Skai used to tell many times, that her career was possible mostly due to the hard work of her mother. She was just 9 months old, when her mom, Kiya Cole, decided to take her kid to the model agency.

Skai had no choice, so she began appearing in front of the camera and soon got very interested in her activity. But she liked acting even more and debuted on the TV screen at the tender age of 9.

Kiya Cole used to work in the post office, but she left it when she became Skai’s career manager. The woman devotes all her free time to her daughter – she answers e-mails and phone calls, attends interviews and film sets with her talented girl. But Skai is in her late teens as of now, and Kiya is not so busy with caring about her. So, she plans to start her own business.

Mrs. Cole is a great mom, and Skai never gets tired to thank her for everything. But some actress’s fans consider her mother a little overprotecting. The same the rapper Azealia Banks said, with whom Skai had an online feud.

On her way for an audition, Skai posted a comment under one of Banks’ posts, where she advised the rapper “to simmer down”. After that Azealia Banks responded in a very rude manner, and Skai’s mother had to interfere. She showed the scandalous rapper the full force of her wrath.
