Earlier Years
She continued to hone her singing and songwriting skills locally during her youth and teen years, and as a producer Steve Huff protégé, she released a number of gospel demo tapes. When she was 18 years old, she collaborated with R&B singer Avant to perform a version of the 1983 classic “My First Love” The song was featured on Avant’s debut album, My Thoughts, which was released in 2000, two years later. Keke signed her first solo record deal with MCA Records, in part due to the popularity of “My First Love” as a single. Her debut album, Soul Sista, was released in November 2001.
Domestic Disturbance
A personal incident that happened on Christmas Day 2001 when Keke attacked her manager-husband, Rahmat Morton, while at their home in Kentucky, as well as the success of Soul Sista’s second single, “Nothing in This World,” another duet with Avant, contributed to the album eventually going gold in the U.S. and selling over half a million copies. Morton was found by police with stab wounds to his hands, arms, and torso after they responded to a domestic violence incident. Doctors at the University of Louisville Hospital had to take a steak knife blade out of his back. Even though the charges were ultimately dropped, the couple ended up being divorced several years later.
“People act like I’m the one that was the abuser and I’m the one that was doing the domestic violence. No, I was the one being abused and had to get myself out of the situation.” — Keke Wyatt to Vibe.com regarding her 2001 domestic assault arrest.
Record Label Drama
Despite more than a million copies being sold worldwide, Keke and MCA Records split following her debut album. She ended up signing with the hip-hop label Cash Money Records in 2004, and in 2005, she released a single. However, the anticipated album, Emotional Rollercoaster, was postponed, and in 2006, she left Cash Money. Later that year, she signed with TVT Records; however, the firm went bankrupt in February 2008, preventing the release of her album, Ghetto Rose. She eventually relaunched her career by joining Shanachie Records, which has so far distributed her two albums, Who Knew (2010) and Unbelievable! (2011).
In 2017, Wyatt released the track “Summertime” Keke Wyatt’s net worth is projected to be $5 million as of 2023. Her fifth studio album, Country Fried Soul, is slated for release.
