Skrilla and Keyshia Cole are no longer together, according to a report from XXL. The R&B singer confirmed the split on social media, and the Philadelphia rapper has since responded with a video of his own.
Keyshia Cole confirms the breakup
On Nov. 6, Cole posted on her Instagram Story to say that she and Skrilla had broken up. She reshared a message reading, “It’s peaceful when you’re not interested in anyone anymore,” set to Fabolous’ 2023 track “Selfish.”
She added a message of her own: “Currently cooking up the greatest rebrand of my life rn. Single. Happy. Focused,” followed by a white heart emoji.
Split follows the tattoo
The breakup came less than a month after Skrilla had Cole’s name tattooed on his back. XXL notes that the 2026 XXL Freshman had not publicly addressed her announcement at the time of the original report. During a concert performance on Chief Keef’s East Court Tour, however, the “Doot Doot (6 7)” rapper tried to sing Cole’s 2005 ballad “Love.”
Skrilla responds
In an update, XXL reported that on Monday, Nov. 9, Skrilla posted a video on his Instagram account saying Cole will never leave him. “Yo, stop playing with my girl, Keyshia,” he said. “That’s my wife, she will never leave me, we together forever.” He repeated, “We together forever.”
How the relationship unfolded
Skrilla is 27 and Cole is 45. The two had been dating since the summer. Rumors of a romance first surfaced in early July after both posted soft-launch content on Instagram. They shared several photos together, including a bathroom selfie of Skrilla with Cole embracing him from behind, which she captioned “Yup.” Instagram Story updates also showed the pair at a nightclub and on a yacht.
The two have given conflicting public signals since the split: Cole has described herself as single and focused, while Skrilla has insisted the relationship is still on.
