R&B singer Keyshia Cold would not be happy about former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown’s eyebrow-raising comments about their past relationship during a recent appearance on the Aunt Tea podcast.
Keyshia Cole’s romantic feelings for Antonio Brown appeared to have vanished after the NFL player chose to kiss and tell in public.
The relationship between Antonio Brown and Keyshia Cole has been a topic of speculation for some time. The two were rumored to be dating after collaborating on a music project in 2022. Keyshia, known for her soulful ballads and raw emotion, seemed to be smitten with Brown, even going so far as to get a tattoo of his initials on her lower back—a gesture that many saw as a sign of deep affection.
However, Brown never publicly acknowledged the relationship, and it became apparent that the feelings may not have been mutual.
In May 2022, Brown made headlines when he posted a video on social media with the caption, “I’m a player, baby. I’m not settling down with nobody,” which many believed was a direct message to Keyshia. The video fueled rumors of a rift between the two, and Keyshia later admitted in an interview that she was “hurt” by Brown’s actions but wished him the best.
Antonio Brown has once again sparked controversy after making disparaging remarks about singer Keyshia Cole on the Aunt Tea Podcast.
During the podcast, Brown was asked about his past relationship with Cole. The exchange began when Karlissa asked Antonio what had happened between him and Keyshia, noting that they seemed like a “cute couple.”
Brown wasted no time in distancing himself from any notion of a serious relationship, calling Cole an “older lady” and suggesting that she was interested in younger men.
“Yeah, I wasn’t trying to be booed up. You know, you older ladies, that’s what you want. You know you’re all into young boys and stuff,” he stated.
He also dismissed Cole’s claims about their relationship, implying she was lying.
Tokyo Toni, never one to shy away from a spicy comment, said, “Young boys are juicy, still fresh. But she said it was dry.” To this, Brown seemed surprised, responding, “She said that? She’s caping.”
The discussion became more serious when Tokyo asked Brown why he would “embarrass” Keyshia by downplaying their relationship online. Brown appeared surprised, asking, “Have I embarrassed her? Let me hear about how I embarrassed her.” Karlissa then reminded him of a time when he publicly denied being involved with Keyshia, despite knowing she had feelings for him—feelings so strong that she even got a tattoo in his memory.
Brown’s comments have sparked outrage from both fans and critics. Many have condemned his disrespectful treatment of Cole, who has previously expressed her love and admiration for him.
“Keyshia played herself by entertaining this ashboon,” a fan wrote.
Another commented, “He looks older than Keyshia Cole, in my opinion.”
