Nasty rumors surfaced recently, that Keyshia Cole’s mother Franie Lons (pictured with her on the March ‘09 cover of Vibe magazine) had died in a car crash.

Spokesman for Keyshia quickly refuted the rumor.  “Imani Entertainment has received a huge amount of inquiries in regard to the rumor about Keyshia Cole’s biological mom, Frankie Lons, having recently passed in an automobile accident,” the statement read.  “The rumor has absolutely NO truth to it — Frankie has not been in any accident of any kind and is doing well at home in Atlanta.”

Cole’s manager, Manny Halley, confirmed the information to MTV News. In an e-mail, Halley said Frankie is “100% alive” and added that he recently hung out with Frankie, Cole and the singer’s sister Neffe, and all are well.”

We’re glad everyone’s ok.
