Joining Keyshia in the balancing act is hip-hop icon and star of "REAL HUSBANDS OF HOLLYWOOD," Nelly.

"THE UNTITLED KEYSHIA COLE PROJECT": When BET audiences were first introduced to Keyshia Cole in "The Way It Is," her life was complicated with family strife, hard won musical success and rocky romantic relationships.

However, just as Keyshia settled into her role of wife and mother, she soon realized that "blood makes you relatives, but loyalty makes you family." "THE UNTITLED KEYSHIA COLE PROJECT" is a docu-series that reveals her continued struggles with the real-life issues that face all of us including career complications, marital strife, motherhood challenges, and jealousy from siblings. Laced with humor, drama and a hefty dose of love, the series will document Keyshia's painful setbacks and personal victories as she continues to defy her critics.

Jr. Known as an iconic, multi-platinum recording artist and one of the most notable figures in modern pop culture, Nelly has also been dominating the business world with his fashion line, Apple Bottoms, and as co-owner of the NBA Charlotte Bobcats.
