Fans connected the post to a presumed breakup with Philadelphia rapper Skrilla. The pair were first spotted together publicly in July, hitting LIV for the XXL Freshman Class 2026 party and taking a mirror selfie with Cole's arms wrapped around the "Doot Doot (6 7)" artist.
The relationship appeared to be solidified in late October, when the "Love" singer shared an image of what looked like Skrilla's back, inked with "KEYSHIA."
Before dating Skrilla, Cole spent much of 2024 and 2025 in an on-and-off relationship with Atlanta rapper Hunxho, which ended in March 2025. During the relationship, Cole got the rapper's forename, Ibrahim, tattooed on her chest.
Last May, Cole appeared on The Breakfast Club, where she shared that she wasn't in a rush to remove the tattoo or have it covered up but acknowledged that she wasn’t "ready to move on" from the "By Tomorrow" rapper.
