Last night, Twitter was on fire when new mom Keke Palmer got ‘mommy-shamed’ by her baby daddy Darius Dalton for wearing a revealing outfit while being serenaded by R&B star Usher.
After the memes and social media drama KeKe shared more pictures of her revealing outfit on Instagram and encouraged everyone to go see Usher’s show.
I wish I had taken more pictures but we were running late! I am telling y’all right now, if you haven’t seen @usher YOU MUST GO!! HE WAS SO FABULOUS!! Giving theater, Atlanta downnn, tips and tricks and just absolutely iconic. I was truly inspired as a performer. I whooped some ass in spades too! Where is that pic of us all together with the King himself?? @noraradd
Yesterday, Keke Palmer posted a video of herself having the time of her life at an Usher concert. In the video, she’s seen wearing a sheer dress with a black bodysuit underneath. It was that outfit that sparked some controversy that has spiraled out of control. Afterward the father of Palmer’s child, Darius Jackson shared his thoughts on the videos in a tweet. “It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” his tweet reads. The post caught fans’ attention and sparked a LOT of responses. “The moment men start seeing woman as mother figures they forget that they have any duality outside of that and think they can’t be multifaceted,” one of the top responses reads.
After the controversy had been completely set off, Jackson doubled down on his opinions in a new tweet. Subsequently, he tweeted “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.” Unsurprisingly, his doubling down did little to quiet fans’ anger. Now Usher himself has weighed in on the situation, though he’s hardly taking sides. Meanwhile he made light of the whole affair in a post on the new Meta app Threads. His post reads “Am I trending yet?” While the app doesn’t even have a trending page yet it’s clear Usher knows he’s part of some big online discussions right now.
Keke Palmer isn’t the only celeb caught dancing at a recent Usher show. Last month a video of Patti LaBelle getting down at an Usher show while fans cheered her on went viral. Earlier this year, Usher released his new single “GLU,” his first new track since 2021.
Usher also joined Muni Long for a remix of her song “Hrs & Hrs.” The remix turned the track into a hot and heavy duet between the pair. What do you think of Usher’s response to the ongoing Keke Palmer drama spawned from one of his concerts? Let us know in the comment section below.
Jacquees is now somehow involved in a drama-fueled online battle that includes Keke Palmer, Usher, Darius Jackson, and more. There is footage of an Usher concert in which the R&B singer is serenading Keke. This would be harmless, except for what she’s wearing. She had a skintight black leotard with sheer black lace covering the rest of her, exposing her backside. The father of Keke’s recently born child, Darius Jackson, took exception to the revealing outfit, claiming on Twitter, “It’s the outfit tho… you a mom.”
“We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife [and] mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others,” Jackson continues. “[And] he gets told how much of a hater he is.” Keke Palmer fans rushed to her defense, with one commenter randomly throwing Jacquees into the mix. “It’s Usher like cmon now,” the Tweet reads. “I could see if it was Jacquees.”
Not fazed one bit, Jacquees responded to the comment with, “Leave me out of it.” While the handle @b0mbchell_ was giving a backhanded compliment to the Georgia R&B crooner, Jacquees was having none of this smoke. He was not about to get in trouble on the internet for absolutely nothing. From all of this backlash, Darius Jackson continues to double down on his claims, still not pleased about Keke Palmer’s outfit. Usher has yet to comment about the outfit or Jackson’s stance on the issue.
As for Keke herself, she seems undaunted by Jackson’s comments, having nothing but good things to say about the Usher performance. She showered the praise on her Instagram: “I am telling y’all right now, if you haven’t seen [Usher,] YOU MUST GO!! HE WAS SO FABULOUS!!” For Jacquees, his only hope is that Ms. Palmer doesn’t come to his show anytime soon. Otherwise, he might have to answer to Darius Jackson.
Big Bossisn’t just the title of Keke Palmer’s May album and accompanying film. It also describes her lifestyle. Palmer attended Usher’s July 4 concert, as part of his ongoing Las Vegas residency, and she chronicled how much fun she had on her Instagram Story. Palmer danced and sang along to “My Boo,” but her reported real-life boo, Darius Jackson, seemingly wasn’t too happy back home.
A fan-taken video circulated on Twitter by RNB RADAR shows Palmer hugging and slow-dancing with Usher as he sings “There Goes My Baby,” eventually showing off her own voice. A Twitter account believed to be Jackson’s quoted it, writing, “It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom.”
In a separate post, Jackson wrote, “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.”
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.
Palmer has not publicly acknowledged the comments, and Jackson’s Instagram account has no traces of similar commentary. Page Sixreached out to Palmer’s representation for comment but, as of this writing, hasn’t heard back.
The father of Keke Palmer’s child, Darius Jackson, recently shared some controversial thoughts on his partner’s clothing choices. Yesterday, Palmer shared various clips where she’s seen attending an Usher performance. In one of the clips, she’s seen rocking a black bodysuit under a sheer dress. Fans loved watching Palmer living it up at the concert, but Jackson had other ideas. He made it clear that he wasn’t thrilled with her attire, telling her “you a mom.”
After sharing his thoughts on Palmer’s outfit choice, Jackson received a great deal of backlash on social media. Many users feel as though he was out of line to criticize the 29-year-old for dressing in a way that makes her feel confident. Several others also weighed in, claiming that citing Palmer’s motherhood as a reason for her to avoid looking sexy is misguided. “The moment men start seeing woman as mother figures they forget that they have any duality outside of that and thing they can’t be multifaceted,” one Twitter user writes. They also say, “Keke Palmer better drop his hating a*s.” Amid the backlash, Jackson has taken to social media again to respond.
“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,” Jackson wrote today (July 5) on social media. He then went on to say, “This is my family & my representation.” “I have standards & morals to what I believe,” he adds, “I rest my case.” Jackson coming to the defense of his actions did little to silence users who feel as though his comments were wrong. Palmer has yet to weigh in.
Earlier this week, Palmer also expressed being distrustful of the U.S. government, claiming that she’s “had enough.” She later mentioned the overturning of Roe v. Wade and Affirmative Action, saying that the way things are being run “isn’t working.”
Keke Palmer recently hopped on social media to weigh in on the current state of America. Palmer expressed her distrust for the United States’ government, claiming that the way things are being run just “isn’t working.” “As a millennial l I’ve had enough,” she captioned the clip.
“It just gets to a point where we just don’t even have trust in the government anymore,” Palmer expresses in the clip. She continues, “People want us to be involved and want us to be engaged and we’d like to, but […] it’s hard to be involved and engaged when there’s so much distrust.” She then goes on to share her disappointment over some recent decisions made by the government. “How are y’all overturning Roe v. Wade?,” she asks, “How are y’all overturning Affirmative Action?” At this point, are we about to be segregated again?,” Palmer wonders.
Recently Palmer also claimed she had been discriminated against at an airport. “Breast milk discrimination at the Houston airport ruined my mood,” she wrote on Twitter. “I should’ve popped my tit out right then,” she continued, “because the discretion and comfort of pumping is thwarted with threats to throw out over 16oz my babies food?!?!!! Why is that not a crime?? I’M A MOTHER for crying out loud.” Earlier this year, Palmer had her son with Darius Jackson, Leodis.
In May, Palmer dropped her new album, Big Boss. The LP is also accompanied by a film, which is over 40 minutes long. Just after the release, she did an interview with PEOPLE where she discussed sexism in the music industry. “We know bad things happen in all of them, but it’s almost like the acting world represents a union and the music industry represents non-union,” she explained. Palmer went on to say, “With music, it’s like everybody is being paid, and everybody’s a crooked cop. So, it seems like nothing will ever really come to a head.”
Keke Palmer may be 29, and a MOTHER (as she so often loves to remind people), but that doesn’t stop her from participating in TikTok challenges. In fact, her latest video finds the Disney alum dancing along with her infant son while Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj’s “Barbie World” plays. Rapping along with some of the Trinidadian’s latest bars, Palmer picks up her quickly growing little boy and carries him while expertly continuing to perform for the camera.
Not only are the Chicago native’s multitasking and lip-syncing skills on point but she’s also left us impressed with her outfit of choice. Palmer showed off her snatched body in a Canadian tuxedo made of dark wash denim. “My son told me to stay on y’all neck,” she wrote in her caption, crediting Leo with her unwavering confidence. “See you at Broccoli Fest ,” Keke added, generating excitement for her next performance.
Somewhere in between becoming a mother and continuing to carry out all of her other duties as a celebrity, the multi-talent found time to put together a visual project called Big Boss. Palmer has always had a talent for singing, though the industry failed to allow her to blossom outside her acting career throughout her younger years. On her latest work it’s more evident than ever that the Jump In! actress has found her voice – and she definitely isn’t afraid to use it at this stage in her career.
Parenthood comes with its share of ups and downs, but definitely one of Keke Palmer’s favourite parts so far has been her transformed body. The former child star has frequently thanked her little one for the natural BBL – as has his father, who’s been regularly showing Keke off on his profile. See some of the latest content at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Summer Walker and Lil Meech are one of the newer celebrity couples we’ve seen take their romance public and the time since has been filled with plenty of drama for them both. Thankfully they’ve mostly handled it in stride, however, a recent situation clearly put some tension between them. Last week, yet another Instagram personality posted up wearing the BMF actor’s chain, leading Walker to DM her for a quick interrogation session. While she told the R&B singer that she’s never met Meech, and was given the chance to wear his necklace while hanging out with security, the woman later exposed the Florida native with more receipts.
Things certainly didn’t look good for him, but the 23-year-old seems to have worked through the situation with Walker. We’ve seen them snapping selfies together as per usual in recent days, and while they’re Over It, the internet isn’t ready to stop talking about the hot gossip. During a recent chat with her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, and her mother, Keke Palmer revealed how she would’ve handled the situation in the mother of three’s place. “She’s not even getting on the line with me,” the former child star responded when Jackson asked how his girlfriend would react to another woman wearing his Eagles jersey.
“I’m not talking to nobody,” Palmer continued. “I don’t care, she could be standing next to you in a picture. I’m blind, I’m Stevie Wonder to the bulls**t. Whatever we going through, we talking about that like… In the closet,” she told listeners as her co-hosts cackled. When Keke’s mom asked how she would react to another woman approaching her with allegations about her man being unfaithful, her daughter said, “And I saw your man! I didn’t wanna bring it up, but since we bringing it up, have you checked with him? And then we’ll laugh and move on because they’ll know I’m not playing at that point.”
As the clip comes to an end, Keke’s mom drops a wise truth bomb – “You don’t have to talk about your man or your money.” If you were Summer Walker, how would you have handled the latest situation with Lil Meech’s chain? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
The 2023 BET Awards are only a few days away, and the nominations are out. On the 25th of June, the ceremony will be held in Los Angeles, California at the Microsoft Theater. Although a host is yet to be announced, one should be revealed within the next couple of days. However, one major category that’s garnered attention is that of the Best Actress.
At the previous year’s ceremony, the number of nominees increased from six to nine, but the number has been brought down to seven in 2023. Currently holding the title is Zendaya, who won for her roles in HBO’s Euphoria and Spider-Man: No Way Home. First-time nominees include Abbot Elementary’s standout star Janelle James, as well as Keke Palmer for her star-elevating turn in the Western horror movie, Nope.
The competition is as tight as ever. Regardless, here are all the seven nominees up for Best Actress at the 2023 BET Awards.
Angela Bassett
Angela Bassett has already made history as the first MCU actor to earn an acting award at major awards ceremonies. So it’s no surprise that she’s once again earned another nod at the upcoming BET Awards. Bassett’s nomination for Best Actress officially makes her the most nominated woman in the history of the category. She has been up for the trophy eleven times in the past, and this year marks her twelfth time.
Unfortunately, she’s yet to snag the award, but her recent win streak might spell a different tale this year. In addition to her work as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Basset’s nod also recognizes her work in television. Her leading role as Sergeant Athena Grant-Nash on the procedural drama 9-1-1 has been continuously commended.
Last year, Coco Jones earned her first Best Actress nod at the BET Awards. This was thanks to her fabulous reimagination of Hilary Banks in Bel-Air. Jones has received widespread acclaim for her portrayal of the character. She has served to introduce the character to a new generation of viewers while maintaining the spunk of the original. Besides the Best Actress nod, Jones is also up for the 2023 BET Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, due to her stellar year as a musician.
Janelle James has been making people laugh for decades, but her breakthrough role on Abbott Elementary has been truly exceptional. James stars as Principal Ava in the comedy mockumentary, and her hilarious role has been constantly praised by fans and critics alike. 2023 marks James’ first Best Actress nomination at the BET Awards. As Abbott Elementary has already been renewed for a third season, there are probably a couple more nods for the actress in the future.
Janelle Monáe‘s first Best Actress nomination at the BET Awards came in 2017. Her brilliant performance in the biographical drama Hidden Figures was greatly praised. She lost the award to her co-star, Taraji P. Henson, but this year, she’s up for the trophy once again for her performance in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. In the movie, Monáe won the audience and critics over by playing the role of twin sisters Helen and Andi. Her contrasting performance was a standout in the film.
Keke Palmer has received her first-ever Best Actress nomination at the 2023 BET Awards. This recognition comes as a result of her highly acclaimed role in the Jordan Peele horror, Nope. Palmer played Emerald Haywood, the curious, outspoken sister of OJ Haywood, played by Daniel Kaluuya. Their unique performances were praised, with Palmer singled out for her incredible talents on screen. Furthermore, her voice acting on the animated series Human Resources was also lauded and is also part of why she’s up for the trophy.
With seven nods for Best Actress, Viola Davis is one of the most nominated women in the history of the BET Awards. She won in 2012 for her roles in Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, as well as The Help. Davis is one of the most awarded actresses of her generation. It’s no surprise that her performance in epic drama The Woman King has garnered yet another nod.
Davis worked tirelessly to get in warrior shape for her role in the film, and she completely knocked it out of the park. While she has earned nods for her acting in film, the bulk of her nominations are thanks to her stellar performance in the legal drama How to Get Away With Murder.
Zendaya is currently the Best Actress holder at the BET Awards. Her win in 2022 came as a result of her gritty, emotional performance in the HBO teen drama, Euphoria. Coupled with that, her role in Spider-Man: No Way Home was also recognized. Although Euphoria has enjoyed its fair share of criticisms since its premiere, Zendaya’s acting has constantly been on the receiving end of praise.
Any mother out there knows that pumping breast milk for your child can be an arduous task, and one that airport security seems to have little regard for according to Keke Palmer. Moreover, the entertainer recently claimed on Twitter that she was a victim of “breast milk discrimination” at a Houston airport. According to TSA regulations and what we know of her testimony, it seems that the issue arose from the amount of breast milk permitted in carry-on baggage. Currently, quantities greater than 100 milliliters can pass through carry-ons just fine, yet she faced some pushback at the screening.
“Breast milk discrimination at the Houston airport ruined my mood,” Keke Palmer shared. “I should’ve popped my tit out right then because the discretion and comfort of pumping is thwarted with threats to throw out over 16oz my babies food?!?!!! Why is that not a crime?? I’M A MOTHER for crying out loud,” she concluded with some crying emojis. For those unaware, Palmer just recently became a mother, giving birth to her son with Darius Jackson, Leodis, back in February of this year.
Keke Palmer Calls Out Airport For Almost Making Her Throw Out Breast Milk
Breast milk discrimination at the Houston airport ruined my mood. I should’ve popped my tit out right then because the discretion and comfort of pumping is thwarted with threats to throw out over 16oz my babies food?!?!!! Why is that not a crime??
In other news, the 29-year-old recently released her first album in over a decade, Big Boss, which is also a visual album and her directorial debut. One of the many themes discussed on the album is the issue of sexual assault, abuse, and violent culture in the music industry, which she expanded on in an interview with People magazine. “We know bad things happen in all of them, but it’s almost like the acting world represents a union and the music industry represents non-union,” Keke Palmer remarked. “It’s happening in the actor world but eventually, it’s going to come to a damn halt. Somebody’s going to get called out. Something’s going to happen. At some point, we’re going to come to some kind of understanding.
“With music, it’s like everybody is being paid, and everybody’s a crooked cop,” she continued. “So, it seems like nothing will ever really come to a head. It almost feels like it’s a coming-of-age story for a woman. Being a woman is like, ‘Damn, the biggest mistake you can make is trusting somebody.’ Damn, I just shouldn’t have trusted someone? I wish that there was more that we could do. But it seems like we can’t even really expect for people to respect our boundaries.” For the latest updates and news on Keke Palmer’s many endeavors, check back inn with HNHH.
