Having played out on reality TV shows, social media, and more over the years, Keyshia Cole fans are no stranger to her highly publicized family feuds.

As such, it should come as no surprise the R&B diva is in the hot seat again with a family member – this time with younger sister, Elite Noel.

She may be an R&B singer like her GRAMMY-nominated sibling, but Noel’s most headline-worthy moments have come in the name of drama.  Most recently making news for trading jabs with rapper O.T. Genasis after he made light of her mother’s battle with substance abuse (as we reported here), Elite is causing a commotion again – this time against Cole.

‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ viewers have watched Kenya Moore run the gamut of emotions with husband Marc Daly. 

Their off-screen romance led to a swift marriage and produced beautiful daughter Brooklyn. 

However, their union has been anything but plain-sailing.

The pair, who have lived in different States since the onset of their marriage, have been at loggerheads and have split multiple times. Indeed, they’ve been separated longer than they’ve actually been together.

The latest episode of the Bravo show saw Moore served with divorce papers after alleging Daly sent her loving lyrics just the day before.

In the scene, the shocking moment seemed to ignite the former Miss USA’s fire to extinguish the marriage formally.

Or did it?

Today’s From The Vault pick comes courtesy of an R&B prince.

This week’s selection is ‘Because Of You’ by Ne-Yo.

After a successful debut era, it’s safe to say the star – real name Shaffer Smith – was hoping to match his past glories. A little over a year after putting out ‘In My Own Words,’ he released his sophomore set ‘Because Of You’ as well as the title song as its first single in early 2007.

Produced by Stargate and written by Ne-Yo himself, ‘You’ is a groovy disco-infused love song reminiscent of early 80’s Michael Jackson.

It proved to be a wise pick, as it hit #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and #4 on the  Official UK Singles Chart.

The song’s video was directed by Melina Matsoukas. It presents the artist stepping out on his girlfriend with a lady he met at the club and then becoming addicted to their late-night rendezvous.

The video features Camila Alves – wife of actor Matthew McConaughey – as Ne-Yo’s girlfriend. It has amassed more than 190 million views to-date.

With ‘Because Of You’ – both the song and album – Ne-Yo proved to the masses that the sophomore slump isn’t a mandatory rite of passage. Additionally, not only was he riding high on his own chart success, but he was also scoring wins left and right through the material he was writing for other acts. Talk about multitasking!

Though the top of the charts hasn’t been populated with Ne-Yo’s music in a long time, he remains R&B royalty and his impact on the music landscape is undeniable. Both as a singer and a songwriter.

Salute to the gentleman with the fire pen game.
