Keyshia Cole has revealed a surprising story about her past with Khloé Kardashian. In a resurfaced interview with Hollywood Unlocked, the singer recounted an intense yet playful moment when Kardashian chased her around a couch, allegedly wanting to fight.
Cole initially hesitated to discuss her relationship with the Kardashian family but eventually shared the unexpected memory. “I mean, I know Khloé. Like, she literally chased me around the couch one time, wanting to fight, and I was like, ‘I’m not fighting you,’” Cole said.
A Playful Fight Turns Serious
According to Cole, the situation escalated from lighthearted play-fighting. “We were all like play fighting, and then, you know, I’m the tough one,” she explained. The singer admitted that the incident occurred when she had a rougher persona, referring to herself as “the ghetto Keyshia Cole” back then.
Jason Lee, the host of Hollywood Unlocked, was stunned by Cole’s story and asked if it happened “in real life.” Cole confirmed it was a genuine moment, which added to the shock factor for fans who heard the story for the first time.
Cole also revealed that two people she would never fight are Khloé Kardashian and P!nk. She laughed while explaining her decision, noting that she believed both women had strong fighting abilities. When asked if Khloé “got hands,” Cole responded, “I think so.”
Celebrity Friends Witnessed the Incident
The couch-chasing incident took place in the presence of actress Meagan Good and Khloé’s close friend Malika Haqq. Cole said she had Good in a headlock when Khloé challenged her. “Yeah, run up on me,” Khloé reportedly said, to which Cole replied, “No.”
Fans reacted with a mix of disbelief and amusement after the story resurfaced online. One fan humorously commented, “Girl, you ran from Khloé?” while another added, “That just means Keyshia doesn’t know how to fight, and that’s okay.”
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Khloé’s fighting abilities have been mentioned. Her ex-husband, Lamar Odom, once revealed on The Bootleg Kev Podcast that she “opened up a can of whup-a**” on a stripper after finding him in a compromising situation.
Some fans speculated that Khloé’s fighting skills might come from her connection to boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard, her godfather. Leonard, an Olympic gold medalist and former world champion, reportedly shared boxing techniques with her over the years.
A Glimpse into Their Past Friendship
Cole explained that the incident happened around the time she signed her first record deal, likely in 2002. During that period, she often spent time with Khloé, Meagan Good, and Malika Haqq.
Reflecting on the experience, Cole expressed no hard feelings and described it as a playful memory from her past. The singer’s candid retelling of the story has since captivated fans, offering a rare glimpse into her life before fame.
As for Khloé, she has not commented on Cole’s story. However, her history of defending herself fiercely in the past suggests there might be some truth to Cole’s account.
