Cole’s fans and supporters proceeded to congratulate both her and her father and wished them well as they begin getting to know one another. However, talk show host Maury Povich used Cole finding her dad as a way to promote his long standing daytime show.

“Keyshia Cole…you should have called MAURY years ago and we would have helped you find your father! Don’t wait 34 years like Keyshia, call 1-888-45MAURY for your free DNA Test!”
