Keyshia Cole

Someone who has managed to become successful in spite of their troublesome background.

The most successful person in a highly dysfunctional family.

If someone who you knew came from a rough life, managed to become successful and a positive influence in society, you would say that they did a Keyshia Cole.

If you feel like your family is always bugging you for money or material goods because they know or think you have the means to do it, you may say that you feel like the Keyshia Cole of your family.
