Keyshia Cole Speaks Out on “Love” Remix from OT Genasis
By: Amira Lawson
It is clear that someone has it out for OT Genisis following his “Never Knew” remix of Keyshia Cole’s hit single, “Love.” Cole seemed to have no issue voicing her opinion on OT Genisis’ remake of her classic single.
“I’m okay, but I’m really trying to get back to my music. So I would like my classics to be left alone. Is that wrong as an artist to say?” said the singer amongst her One on One With Keshia Cole panel. “How am I gon’ get paid when you makin’ new lyrics and you ain’t sent me out a check or anything like that? I don’t even know how that thing goes. And then people hitting me up saying’ like, ’Oh, I would never listen to Keyshia Cole’s song the same.”
The crip themed song seemed to be all fun and games when it first released but the joke seemed to be over for the “Push It” rapper once his short-lived music video was taken down from Youtube.
“I love everybody, I mean, that sings my songs. I done had Cardi sing it, sing my songs. He did it on Valentine’s Day, Bruno Mars was singing it. Trey Songz singing it in the club. But they keep my lyrics the same.” Cole stated.
Keshia Cole’s boyfriend, Niko Khale offered a new perspective on the matter. He states that those that are heartbroken will listen to Keshia’s version of “Love” and those that want to hear “gangster sh*t” will listen to OT Genisis’ version of the song.
“I think it’s kinda hurtful a little bit, too, as an artist because there was no, ‘Hey, how you doin’. How you feel about this?’ ‘Cause that’s what you do if you are an artist. If I wanna remix a Prince song Imma go to Prince and figure out if I can use that. Or if I wanted to use, like how I did “Let It Go” and I re-did that,” she continued.
OT Genisis posted the clip of Keshia’s comments on Instagram with the caption “Damn Keyshia, it’s like dat? I thought u were from da Bay? I thought it was California love. A n*gga can’t have fun no more lol.”
