Keyshia's obsession began two years ago when she started hoarding dirty diapers and taking them everywhere.

'I love it, it just tastes amazing. I have one when I'm cooking in the kitchen, I have one in my drawers, I have one when I'm sleeping, I keep some in my trunk, I keep some in my pocket book,' she says.

But now that she's pregnant with her first baby, her fiance is getting fed up with her bizarre cravings.

Keyshia gets the soiled diapers from friends and even strangers, and says that the taste is similar to that of sour candy.
