YouTuber JoAnn Jenkins insisted that KeKe did not die by suicide, during a YouTube live broadcast on Wednesday night.
“Keke didn’t overdose, Keke didn’t take his own life. Keke loved life. Keke was not ready to let go of life,” she said.
“She wasn’t ready to leave her children, her husband or her family.”
JoAnn claimed that the reality star was often tired and would “sleep anywhere.”
She said KeKe decided to take a nap after having a problem with her car.
“So at seven-something in the morning, her husband goes to the garage,” JoAnn said.
“He sees Keke, who he thinks is sleeping in the car. He tries to get her attention. He opens [the car] above. She’s not breathing.
“His husband, his life partner, his best friend tried to bring back his wife, the mother of his children, and he couldn’t.”
“Keke went from carbon monoxide poisoning. That’s it. That’s all,” the vlogger concluded.
KeKe had three children with security expert Ameen – sons Amraee and Ace and a daughter named Aubree.
KeKe’s death was announced by blogger Marcella Speaks in a YouTube live stream on Tuesday.
Marcella said the TV personality died “peacefully at home, surrounded by love.”
“She was a mother, a sister, a great friend, full of life, love and laughter. She will be greatly missed,” she added.
“We ask for RESPECT and PRIVACY in our time of grief, as we process this great loss!” KeKe’s cousin and Love & Marriage: Huntsville co-star LaTisha Moore Scott added on Instagram.
“This is hard on our family!!!!”
KeKe on Love and Marriage: Huntsville
KEKE Jabbar appeared on the OWN reality show Love & Marriage: Huntsville in 2023.
The unscripted show revolves around the lives of three highly successful African-American couples.
The main stars are Melody Rodgers, her ex-husband Martell Holt, Maurice and Kimmi Scott, Marsau and LaTisha “Tisha” Scott, plus beauty mogul Stormi Steele and her husband Courtney.
The couples collaborate to revitalize the city of Huntsville, Alabama through their joint real estate venture: The Comeback Group.
KeKe was filmed arguing with her cousin and co-star LaTisha Moore Scott on the show.
She faced drug charges on the show’s most recent season and was confronted by a producer, Deadline reported.
“I’ve never taken any kind of hard drug,” KeKe said at the show’s reunion after clashing with Carlos King.
“I never used anything, heroin, cocaine, crack. I’ve never taken anything like that.”
KeKe was silent on Instagram in the months leading up to her death.
His final post was a video featuring his son Ace during a pool party over Memorial Day weekend.
“This is my son, Ace! Say, ‘Hey,'” KeKe said as she showed Ace playing in the water with his goggles on.
Elsewhere in the video, she revealed that she was launching a line of swim wigs for black women.
The mother-of-three was wearing one of her own designs and dipped her head in the water before coming back out to show off the wig.
She was also asked by a fan how she was doing during the live broadcast.
KeKe said she was “really good” but admitted that launching the new venture was “overwhelming” and “really difficult” at times.
