Keyshia Cole

<p>The loss of a parent is already difficult, but <a href="/profile/KeyshiaCole" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Keyshia Cole</a> has publicly grieved the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/371592-keyshia-coles-mom-frankie-lons-dead-at-61-suffered-od-on-her-birthday-report-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">passing of both her parents</a>. The singer&#8217;s mother, Frankie Lons, reportedly died of a drug overdose following years of struggling with addiction. Lons amassed a global following after appearing alongside Cole on reality TV, and her fans took to social media to share more positive memories.</p>



<p>Since then, Cole revealed she was <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/398413-keyshia-cole-talks-why-her-next-album-is-her-last-and-wanting-to-produce-a-biopic-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">working on a biopic</a> about her life. It was recently announced that actress Debbie Morgan would portray Lons in the forthcoming film. While this seems like good news, a Twitter user accused Cole of &#8220;degrading&#8221; her late mother &#8220;for her benefit.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;And I’m addition to that I have recorded a record that will be in the movie dedicated to my mother,&#8221; she also stated. &#8220;(You all may or may not like it) but….. This movie was healing in some ways for me, so very appreciative of having this happen.&#8221;</p>



<p>After Cole responded, several of the singer&#8217;s fans also gave the Twitter user a piece of their minds. It didn&#8217;t stop the person from continuing to spew harsh comments. Check it out below.</p>
