Keke Palmer is everything – a quadruple threat (actress/TV hostess/singer/catch-all entertainer) and the breadwinner of her family. She welcomed her son Leodis “Leo” Andrelton Jackson back in February, not even five full months ago. Keke went back to work quickly, and she decided to enjoy a night out at Usher’s Las Vegas show a few days ago. Keke was actually invited on stage with Usher and Usher serenaded her. It was cute and Keke enjoyed herself.

Which is when Keke’s partner Darius Jackson decided to chime in. I don’t know how long they’ve been together, but she hasn’t married him and she supports him financially. So it’s weird that Darius thinks he owns Keke’s body, or that it’s his “right” as her partner to “slut-shame” her for what she wore to the Usher show??
It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom. https://t.co/qaQH6zWpkA

We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is.
This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe.
I rest my case.

“Man of the family” – because this broke douche can’t say “head of the household” or “breadwinner.” And again, Keke didn’t marry him. She’s not his “wife.” It’s also clear that he was mostly mad about Keke being friendly with Usher, but he couldn’t say that, so he attacked Keke’s clothes. Well, I haven’t seen a Black Twitter pile-on since Zoe Kravitz said sh-t about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. It was glorious – they went through that man’s entire online history. They found his old pro-police tweets where he said Alton Sterling should have just “complied.” They found all of his “likes” on misogynistic tweets.
Update: Darius deleted his account after Black Twitter ruined him!! OMG. Now Keke should dump his ass.
Keke Palmer’s man stepped out there and made the mistake of putting an in-house dialogue out there on social media and #TwitterCSI done pulled every receipt but that man’s immunization records. Tough scene.

You really should’ve deleted your account and started over when you got with Keke. Now everyone knows you’re a Trump supporter & a police apologist on top of an embarrassing boyfriend smh. https://t.co/oNCu0mbxpT

it makes me so sad that he said that about her, because he probably is nasty at home. the older I get, the more I truly feel that women just really don’t need men (except for that one thing)
at the same time, eww, did they not really date too long before having a baby? did she not know about his views? yikes, I can’t imagine having sex with someone who is pro-trump, so maybe she isn’t as wonderful as I thought? I just don’t know
This. If that’s how he behaves on Twitter, I can imagine what he’s like to her in person.
He seems deeply insecure
Very much so.
@Manda I can’t judge her for something she couldn’t foresee! I doubt she scanned through his twitter feed when they met. I read that she got pregnant soon after they met(probably accident). Going by the many true crime cases I watch that end up with random normal looking dudes killing people I’d say nobody can predict/tell what someone would do! She was also blinded by love.
I hope she leaves him(I won’t judge if she doesn’t) because he’s clearly a gaslighter/insecure man. He was’t expecting such a backlash and will try to backtrack and claim it was a joke or something.
Time to take the trash to the curb Keke. You deserve better.
I’m so sad for her omg. She must be so miserable. I hope she has the strength to leave him.
Does she? He had a pregnant girlfriend when they got together. He then asked said girlfriend to have an abortion, only to step out with a pregnant Kiki a short while later. Recently, she said that if someone told her that her man was cheating, she’d turn into Stevie Wonder.
Oh my I did not know all of that. What a mess.
I’ve never been a fan of hers but I think under all the unseriousness she’s quite problematic. He is also a Trump supporter and thinks women are ‘stupid bitches’. Twitter has all the receipts of his tweets from a few years back. I think she knows exactly who he is and doesn’t care because she holds similar beliefs or is at least ok with them.
I really like Keke Palmer and she looks gorgeous and I hate that this guy just shamed her clothes in front of everyone. Wtf why’d he have to do that? He shouldn’t do it in private either but to do it publicly and then get upset when you get called out. Dude, you said it online for all to see so what’d you think was gonna happen? A few hours later, she posted more picture of herself in that outfit so clearly she didn’t agree. Good for her.
Just his tone and word choice, too, makes him sound like such a pompous, misogynistic dick! Totally not into it.
Good.
As Greta put it, #smallddckenergy
Lol well said
Damn, these kept men are really out here not knowing their place. What is he bringing to the relationship? She looked gorgeous!
“What is he bringing to the relationship?”
Sperm and light skin. I think Keke just wanted a baby. Hopefully she is not financially entangled with him and can easily kick him to the curb.
I’m just gonna sit here whistling to myself.
She’s a beautiful grown ass woman who can wear whatever she wants! He sounds like a lazy pretty boy that got lucky finding a woman like Keke. He needs to marry her before he can call her wife. If I was Keke, I wouldn’t marry his broke narrow minded ass!!
Keke posted pictures wearing the the outfit.
So many funny Tweets, but the best one was, man of the house should not get children out of wedlock.
Too funny that his “morals” are about how she dresses, not about what he does.
Word. Full stop.
It’s depressing to see someone as vibrant as Keke Palmer fall for a dingus like this guy
It’s so sad. I know people say that dating right now is a shit show but geez, I hope she has a support system and leaves this loser who clearly has major issues and toxic masculinity.
Even if she was his wife, it’s not his place to tell her how to dress. He didn’t like how Keke “behaved” with Usher (there was nothing with that either btw.)
100%
And even if he was the breadwinner he has no right to try to control her this way. What an asshat.
This. It’s a manipulation tactic misogynists love to use- weaponize a woman’s status as a wife, mother, daughter, or sister so her rejection of whatever trad thing you want her to accept can be framed as neglect, abuse, dishonor, or betrayal of a family member.
Watching this all unfold last night was something to experience. Because he was really jealous of Usher showering attention on Keke he took it out on his partner and mother of his child. What an embarrassment to his family. I hope that Keke is all right when this is all said and done.
Did he forget that Keke is the black internet little cousin and has her back.
I wonder if they broke up or had a fight that’s why he lashed out like a child on the Internet. If they are still together Keke needs to leave him ASAP.
Sir…talking about wife….when did you marry her? Talking about standards and morals like he doesn’t stay posted up on the gram in his underwear?
ugh. He probably calls women “females” too.
That is proof he is a terrible person and should be dumped asap.
Twitter let him have it and rightfully so! Keke, sister, let’s get you a Stedman. Someone with their own career and money happy to see you out and flourishing while being a supportive force behind you!
Keke is a national treasure: thank you to Black twitter for protecting her against her baby father’s comments. S808, I love your comment on finding Keke a Stedman; I hope this comes true for her!
Keke 💕
There’s YouTube video of Steve Harvey telling her to stop dating down – broke men who are not on her level. She wouldn’t listen and was adamant that this is what type she wants. I believe she knows what he is and didn’t care. He’s misogynistic, anti LGBTQ and a trump supporter. There’s no way she’s unaware so that makes me think she shares his views. It’s difficult for me to see a republicans and liberal in a relationship but that’s a little more understandable than a liberal and a MAGA. Some folk say it’s the light skin and she wanted a baby. Still…… it makes me think less of her for being with him.
This is inappropriate commentary, full-stop.
It doesn’t matter whether he made it publicly; he shouldn’t have said it, even just to her.
It doesn’t matter that she is a mother. It wouldn’t have been okay had he done it six months ago.
It doesn’t matter whether they are married; it wouldn’t become appropriate because their legal relationship to each other was more formal.
It doesn’t matter how much he earns, whether he was jealous or what his internet history reveals. None of those factors justify his attack.
Let’s not pretend that different circumstances would make this acceptable. What he did was wrong, and he should be apologizing unreservedly and vowing to do better.
YES!!
A thousand times yes!
This would be break up territory for me lol. The layers to it…the virgin/whore/mother dichotomy, the sense of ownership, the public shaming. For somebody who portrays herself as tough and successful, this is just sad and embarrassing if she’s willing to tolerate it in her personal life.
Why is it embarrassing?
That’s like saying of your tough woman you should be embarrassed if you got into a physical or mental, abusive relationship. There’s nothing embarrassing about it at least to me.
As someone said above hours after he post his comments Keke posted more picture of herself in the outfit .
Because she chose to have a child with him. 🤷🏻♀️ Nobody deserves to be treated like that, but once a kid is there, that’s a second person who has no agency dragged into it. They’re witnessing, internalizing, and living it.
I hope for her sake that she wasn’t tolerating this from the start, but what a shame if she was because a kid will have to be stuck in the middle of that, regardless if they’re together or not.
just want to say that if anyone – especially someone whose had or has a child- is stuck in an abusive relationship, the whole ‘she should be’ ‘embarrassed’ thing (actively shaming) is supremely unhelpful. Giving folks extra helpings of shame when they’re already suffering from being poisoned with that same toxic substance can cause fatal overdose – high key levels of shame typa apoplectic depression – and that helps no child’s mother to make better choices for herself and her children.
Not saying that’s Keke’s deal here, just pointing out my pov that if she’s struggling w whatevs w this man, I’m not gonna be the one to jump her shiz about how terrible that makes her as a person woman mother.
Keke4eva 💕 🔥 YOU GO LADY tysm for the laughs and joy
Keke’s son is the only precious thing she has in this “relationship”. But mark my words, that bum will be an EXPENSIVE mistake for the next 18 years.
I can totally see this bum dragging her through the California court system and labeling her as an “absent parent” while he “raises” the baby, if she tries to leave his unemployed, broke behind.
Yes, I worry about this too

I said on Twitter last night and I’ll say again, I don’t think they’re together anymore. He’s her bd. That being said, the dragging was absolutely glorious. Usually, when it’s an attack on a woman, it’s women that stick up for them, but even men went to bat for Keke. She really is Black Twitter’s favorite little cousin. There was a meme where JayZ was him, Beyonce was Keke, and the rest of us were Solange in the elevator. They even pulled his brother into it. His brother turned into the Fifty gif “but what he saying f me for?”
Keke posting even more of herself in that beautiful dress after his mess was a very proud moment. Love that for her.
A cautionary tale about who you make babies with. Just like women who have out of wedlock children with famous men, this jerk would take Keke to the cleaners in court. He’ll claim Keke didn’t want marriage, he’s the primary caregiver, Keke got him accustomed to an affluent lifestyle therefore he needs x amount of money a month. He’ll Kevin Federline her with a quickness.
Hello, my fellow Aquarius. “Accustomed to an affluent lifestyle.” Are you talking about the bd or their son? If bd: can he claim that if they’ve only been together for two years and they aren’t married? If their son: can he claim accustomed if their baby is only five months?
Got my fingers crossed that she doesn’t end up like Britney or Hayden (he ex straight up took her daughter to the Ukraine with sole custody.)
yeah, but she knew. she has known all along about what his shitty views, his politics, whatnot. and yet she decided to procreate with him. maybe she even likes it. how very disappointing.
PS. By the way, he deleted his twitter account. Couldn’t take the heat.
What I learned from Black Twitter is that it is strange for someone like Keke who is openly bisexual, pro-BLM, etc to date let alone have a baby with someone who basically has MAGA misogynist politics. Like what was she doing with him anyway? I have big doubts his misogyny was a deep dark secret he kept from her. So was she indifferent to that? You know what they say about the company you keep…
“The gap between your personal life and your politics usually shows up the most in your love life because desire tells the truth. It’s hard to perform for long in this area.” https://twitter.com/Fiyasohollywood/status/1676788307290898432
@naomi. This might be wishful thinking on my part bc I live Keke. They’ve only been dating for two years (since sometime in 2021). Everything that has surfaced was from at least two years before they got together. I’m hoping she really didn’t know. He knew he was punching above his pay grade and might have catered to get very public views.
Don’t have any skin in this game, but I agree that I hope this is all news to her! And that she breaks up with him if she hasn’t yet!
So Mr. “ Man of the house” doesn’t know the first phukin rule-don’t trash the mother of your children online, they will see it someday soon.This man isn’t even thinking about his own children. Idiot.
Ladies, this is why you should never get pregnant by a bum. The best thing that could happen to her is him being a deadbeat bum who goes out for a pack of cigarettes and never returns, like the deadbeat dads of the 80s.
Sadly for her, she is his come-up. I see custody battles in her future, a La Halle Berry.
Shocking that the man who asked his pregnant girlfriend to have an abortion so that he could go public with his other more famous pregnant girlfriend turns out to be an *ss. Shocking. What’s funny is that there are photos of Kiki topless (hands covering breasts) and in pantyhose on the internet that *HE* took. It’s not the clothing or lack thereof that’s the problem; it’s her getting attention fro someone else.
Why is she with him? Why did she have a baby with him? If he’s so into his “morals” he sure had no problem have a child out of wedlock. Also, if he really is a Trump supporter, I now have lost some respect for Keke. She can do wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better.
They’ve already unfollowed each other on IG
Also…and I know this kind of missing the point…but for a sheer dress, her overall look really isn’t all that risque. Sure, her booty is out, but if I had her body, I’d wear that to a concert too. It’s not anymore exposed than a lot of swimsuits. And she IS Keke Palmer, a gorgeous celeb out for a night on the town. Is she supposed to wear a muumuu because she had a baby?
She can, of course, wear whatever the hell she wants either way, as she is a grow woman, so even if it was shockingly bare, that would still be up to her.
But I think for a celeb, going to a concert, that look is not really anything to clutch pearls over. The baby won’t know the difference, and if they see this looking back when they are say teens? They are likely to say “my mom was fire!”
I have a feeling that they broke up or about to! why else would she go on a girls only trip(freedom party!) He’s lashing out knowing he’s about to be pushed off the gravy train. I hope she has some legal protections in place or she’ll have to fight this bum in court to evict him. He’s not going to walk away from the luxury quietly. I hope she doesn’t put up with him and kicks him out
This dude out here looking like Cousin Skeeter and trying to tell the successful, beautiful woman how to dress? Naw girl. He needs to go (if he isn’t already gone).
Not Cousin Skeeter! 🤣🤣🤣
Black Twitter is undefeated. Man really should have just sat there and ate his dinner because they were merciless to him. He deserved the dragging he got, though. Talking about traditional man and his ass is a kept man that don’t even pay his own bills. Sit down, sir, and become self aware.
Whatever their relationship status is, I hope Keke continues to be Keke. Don’t let anyone take away your shine.
What an idiot he is.
@somakazima tweet is perfect. 😂😂
If this is what Keke’s boyfriend is saying publicly, I wonder what he is saying privately? It is very controlling and alarming.
Supposedly she unfollowed him so I hope that means he was dismissed. I mean if you’re going to be a jerk at least have a private discussion instead of showing your entire behind on social media as some sort of flex.
