Keke Palmer unveils Darius Jackson tattoo under her bum months after their public spat

Looks like Keke Palmer has put her drama with baby daddy Darius Jackson behind her – forever.

In celebration of her 30th birthday Saturday, the “Nope” star showed off her thong-clad booty via Instagram.

However, the real attention grabber wasn’t her bum itself, but rather what was underneath it: a tattoo of Jackson’s birthdate displayed just below her right butt cheek.

The NSFW pic was shared nearly two months after Palmer and the fitness instructor got into a nasty public spat.

Jackson, who shares 6-month-old son Leodis with Palmer, threw the first virtual punch in July.

At the time, he called out Palmer via Twitter for wearing what he deemed was an “inappropriate” outfit to Usher’s star-studded concert in Las Vegas.

“It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” he tweeted on July 5, alongside a viral video of Palmer being serenaded by Usher as he sang “There Goes My Baby.”

While Palmer – who was wearing a sheer black dress over a matching thong bodysuit at the event – didn’t publicly interact with her partner’s public shading, fans were quick to come to her aid and call out Jackson.

“Telling a grown ass woman what she can and can’t wear 🤮 such corny behavior,” one user responded.

Jackson then doubled down on his stance, writing: “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.”

It seems things have drastically changed since then, however, as the two reunited to celebrate Palmer’s birthday – with her bum on full display.

In an Instagram Live, Palmer showcased her day out with Jackson as the two joked with each other over food and libations.

At one point, Jackson called Palmer his “partner in crime,” to which Palmer thanked her beau for taking her out to celebrate her special day “as always.”

“I just thank you for making it special for my birthday. That’s so sweet,” she said.

Palmer may have not directly addressed the drama that unfurled between her and Jackson, but she seemingly alluded to what unfolded when she starred in Usher’s music video “Boyfriend.”

The actress seemingly clapped back at Jackson at the end of the music video when she said “I am a mother after all,” before giving a wink to the camera.

It appears Usher is also sticking around despite being at the center of this couple’s altercation.

The “I Don’t Mind” hitmaker made sure to wish Palmer his best on her birthday, writing in the comments section of her birthday post, “Happy birthday Keke!!”
