Skrilla Makes It Official: Gets Girlfriend Keyshia Cole’s Name Tattooed Across His Back
Written by Kiss Media on 27 October 2026
When Skrilla decided to make things official with Keyshia Cole, he didn’t just post a cute caption — he put her name on his back. Literally.
On Monday morning, Keyshia shared a photo to her Instagram Story showing the Philadelphia rapper with his back to the camera, and there it was in bold death-metal lettering: “KEYSHIA.” Her caption said it all: “Ok!!! Let that be known.”
The couple has mostly kept their relationship private, though they’ve been spotted spending time together around Philadelphia. News of the romance first surfaced back in July, when the two seemingly hard-launched things at the same time — Keyshia posted a bathroom selfie with Skrilla’s arms wrapped around her waist, captioned simply “Yup,” while Skrilla shared shots of them hanging out in the club and on a yacht.
If you know Skrilla, you know the name — the 2026 XXL Freshman is the voice behind the viral “six-seven” anthem that took over timelines and locker rooms this year. And Keyshia, of course, is R&B royalty, the voice behind classics like “Love” and “Heaven Sent.” Their pairing has definitely gotten people talking online, especially given the age gap between them — but if the tattoo is any indication, neither of them is paying that chatter any mind.
Of course, getting a partner’s name tattooed is one of the boldest moves in the relationship playbook. As HotNewHipHop put it, these kinds of tattoos are always a risk — you never know what the future holds. But right now, Skrilla and Keyshia look all in, and they’re not thinking about consequences. They’re thinking about each other.
Before Skrilla, Keyshia was linked to Atlanta rapper Hunxho, a relationship that officially ended back in March of 2025 after plenty of public ups and downs. This new chapter looks a lot quieter — and a lot more permanent, if the ink is anything to go by.
