Keyshia Cole Ordered to Pay 160k for Blowing Off Promoter

No Mercy for Keyshia Cole. The singer appeared in New Jersey court (March 25) to face allegations that she pulled a no-show for a 2006 appearance despite being paid $15, 000 in advance.

In addition to ruling against Keyshia, the judge belittled the singer, referring to her testimony as “confused and at times nonsensical.” The judge also remarked “that it appears at times that she was not literate” when Cole hesitated to read documents during her testimony. He later realized she wasn’t illiterate when she read documents to support her case. In the end, Keyshia was ordered to pay over $160, 000 in damages.
