on the show keyshia has had several dna tests done on other men who she believes are the fater but none of them ever are, and the way she talks about things it is as if she doesn’t want to believe the dude her mom says is her father is actually her father because hes white, as if theres some problem with that
whoever the father is, they made a beautiful woman in Keyshia.
