Keyshia Cole is moving differently these days, and the internet’s got questions about her new romance with Philadelphia rapper Skrilla.
The 44-year-old R&B legend has been quietly linking up with the 27-year-old drill artist, and their Instagram Stories have been doing all the talking for them.
Mirror selfies, club nights, boat vibes with Sade playing in the background- the whole setup screams couple energy, and fans are absolutely losing it over the pairing.
Skrilla’s the guy behind the viral “6-7” craze that took over social media, a phenomenon born from his track “Doot Doot (6 7).”

The meme became inescapable at basketball games, TikTok videos, and everywhere else people gather online.
But here’s where things get interesting: Cole’s spiritual world and Skrilla’s couldn’t be more different.
Cole’s been vocal about her Christian faith for years, describing herself as devout and evangelical Presbyterian. She’s even spoken publicly about promising God she’d stop smoking weed once she landed her record deal, and she kept that promise.
Skrilla, on the other hand, practices Santeria, an Afro-Caribbean religion that blends Yoruba traditions with Catholicism.
He’s been open about his spiritual path in interviews, discussing how he sacrifices goats, chickens, doves, and mice as part of his religious ceremonies.
The contrast between Cole’s evangelical Christianity and Skrilla’s Santeria practices has people wondering how these two even connect on a spiritual level.
It’s the kind of pairing that makes you do a double-take, especially considering Cole’s previous relationship was with 27-year-old Hunxho, which already had people talking about the age gap.
The couple’s been leaving breadcrumbs all over social media, and fans have been piecing together the puzzle. Cole posted a mirror selfie with Skrilla behind her, arms wrapped around her waist, captioning it simply “Yup.”
They’ve also been spotted together at clubs and on boats, making their connection harder to deny with each post.
Whether this is a full-blown relationship or just two people enjoying each other’s company remains to be seen.
