In light of the results of the first-week sales of her latest album, Calling All Hearts, Keyshia Cole has given her longtime manager, Manny Halley, the boot.
The album really hasn’t performed as her previous albums have. It debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200, but then slipped to 23-26 this week. It came in at No. 5 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, but now has moved 9-8 on the chart. These results are a far cry from her last two albums that both debuted at the #2 spot on the Billboard 200 and remained strong thereafter. In total, the album only 194,000 copies in the first week.
More after the jump…

Keyshia confirmed the news on her Twitter earlier this week, saying:
“Would like for u guys to know that Manny Halley is no longer my management. Someone said if the people around u won’t change, change the people around you.”
Bet. Upgrade to the Britto agency boo.

fame has really changed her!
Actually she didnt fire him because of album sales.
Daaam I’ll hire her to manage me…mmmmm
I am fan of Keyshia Cole and her music. However, her last cd was really corny. maybe 3 songs i really felt. Why blame mangement for her music. Blame the person/persons who said that song was hot.. simple.. sorry kesh, just being real..
Keisha got arrogant and thought she could just drop an album with no buzz..she took a break and the single w/ nicki minaj is very weak and outside of her core fan base…no surprise the sales are suffering
Sorry to hear he is no longer her manager. However, not sure what all the criticism is about. Keyshia’s latest album is really good. You can definitely see her growth. Maybe everyone should listen before believe all the nay sayers. The album needed better promotion and maybe a better first single. That is all.
