Keyshia Cole Claps Back at Dreamville Fest Outfit Critics

Raleigh, NC – Before she even hit a note, Keyshia Cole had all eyes on her at this year’s Dreamville Festival—and not just for her voice. She’s clapping back after facing criticism for her outfit at the 2025 Dreamville Festival. The R&B singer hit the stage in a pair of shorts, an athletic top, and a windbreaker. Some fans had jokes about her shorts, with many even comparing them to a “diaper” during her recent Instagram Live.

Never one to shy away from speaking her mind, Keyshia responded with zero hesitation.

“Because it’s my motherf****** business why I got my god damn diaper on,” she snapped, while wearing a VR headset on Live. “What it mean to you that I got on a goddamn $1,000 diaper — what it mean to you?”

While she stood firm in her choice, she also kept it playful, later admitting, “It was a lil’ diaper-ish…but I didn’t care, I liked it anyway.”

Adding to the fun, a friend in the background joked about how much Keyshia was feeling herself backstage, saying she loved how her shorts made her butt pop. The singer tried to keep a straight face but couldn’t help laughing—and then cheekily flipped off the trolls.

The moment was pure Keyshia: unfiltered, funny, and unbothered. Love the look or not, one thing’s for sure—Keyshia Cole is wearing what she wants, and she’s not taking fashion notes from anyone.
