After Keke Palmer’s now-ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson slammed her outfit, she showed off her shady side by starring in Usher’s music video for his song “Boyfriend.” However, there was none of the sexual tension seen at the Las Vegas show and Nicole Moore noted that when Palmer and Usher are dancing together, they smile at each other in a friendly way but their bodies don’t touch. She shared with Nicki Swift, “Their body language here communicates friendly colleagues rather than romance.”
In a behind-the-scenes video, Palmer and Usher carried on their professional camaraderie. “While Usher showed Keke a video on his phone, Keke maintained a straight body and did not lean her body into Usher to view the video, her body language here indicating she was remaining independent of Usher rather than wanting to merge into him as she might if she felt romantic feelings toward him,” the love expert observed. Moore went on to state that if the two did have any sparks between them, they hid it well, adding, “It’s possible that they didn’t have romantic feelings here or they were putting on a professional face to hide the feelings.”
