Keke Palmer has been an obvious star ever since she starred in “Akeelah and the Bee,” but it seems that she recently blinded Darius Jackson with her light. Not long after the internet swooned over her super adorable moment with Usher, Jackson took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and threw water on her moment. According to People, Jackson re-posted Palmer’s video with Usher and lambasted her revealing look. “It’s the outfit though.. you a mom,” he wrote. And though Jackson has since deleted the criticism, his words spurred a contentious social media debate around society’s expectations about motherhood.

Fortunately, much of the internet was on Palmer’s side. However, the debate sparked some harsh reactions about Palmer’s exchange with Usher, including a follow-up from Jackson where he defended his tweet. “This is my family & my representation,” wrote Jackson. “I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.” One month later, Entertainment Tonight reported that Palmer and Jackson were done. “Keke and Darius called it quits shortly after he called her out on Twitter for her outfit at the Usher concert,” revealed an insider. “Keke is focusing on her work and her 6-month-old son.” The source also revealed that Palmer and Jackson were strictly focusing on raising their son.
