Coko may be known to fans as the lead singer of SWV, but there’s much more to the singer than what meets the eye. Over the years, she’s switched gears, going from public figure to mother of two. For those who weren’t aware, the 90s R&B singer has two sons – one with her ex, Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler of Digable Planets. Remember him? He was one third of the group that had us rockin; back in the day to their jazzed out songs like “Rebirth of Slick,” “Where I’m From,” and Nickel Bags.”
Coko’s second son is with her husband, Mike Clemons and since she’s been happily married for quite some time, it’s very rare for fans to see photos of her chillin’ with her ex, “Butterfly.” But she recently turned heads with a photo of herself with her oldest son’s father.

When Coko bumped into her ex at the Atlanta airport, they used the brief reunion for a mini-photo op.’ Coko also posted the pic on Instagram and captioned it, “#tbt Not really a throwback but ran into Ish last week in Atlanta. #babydaddy #coollikethat #Butterfly#jazzmomanddad #liltracy #digableplanets”

Fans Applauded Their Grown Folks Co-parenting
Although they’ve both moved on with their lives, the photo proves that people can get along after breaking up. Fans applauded their level of maturity and how they were able to come together, without drama because we all know there can be drama where baby mamas and baby daddies are concerned. But many of the ladies were commenting for a totally different reason. By the way, the ladies also made sure to point out their ‘appreciation’ for Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler’s looks…something Coko was probably used to witnessing fans do when they were together back in the day.
When Coko and Ishmael were dating, they welcomed their son, Jazz Gamble, in 1995. After SWV disbanded, Coko became more focused on her personal life…
