On Christmas morning 2002 Keke Wyatt was getting decked in her halls and she wasn’t going to take it anymore.
After enduring abuse from her then husband Rahmat Morton, she picked up a pairing knife and stabbed him repeatedly in fear of her life.
“Yes, I did stab him but it was with a pairing knife,” she tells TheUrbanDaily.com. “If I’d stabbed him with a machete he’d be dead. ”
Despite the turmoil she went back to him and even had two more children. But eight years later she’s finally had enough. After suffering one last attack she filed for divorce.
“I’m out of that situation now. You think it’s going to get better and it never gets better,” she says. “This last time I thought my life was over.”
Now she is focusing her attention on her new CD, Who Knew, being released on Shanachie records. The new first single of the same shows off the powerful voice that fans have adored since her duet with Avante, “My First Love.” But while she has made a name for her collaborations Wyatt insists that this CD is “all her.”
In this exclusive interview Keke shares the journey of the last ten years and implores fans and observers, “not to judge me.”

@ sharon648. you are so right!!! ‘when a man put his hands on you and hits you for the first time and mentally and emotion abusive you then it’s time to let him go’

Ive always loved Keke Wyatt Im still trying to figure out why shes not famous as shes supposed to be right now because this child can sing and shes just a great artist all the way back to her days with Avant but anyways Im glad she made it out of her situation.

as women we must let go of things that bring us pain and heartache, that we must not endure it anymore , when a man put his hands on you and hits you for the first time and mentally and emotion abusive you then it’s time to let him go. if not it will only escalate to more abusive until someone ends up dead. i aplause keke, keep your head to the sky and god will do the rest.

Like her vocals and her style as well and I symphathize with her “drama” that she has endured with reagrds to her abusive husband. I can speak on it because I have been in her shoes for 17 years! Finally fed up with the bs, I am currently divorcing that man with the damn hand problem! Gotta do me because I am not a punching bag. Just making sure I get the damn house because If it weren’t for me the house would not have been. My credit, my good name so he gets nothing but the boot! Biggups to all women going through it. To young girls who think that love must hurt, babygirl you are precious, beautiful, and in the words of my favorite R&B singer Ron Isley: You deserve better baby!

she can get it. just let her know you want to hit it. nothing more nothing less. she wont fall in love with ya. most niggas be saying they love you and leave ya ass the next day or dont call you the next thing. niggas better watch thin line between love and hate.

If Keke doesn’t people to judge her, perhaps she should take her business off the streets. Her interviews aren’t helping her any.
Attempting murder does not build a fan base.
at 4:07 pm
lol doesnt she have white in her…..yea that would explain it…..
at 10:35 am
and she is right she is not crazy but she is crazy for going back to him but then again you can’t tell the heart how to feel. At least she got her and the kids out of that situation before she lost her life. so keke i hope all is well and you are really done with that animal.

AsileeDotCom don’t act all omniscient like you know everything.Even you have been guilty of making irrational decisions during your lifetime,just like KeKe….

She stupid for not grasping the concept of logic until now. Once a woman-beater, always a woman-beater. She’s a fuhkin’ dumb as.s.

Ok, Domestic Abuse is bad, but I’m sure that the cops pressed charges against her, for a reason. I don’t think any violence against another is acceptable, but I’m sure she got out of a much stiffer sentence by throwing in “oh domestic abuse… yeah that happened”. Something never quite smelled right about her case from jump, and that’s why police tried to make more of it, even though her man didn’t press charges. She has CRAZY EYES, she’s psycho!
