“It’s really good, especially for Black girls who want to go in the pool and don’t want to get their hair wet.”
The reality star was wearing her own design, which she explained was protected with a swim cap underneath.
Wearing a black swimsuit, she then dunked her head under the water and came back out to show off the wig.
During the Live video, KeKe was asked by fans how she was doing.
“I’ve been really good. I’ve been working on some stuff. I’m in that stage in my life, that’s right before the breakthrough,” she said.
“A lot of the time it’s overwhelming and I feel like it’s too much. Sometimes I feel like giving up, sometimes I feel like it’s too hard, sometimes I feel like, ‘God, why am I even trying this?’
“You go back and forth with this whole entrepreneurial process. Because you don’t know if it’s going to work. I’m just praying for the best.”
Fans flooded the comments of KeKe’s final post with their heartbreak.
“Noooooo…. LORD wrap your arms around her Husband and Children.. they have gone through so much,” one commented.
