Keke Palmer‘s partner and the father of her child, Darius Jackson have been trending all over social media since a now-viral clip of her attending Usher’s Las Vegas show has made its rounds.
Palmer attended Usher’s wildly popular ‘My Way’ residency over the holiday weekend, and was serenaded by the R&B King from her VIP section in front of the other attendees. As expected the clip went viral and got social media talking.
Darius took to social media to shame Keke for her outfit and dancing with Usher while in a relationship.
While the clip continued to go viral, and Darius’ comments had social media in a frenzy, Keke took to her socials seemingly unbothered revealing that she wishes she took “more pics” from the night.
I wish I had taken more pictures but we were running late! I am telling y’all right now, if you haven’t seen @usher YOU MUST GO!! HE WAS SO FABULOUS!! Giving theater, Atlanta downnn, tips and tricks and just absolutely iconic. I was truly inspired as a performer. I whooped some ass in spades too! Where is that pic of us all together with the King himself?? @noraradd
Usher also chimed in thanking Keke for attending as well as other celebs who flooded her comments with messages of support.
The two have been relatively quiet about their relationship but the pair confirmed their first child together during the Palmer’s hosting on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in December 2022. The couple welcomed their son Leodis this past February.
According to social media snoops, the pair has now unfollowed each other on social media and Darius has deleted his socials due to the intense backlash he’s received for his comments. However, he returned to social media to deny that and revealed he just restricted his accounts.
Controlling them notifications is Godsend.
Thank you, @elonmusk
