‘ROUND THE WAY: KEYSHIA COLE CONFIRMS ENGAGEMENT & PREGNANCY / J-BOOG RELEASES STATEMENT ABOUT HIS RECENT ARREST

January 7th, 2010

R&B singer Keyshia Cole has confirmed her engagement to basketball star Daniel ‘Boobie’ Gibson this week. The duo are also expecting their first child (a son) later this year.

Cole, 28, and the Cleveland Cavaliers player, 23, became engaged on New Year’s Eve.

Her spokesperson has confirmed the baby news after weeks of speculation, adding the proposal was “an absolute surprise”.

“When he asked her to marry him, she was flabbergasted. He presented her with the ring and her mouth dropped in amazement. It’s too beautiful for words.” [SOURCE]

Cole and Gibson have been dating for less than a year.

J-BOOG RELEASES STATEMENT

Singer Jarell “Boog” Houston (formerly J-Boog of B2K) released a statement on Wednesday, (January 6th) to clear up his recent arrest.

The 24 year-old says he wasn’t arrested on domestic violence charges but for traffic violations and wanted to thank his fans for the support. Read below:

“I wanted to reach out to my fans right away to clear up the allegations circulating the web. I did not get charged with any form of domestic violence against the mother of my children. I love and respect all of the women in my life and would never harm any of them. Domestic violence is a very serious matter and one that should be treated that way, however this was not a case of domestic abuse. I was taken into custody due to outstanding traffic violations. I took care of the situation, no charges were filed, and I was released Tuesday evening. Thank you to my fans who stood by me regardless of any circulating rumors. I am looking forward to a great year in 2010 for Fizz & Boog and hope that you will continue to support. Thank you.” -Jarell “Boog” Houston

    Lord, he’s only 23? He’s going to cheat on her left, right and sideways.

    Good luck with that, Keyshia.

    why is he referring to himself by name? “i look forward to a great year in 2010 for Fizz & Boog”. sounds like damage control by the pr team.

    lol, keyshia’s people werent saying anything at first about the pregnancy. now that she is engaged they’re quick to release a statement.

    gotta love it!

    Congrats K.Cole! I wish them the best of luck.

    I’m telling you all of the B2K boys need to get back 2gether. Hell Dru Hill is doing it. There is no real competition for boy bands. Day 26 is breaking up. That’s the only way any of these dudes are gonna make money. Omarion singing bout hoodies and getting dropped from young money is not a good look. They need to do a reunion tour or something.

    @ BOOO I hope he doesn’t but he is a NBA player and he is young as hell. I got a feeling that K. Cole knows how to handle her man tho. Good look to the couple.

    Thats some bull right there Boog. All kinda cover ups. I never heard of some getting arrested at their home for traffic violation. They must have been some serious outstanding tickets. People are getting killed and murdered everyday, do you really think the po po have the time to come to your house to arrest you for tickets….chile, something aint right.

    I’m happy for Keyshia that dude want her to be more than his baby momma but DANG 23?? he mad young I thought they was at least the same age.Wow she needs to think about it but then again she should of thought about getting knocked up by him too cuz despite marriage or no marriage he’s connected to him for life through that child she’s having. Well I dont think he’s mature but she’s with him for some REASON so only time will tell. Because if things dont go well with them im sure Keyshia will have an album about it…

    Can you say PRE-NUP!! But seriously, I wish them the best!! Marriage is hard, real hard. And by them being so young, are they really ready to spend the rest of their lives together? I just hope that when they say “For better and for worse” they truly mean it because storms will come, or as I like to say “Tests”, that will try and tear them apart. Trust me!

    J-Boog…who is he again?

    No one cares for JBoogie or whatever his name is. He is washed up and the only one from B2k people may be checking for is Omarion and he is irrelevant and struggling.

    That basketball player that knocked Keyshia up looks older than 23. It will not last long and Keyshia needs to get off her high horse because she is just as ghetto as her mother and sister, getting knocked up to keep a man and out of wedlock. I guess BET has a new season to look forward to.

    Keyshia always came off as a butch lesbian to me and will drive her man away with her abrasive manly self.

    Congrats to Keyshia and Boobie. I’m glad Keyshis is getting her life together, and I know her next album will be bomb. Hopefully better than “A Different Me”, cause that was not her at all.

    Is J.Boog even famous enough to release a statement? I don’t think anyone was really checking for him to clear up anything lol.

    Keyisha seems like the type of girl who always has to have a man and will take whatever she can get. For her and her child’s sake I hope it works. I personally think her career has peeked as high as it was going to so hooking up with Boobie and having a baby by him all under a year don’t surprise me at all, you remember how she was when she first came out (just like Frankie and Neffe minus the kids).

    None the less her life not mine Good luck.

    Boobie only makes $4 mil a year. I say only because after the cars, jewelry, and other bullshit he wastes money on, his pockets probably look like mine. And yes, I am jealous. I’ve had a crush on Keyshia since middle school. Fuck it, I’m out of here.

    Some people just can’t win for loosing. Ya’ll are so jugde mental but let it had been the oppisite way around that her man was 28 and she 23. Seriously people grow up. And for the comment that he ain’t mature enough. He was mature enough to make a decision to put a ring on her figure cause he don’t want his child to grow up and be called a fatherless child. Even men older then him can’t even do that now days. But hi, ain’t no need for me to agree with people who don’t look at the big picture. To the newly engaged couple, Congrats!

    Ask About Me

    Men cheat. Women cheat. Regardless of age. Im the same age as Keyshia and my hubby is the same age as Boobie. We started off with a baby before marriage, We got married when our lil boy was 3 months old. He may be a mature 23 year old like my hubby. We have been married for almost 3 years and have 2 lil ones (boy and girl)so things are good. Trust, respect, COMMUNICARION and following the vows plays a major role in marriage. Although we have our quarrels, but what marriage is perfect? Although, cheating is one thing I would not put up with. We learn to get over our quarrels and keep it moving with happiness

    i know that Tiger Woods must be mad as hell , because deep down he has always been jealous of pro black basketball and football players, and he said in interviews that he dosen`t understand why all the pretty women go for them and not golfers , so he tried to geek himself up and put on a beanie ,lift weights and mean mug and try to imitate and jack the swag of black ballerz , but the only kind of chicks he could pull was white trash ,and they only slept with him because of his money

    thank you! there is no age on cheating. It’s all about the person. tiger woods is at the age most would think is a good age for a man to settle down and get married – but look at all he is doing.

    ^ right, and they must have forgotten that white celebs have babies without being married. some people complain that not enough people with babies get married, now that they’re getting married they’re still complaining. if she were 23 and he were 28, no one would have a thing to say. he’s old enough to have sex, he’s old enough to take care of a child. i’m pretty sure he knew what he was doing.
