Keke Palmer of True Jackson, VP fame has been chastised once again by her boyfriend Darius Daulton Jackson for the attire she wore to Usher’s Las Vegas performance earlier this month. Following criticism on Twitter, Jackson responded:
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.

Palmer was spotted embracing Usher, slow-dancing, and singing along to his There Goes My Baby during the July 4 event in a translucent black dress over a matching thong bodysuit. Jackson previously said in response to a videotape of this incident:
“It’s the outfit…you’re a mom.”
Following this, netizens chastised the 29-year-old fitness enthusiast and social media celebrity for publicly humiliating his girlfriend and referring to her as his “wife.”
It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom.

“This tweet is even more embarrassing to your family than the outfit was.”
Another said, “Publicly embarrassing your partner is lame.” Here are a few more comments from netizens denouncing Darius Jackson for publicly humiliating his girlfriend Keke Palmer twice in a row. Keke Palmer, 29, has yet to comment on Jackson’s remarks regarding her dress or on his internet reaction.
Darius Daulton Jackson and Keke Palmer first met in 2021 during a Memorial Day celebration in May 2021. They made their romance public in August 2021. However, in March 2022, the couple erased each other’s images from social media, sparking rumors of their split. While none of them acknowledged anything, the couple had their first kid, a boy called Leodis, in February of this year.
Keke Palmer Relationship
Palmer told Harper’s Bazaar in March 2020, before meeting Jackson, why she prefers to keep her personal life secret.
“I don’t really do relationship stuff online, mainly because I don’t know how I would do it without looking, like, cheesy or something, you know?” she told the site. “Yes, I’m completely genuine, but there are some things I keep private from family and friends.”
Palmer discussed her choice to go public with her relationship with Jackson on The Tamron Hall Show in November 2021. “It became more difficult to hide,” she said of her decision to upload images of herself with Jackson at the time. “We spend so much time together, and he is truly my closest friend, that it just becomes a thing where I’m not going to hide something that makes me happy.”
“It’s not going to be everything you see, my job is my job,” Palmer said, “but at the end of the day, this is somebody important to me, so why not?”
Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson’s Child
Keke Palmer and her boyfriend Darius Jackson are expecting their first child! On February 25, 2023, the couple welcomed their son, Leodis “Leo” Andrellton Jackson. Just a few months before, on December 3, when hosting Saturday Night Live, the actress, 29, revealed that she was expecting her first child. The pair then announced their pregnancy during an appearance on The Tonight Show.
The couple has kept their relationship very discreet since they were initially connected in 2021, only attending a few events together, but Palmer did tell Bustle that she wasn’t hiding anything: “This is the happiest I’ve ever felt with someone.” So why would I go out of my way to conceal this individual? That’s a lot more effort than just living and being in my life.”
