Keke Palmer’s Baby Daddy Faces Backlash for Shaming Her Outfit at Usher’s Show
American actress Keke Palmer’s baby daddy, Darius Jackson, is currently receiving harsh criticism for publicly shaming the outfit Palmer wore to Usher’s show in Las Vegas.
A video of Palmer dancing and hugging Usher during his performance went viral on social media.
The beautiful actress had attended Usher’s recent glamorous performance in Las Vegas and shared a delightful moment where Usher serenaded her in the VIP section.
In the video snippet, Keke could be seen embracing Usher while he performed his soulful hit, “There Goes My Baby.”
The duo swayed together in front of the audience, and at one point, the 29-year-old playfully twirled to showcase her sizzling outfit—a black polka dot mesh dress that revealed a thong bodysuit underneath.
Fans and friends showered Keke with compliments for her alluring attire, but her boyfriend held a different opinion.
On Wednesday afternoon, Jackson took to Twitter to publicly shame Palmer. Darius quote-tweeted a video of Keke wearing the sheer dress as Usher serenaded her.
He expressed his thoughts by stating, “It’s the outfit tho… you a mom.”
Fans and followers quickly called out Jackson for his comments, pointing out that he had previously celebrated Palmer’s body on his Instagram Stories, especially after giving birth to their son, Leodis.
The couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Leodis Andrellton Jackson, in February. Although they have kept their relationship mostly private, they made it Instagram official in August 2022.
Keke Palmer’s Baby Daddy Unapologetic After Wardrobe-Shaming Her
Fitness enthusiast and instructor Darius Jackson continues to stand by his criticism of Keke Palmer’s outfit choice for Usher’s concert, despite facing significant backlash.
After receiving public backlash for shaming Palmer’s wardrobe, Jackson defended his comments. He argued that as a family man, he had standards and believed that the mother of his children should not showcase revealing outfits to please others.
Darius, Keke’s boyfriend, has been facing public scrutiny for mom-shaming his girlfriend since Wednesday, July 6, 2023. Keke’s friends took to SM to remind him that he shouldn’t date a baddie if he can’t handle it.
However, Darius remains resolute and unapologetic for his comments about Keke’s wardrobe choice at Usher’s show. In fact, he now asserts that her sheer outfit reflects poorly on their family and their values.
In his defense of his initial remarks, Darius wrote, “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”
Without wavering, he added, “This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.”
Netizens swiftly took to their keyboards to reply to his quoted tweet by making sarcastic remarks about how much he wanted to present himself as a traditional man when he was comfortably staying at home, spending his significantly richer girlfriend’s money, and using store-bought nail polish.
They admonished him to stop being a hypocrite that talked about values and morals when he still hadn’t done right by Palmer by marrying her officially instead of being her baby daddy.
They also aired their dissatisfaction with him publicly, trying to shame her for what she decided to wear out as a grown woman. Many fans commented that even if he wanted to criticize her outfit, he should have done so privately.
The Three Arguments Dominating The Comments Section on Twitter
- Palmer is an award-winning Hollywood actress with many years of experience in the movie industry. Even as a new mom, her outfit was “modest” by Hollywood’s standard.
Other entertainers have worn worse to bigger events even though they were married and none of their husbands or partners had publicly called them out on SM. - Keke, 29, is a grown woman, an adult that has every right to wear whatever she wants to, wherever.
Keke Palmer has always been known for her eccentric lifestyle and fashion style. If she was already dressing that way before he met her, why is he trying to change her now? Because she has a baby with him? No way. - Jackson didn’t really have any right to speak to her that way because he was only her baby daddy. Not her husband.
For many, the truth remains that He is not her husband and therefore has no legal, religious, or moral rights to tell her what to/not to wear out, much less on a social media platform. They see it as a sign of gross immaturity and deep insecurities.
Despite the criticisms, Jackson remains unapologetic and stands by his initial remarks about Palmer’s outfit. Palmer has not addressed the situation on social media. However, it has been observed that the couple no longer follow each other on Instagram and Jackson has deleted his Twitter account.
Will this spell the end of the beautiful relationship between the couple? How far will this drama go? Only time will tell, and we’re here for all the gossip! Feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments section below.
