The Breakfast Club welcomed Keyshia Cole, who commemorated this 20-year milestone after history was made with her breakthrough record ‘The Way It Is.’ The R&B icon sat with an astrologer and laid it all on the table: reckoning of actualization, family matters, and relationships, a conversation that kept everybody talking back. Everyone seemed to be chatting about it.

You would think there has been a 20-year long journey after ‘The Way It Is,’ but time just flew by while history was being made. ‘The Way It Is’ had a sliced-up production featuring potential hit singles like ‘Love’ and ‘I Should Have Cheated’ that forcefully created a voice for Keyshia alongside many people in that generation. And maybe the comments were right: the whole shock wave of nostalgia was just perfect. An Internet user submitted an experience: “Elementary memories listening to her music,” whereas another says, “That album is a certified classic.” How true!
Now, those were the people that opted to stay in the past. Others just remain living in the present, all eyeing Keyshia and how much better than fine she looked. “Why she so fine like that?” asked an admirer, followed by a response that went straight to the point: “Tiny & stacked that goddess, man.” Ok then! Some others are not feeling the whole vibe, with one going ahead to call her an “old woman trying to be young.” A little harsh, maybe, but Keyshia has been around so long she can let the negative naysayers slide.
There were the die-hards. “Hey, Keyshia! I won’t be coming to the tour unless you promise that you’ll perform ‘We Could Be,’” demanded a fan. And you know what? I agree. That song deserves that moment. The answers to that comment were just as strong; another said, ‘Yessssss,’ and yet another one responded with ‘Girl! Classic.’ That is exactly what the people want, Keyshia!
Naturally, a Keyshia Cole discussion cannot go without…you know, drama. One commenter has praised The Breakfast Club for keeping it classy, commenting, ‘Very classy of y’all not posting THAT clip. Love her but she spoke out of turn.’ Meanwhile, another one admitted, ‘I waited the whole interview for that one diddy comment.’ The Internet never forgets, y’all.
But between all these slightly opposed reactions lies one undisputed fact: The impact by Keyshia Cole cannot be subordinated. You come for the music, for the interviews, or for her next statement, but she’s still that girl two decades later. And for those still rocking with her, tickets shall not stay on sale for long. “Got my tickets as soon as they dropped!” said an eager fan.
Raise a toast to Keyshia Cole, for she remains unapologetic, iconic, and a subject of discussion. Whether you love her or love to watch, she is here to stay. And we won’t mind a bit.
