It is hard to keep up with the Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson drama, but the internet is here to help.
This weekend, a major debate comparable to “What color is that dress?” erupted on social media. Keke Palmer and a group of friends flew to Las Vegas and attended an Usher concert, where he decided to take it nice and slow with her.
And she enjoyed every moment of it. As the R&B crooner sang for the actress, she happily danced and showed off her mama curves in a sheer black dress.
The legendary artist was seen admiring the actress perky behind in the revealing attire. At the end of the steamy performance, Palmer gave Usher a memorable hug.
The footage of Usher and Keke Palmer’s spicy moment rapidly went viral, and it led to a ton of questions about the way a person should conduct themselves when they are in a committed relationship.
Many were baffled by the interaction between Keke Palmer and Usher because she is in a relationship with Darius Daulton Jackson.
Jackson and Palmer welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Leo, in February 2023.
Palmer’s boyfriend, Darius Jackson, was not happy with what he saw and took to social media to share his frustration.
The father of one shamed his girlfriend by letting her know that her outfit was too much.
He also reminded her that she is now a mother and should behave accordingly. Darius Jackson said via Twitter: “It’s the outfit tho … you a mom.”
Darius Jackson was crucified by the internet for the manner in which he addressed the situation.
Many social media users bashed Jackson for not reaching out to his girlfriend privately via text message or phone call.
Others claimed that he was trying to control a grown woman. Jackson wrote via Twitter, along with a video of Usher serenading her on stage.
In response to the heavy backlash, Jackson penned a lengthy statement to explain his position.
He wrote: “We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife [and] mother of his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others [and] he gets told how much of a hater he is. This is my family [and] my representation. I have standards [and] morals to what I believe. I rest my case.”
That statement only escalated the situation, and Jackson was relentlessly attacked for disrespecting the mother of his child.
He eventually deleted all of Palmer’s photos from his page. As the drama continued to hit Jackson, he closed down his account.
Meanwhile, Keke Palmer answered by sharing a video of herself dancing, claiming she would not take the BS.
She decided to turn the scandal into an opportunity — she is selling T-shirts that read IM A MOTHA.
Many believe that the couple has split because Palmer has not addressed the situation or defended the father of her son.
Usher has addressed the situation by showing support for Palmer. He wrote: “The Big Boss!! Thank U for coming.”
Some are wondering if the incident went too far.
