Usher Taps Keke Palmer To Star In New “Boyfriend” Music Video

by

Keke Palmer is teaming up with Usher to turn some real life drama into a new music video. Last month the pair were wrapped up in a news story together when a dress Palmer wore to one of the R&B legend’s shows in Vegas got some surprising attention. The drama was sparked by Keke’s partner Darius Jackson who took issue with her outfit in a series of social media posts. Now, they’re making the most of the high profile drama.

Usher just dropped his new single “Boyfriend,” his third new song of 2023. For the video he fittingly nabbed Keke. In the accompanying video the pair have a chance encounter in where else but Las Vegas. Even the lyrics of the song itself seem to reference the viral drama. Throughout the song Usher makes references to somebody’s boyfriend looking for him, presumably because of perceived advances he’s making on girls. Check out the perfect new video below.

Usher And Keke Palmer Keep It Real

Though Usher hasn’t released a new album since 2018, he’s stayed busy. “Boyfriend” is his third new song this year and second release in just the past few weeks. Back in March of this year he opened his 2023 with the non-album single “GLU.” Earlier this month, he teamed up with Summer Walker and 21 Savage for a new single called “Good Good.” Subsequently the song instantly became a success debuting at number 68 in its first week on the charts.

Last month, Usher announced that he has a new album on the way soon. He previewed a song called “Comin Home” which is expected to appear on the project. The two singles he’s released since then are also expected to make the cut. What do you think of Keke Palmer and Usher addressing their drama in a new music video?

Usher And Keke Palmer Stir The Pot After Their Las Vegas Drama With A New ‘Boyfriend’ Video

by

In case you’ve managed to avoid all Keke Palmer news on your feed over the past month-plus: Palmer turned up to an Usher concert in Las Vegas on July 4, where the two got a bit cozy as Usher serenaded her. Darius Jackson, the father of Palmer’s son, didn’t care for that and criticized Palmer’s outfit.

That made the situation a whole thing online, and Palmer responded by saying she’s not paying the criticisms any mind. Usher later shared his perspective, calling the whole thing a “pop moment” that is “worth talking about.”

It didn’t end there, though: Yesterday, Usher teased a new video for a song called “Boyfriend,” and of course, Palmer stars in it. Now, the full visual has been unveiled.

Usher sings on the song’s chorus, “Somеbody said that your boyfriend’s lookin’ for me / Oh, that’s cool, that’s cool / Well he should know I’m pretty easy to find / Just look for me wherever he sees you / Somebody said that your boyfriend’s lookin’ for me / That’s cool / If he could find a way to get in your mind / Say he want me, that’s all he got to do.”

The new song and video quickly follows Usher’s last one, “Good Good” with Summer Walker and 21 Savage from earlier this month.

Watch the “Boyfriend” video above.

Usher finally spoke out regarding the recent viral incident involving KeKe Palmer during his Las Vegas residency.

Palmer found herself in the spotlight, and fans quickly took sides, sparking a spirited debate that enveloped the couple.

In a recent statement to People, Usher shed light on the incident, stating, “I think everybody’s vision or a version of what they felt happened there just leads you back to just really having a good time in Las Vegas. And that’s what I hope came out of it.” Usher emphasized the notion that the moment was ultimately about enjoying the vibrant Las Vegas atmosphere and the music.

Keke Palmer & Usher Collaborating On “Boyfriend” Music Video After Sultry Las Vegas Serenade

Keke Palmer hasn’t formally addressed the status of her relationship with Darius Jackson after their public fallout earlier this summer. The new father was in his feelings after videos of his partner at Usher’s Las Vegas residency went viral online. Jackson quickly fired off a tweet shading the former child star’s sheer Givenchy dress. Before long, their personal business was all over social media. We saw the co-parents unfollow each other in the hours after everything went down. Some subliminal shots were also later thrown by both parties.

Knowing Palmer, it’s unlikely that she’ll tell the internet any more than they need to know about what went down between her and Leodis’ dad – at least not until she’s ready. For his part, Usher has been sharing his thoughts in recent interviews, but on Tuesday (August 15) we got further clarity when both artists announced that they’ll be dropping a new visual called “Boyfriend” tomorrow (August 16).

The 15-second teaser that’s been shared on Twitter and IG shows both the True Jackson VP star and the Houston native getting ready separately backstage. “I heard that your boyfriend’s looking for me,” Usher’s famous voice croons as Palmer confidently struts toward the camera. It’s unclear if we’ll hear any vocals from her following her Big Boss visual album on this single, but regardless, the internet is already certain she’ll eat up her starring role in the video.

“When fantasies become reality,” the father of four wrote in the caption of his promotional post this morning. After being labelled a “domestic terrorist” by some, Usher is now also being dubbed a “menace,” among other things, in his comments section. If you still aren’t quite sure who Keke Palmer’s baby daddy is, you can read everything that you need to know about Darius Jackson at the link below.

Trolls work hard to shut down stars online, but Keke Palmer works even harder to keep her peace of mind. On July 4, Palmer’s estranged boyfriend, Darius Jackson, fueled haters online when he blasted her for her clothing choice while attending Usher’s Las Vegas residency.

Quickly after, the multi-hyphenate entertainer declared she was “Stevie [Wonder] to the bullsh*t,” backlash she received from her wardrobe and her harmless dance with Usher onstage. Now, she is taking it up a notch. Palmer took to social media to reveal that she will be in Usher’s official video for his single “Boyfriend.”

In the record’s trailer, Palmer and Usher seemingly recreated their pre-stage moments as the pair dressed in the flyest pieces heading out for an epic evening. The track is sure to be a masterful clap-back not only to Jackson, with whom she shares a child.

Following weeks of online chatter, Usher finally addressed the moment with People on August 4. “I think everybody’s vision or a version of what they felt happened there just leads you back to just really having a good time in Las Vegas. And that’s what I hope came out of it. Rather, it was a conversation of what was going on with us having fun in front of the audience or a conversation about that song,” said Usher.
