Keyshia Cole Announces She Has An Upcoming Verzuz

Who do you think she'll be up against?
Keyshia Cole Announces She Has An Upcoming Verzuz
By Brooklyn White · Updated December 6, 2020

R&B singer Keyshia Cole is officially participating in a Verzuz battle! She announced that she has an upcoming match on Instagram live on December 2.

“Y’all ready for this Verzuz battle?,” she teased in the live video. She also sang a few of her classic hits. Cole did not announce who she’ll be up against.

The “I Should Have Cheated” singer has an impressive catalogue that contains fan favorites like “(I Just Want It) To Be Over,” “Shoulda Let You Go,” “Heaven Sent” and “I Remember.”

Her 2005 song “Love” rose to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #13. One of her next appearances, “(When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me” with Sean Paul, went all the way to the #3 spot and is her highest-charting single to date. Additionally, Cole’s tracks with Diddy (“Last Night”) and Missy Elliott and Lil’ Kim (“Let It Go”) hit the top 10 as well.

Article continues after video.

Cole has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music, including Nicki Minaj, Anthony Hamilton and Monica. Her first three albums, The Way It Is, Just Like You and A Different Me, have all been certified platinum in the United States, selling over one million copies a piece. Cole has been heralded as one of the queens of R&B for her success, transparency and sheer vocal talent.

Twitter fans are loving this news, and have taken to the platform to share their excitement of Cole’s forthcoming battle. “A lot of y’all are too young [to] know how dominant Keyshia Cole was on the airwaves” one user wrote. “Her music was played everywhere. Those were good times.”

Keep scrolling to see some reactions to the news of Cole’s Verzuz.

You mean to tell me The Keyshia Cole never won a BET Award ? The same awards for strictly black artists ? Like she wasn’t playing all the time in the early 2000s radio 24/7 ? Like her song Love wasn’t a culture reset in every black girl’s life ? pic.twitter.com/VHYgAWkZYe
