How do we personally know Kesha?
Nikita Sky personally knows Kesha through pageantry. One of her most memorable moments she recalls with Kesha was the night before the 2015 Miss Tropical International Paradise Pageant where she was practicing her questions outside by the pool. Kesha joined her and they began bouncing questions off of each other working together for their big competition the next day. It showed her heart and they’ve been cool with each other since, it’s never a dull moment at any gigs these two link up in. Malik met her through countless fashion/award shows and events through his support for Nikita that Kesha has attend as well. Kesha is a rising talent from Jamaica that both Nikita and Malik are extremely proud of and thrilled to shine a spotlight on her successes!
