personality, and businessperson. She is also known as Khanyisile Cele.

Her biological parents are Frankie Lons and boxing trainer Virgil Hunter. As an adult, Keyshia met Virgil, after a paternity test confirmed he was her biological father. She appeared on a reality television show which featured Frankie, who struggled with drug addiction.

Keyshia was adopted at the age of two, by Yvonne and Leon Cole, who were family friends. Her brother is Sean, also known as Nutt-So. Keyshia has a son with her former husband, professional basketball player Daniel Gibson; and a son with her former partner Niko Khale.

A 23andMe DNA test whose results Keyshia displayed on Instagram stated that her genetic ancestry is:

*46.3% Sub-Saharan African
——–*24.9% Nigerian
——–*11.9% Ghanaian, Liberian & Sierra Leonean
——–*3.2% Senegambian & Guinean
——–*2.9% Broadly West African
——–*2.8% Angolan & Congolese
——–*0.2% Southern East African
——–*0.2% Broadly Congolese & Southern East African
——–*0.2% Broadly Sub-Saharan African
*28.3% European
——–*17.8% Spanish & Portuguese
——–*5.5% British & Irish
——–*2.9% Broadly European
——–*1.1% Broadly Northwestern European
——–*0.8% Broadly Southern European
——–*0.2% Ashkenazi Jewish
*20.4% East Asian & Indigenous American
——–*19.4% Indigenous American
——–*0.2% Broadly Chinese & Southeast Asian
*4.1% Western Asian & North African
——–*2.2% North African
——–*0.6% Filipino & Austronesian
*0.9% Unassigned

The results may be of a test of Keyshia’s father, rather than Keyshia. Based on her DNA test, Keyshia is likely of both African-American and Mexican origin (family matches in Mexico), with Spanish and/or Portuguese and Indigenous descent.

Keyshia’s biological maternal grandfather was named Wilford Lons.

Keyshia’s biological maternal grandmother was named Alice E. Thomas.

    GOOD for Keyshia Cole for PUBLICLY
    ACKNOWLEDGING AND EMBRACING
    the FACT that she IS of MIXED-RACE
    / MULTI-RACIAL Lineage / Parentage !!!!!! =D
    .
    And, ANYONE who has a PROBLEM with this
    FACT regarding Keyshia’s FULL ancestry …
    can feel free to take note of the following …
    .
    The ONLY way Keyshia Cole could be “Black”
    is via the racist-‘One-Drop Rule’ (a “rule” which
    was created by racial-supremacists in order
    to degrade BLACK lineage and which was
    also banned in the United States in 1967).

    [[[This means that any BLACK person who
    supports the black-lineage degrading’ and
    racist-‘One-Drop Rule’ — either has
    no self-esteem, is insane or is an idiot.]]]
    .
    THERE IS absolutely NO SUCH THING AS A
    so-called ‘LIGHT-SKINNED BLACK’ person.
    .
    The LINKS in the SIDEBAR of my YouTube
    CHANNEL explain this in greater detail.

    More people need to realize and accept the FACT
    that THERE IS actually NO SUCH THING AS
    A so-called “LIGHT-SKINNED BLACK” person
    … but rather … such individuals and groups are
    actually people who are of a ‘Multi-Generational
    Multiracially-Mixed’ (MGM-Mixed) Lineage that
    some may have been pressured or encouraged
    to ignore or downplay — AND — even the very term
    of “Light-Skinned Black” is a racist-oxymoron that
    was created as part of the racist-‘One-Drop Rule’
    in order to degrade racially-Black ancestral-lineage.

    People of Mixed-Race lineage should NOT
    feel pressured to ‘identify’ according to
    any standards other than one’s own.

    The legal -application of the racist-‘One-Drop Rule’
    (ODR) was banned in the U.S. way back in 1967.

    Listed below are related Links of ‘the facts’ of the histories
    of various Mixed-Race populations found within the U.S.:

    There is no proof that a ‘color-based slave hierarchy’
    (or that ‘color-based social-networks’) ever existed
    as common entities — within the continental U.S.

    It was the ‘Rule of Matriliny (ROM) —
    [a.k.a. ‘The Rule of Partus’ (ROP)] — and
    NOT the racist-‘One-Drop Rule’ (ODR) —
    that was used to ‘create more enslaved
    people’ on the continental U.S.
    .
    This is because the chattel-slavery system that was
    once found on the antebellum-era, continental U.S.
    was NOT “color-based” (i.e. “racial”) — but rather
    — it was actually “mother-based” (i.e. ‘matrilineal’).

    There were many ways (and not solely the sexual assault
    and sexual exploitation of the women-of-color) in which
    ‘white’ lineage entered the familial bloodlines of
    enslaved-people found on the continental U.S.

    CORRECTION:

    Keyshia Cole is a Mixed-Race person whose
    ETHNICITIES include BOTH ‘African-American’
    AND ‘Italian’ and RACES include ‘Black’ and ‘White’.

  3. LamarteStaton says:

    I hate when people think that’s someone’s black they just automatically call them black but most of the time they do it off of skin color. No one is fully anything.

  4. Crystal S. says:

    I think Keyshia Cole is mixed up like the rest of us.
