Keke Palmer Leans Into Her “New Body” On Sultry But Glamorous “The Cut” Cover

by

After attending Usher’s Las Vegas residency last week, Keke Palmer was put in a seriously awkward situation. As the R&B crooner sweetly serenaded her, in all her mesh-dress-wearing glory, the actress’ boyfriend, Darius Jackson, watched clips of the moment go viral all across social media. In response, the father of one publicly lashed out at Palmer for showing a bit of skin and enjoying attention from someone else. There were some people who took Jackson’s side, but seeing as the former child star is America’s Sweetheart, the number of people criticizing him for his tweets was far higher.

Palmer and her man practically broke the internet with their drama, but she’s not letting things get her in her feelings. Instead, the Chicago native has been securing the bag left, right, and centre with her latest score being a cover story on The Cut magazine. Keke shared the exciting news on Monday (July 10) afternoon, writing a lengthy caption to accompany her sultry but glamorous photo shoot. Each of her outfits is more stunning than the last, from a black and white dress that hugs her curves to a more slinky all-black number she modelled while laying on a bed.

Keke Palmer Graces The Cut‘s Latest Cover

“Thank you to @thecut for such a fabulous and sweet cover story. I can’t even,” Palmer penned in her caption. “When I started performing I stopped going to real school. My mom also used to really scare me about meeting people and forming friends in the industry… Needless to say, I was lonely and looking for normalcy. I was and still am in many ways, your everyday loner even tho I was working on sets and living the ‘dream,’” she vulnerably explained.

While the discourse has mostly died down now, last week the internet was ablaze with commentary on Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson’s relationship drama. It currently remains unclear where the co-parents are at with each other, but as far as her career goes, the 30-year-old has never been better.

As for the interview itself, Miami addressed several different topics, including her relationship with Diddy. In doing so, she confirmed that she and the Bad Boy mogul have broken up. “We’re still friends! We’re still good friends!” she said. “But we’re single. That’s not my man. We had our own situation. I’m not gonna put a title on it. We were fucking with each other hard. We were together every day at one point. He supported me, I supported him. I’ll let the internet call it whatever they want to call it.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Miami also confirmed that she’s working on a new album. “Girl, I ain’t even gonna tell! I don’t know, like it is coming, and it will be sometime this summer for real, for real, for real. When you doing a project, it takes time,” she explained, “We’re trying to sit through it and make sure that that’s what we want to put out. It’s gonna hit different.” Outside of music, Miami also discussed her acting career. In recent years, she’s appeared on BMF and even had a role in Netflix’s You People. Although she’s got several credits now, Miami says she never expected to venture into acting.

GloRilla Cuts Off Loved Ones Who Try To Use Her For Money

She may be a newcomer on the Hip Hop block, but GloRilla has already earned her first Grammy nomination. Inking a record deal with Yo Gotti’s CMG has been quite lucrative for the Memphis star, but as many other artists have said, all that glitters isn’t gold. Don’t get us wrong; GloRilla has enjoyed every fruit of her hard-earned labor. However, she told The Cut that not everyone appreciates her efforts, and some see her as a cash register.

“They be on my ass,” she slightly jokingly said about her hectic schedule. “They be tellin’ me, ‘You still gotta do it. There’s no one else.’”

There are plenty of perks that come with fame, but according to Glo, it has divided her loved ones. It’s an unfortunate circumstance that many successful artists face.

“Me blowing up changed a lot. Like 50 percent of my family…” the rapper said before seemingly not wanting to continue. “I really don’t even care to talk about it.”

“Money change the people around you,” GloRilla shared. “It don’t change you, per se. It fasho change people around you, though.” She further made it clear that ending relationships with people who only see her as a come-up isn’t a concern.

“I don’t got a problem cutting people off, and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. But I have no problem cutting people off once I see what type of stuff they be on,” GloRilla also said.

“They just got to go. Because it ain’t no room for that no more. I’m on a whole ’nother level now, and if you’re still on bullsh*t, then I just don’t want to talk to you.”

Elsewhere she added, “But I’m just super-grateful. And it happened to me superfast. I’m still taking it all in.”
