Palmer Talks “Big Boss” And Family Life

“From my perspective, I experienced a lot of misogyny and also just insecurities… We all have these narratives that we tell ourselves. My first record deal at 12 years old with Atlantic Records told me that I was always going to have it hard in music. The movie is about me overcoming that narrative and understanding I’m always enough, Palmer said of the film Big Boss. She also reflected on her relationship with her mother, “Yes, so she started off as my acting coach, my manager and now she’s my business partner and those things are great, right. I’m so blessed to have not only a great parent but a passion shared with a parent, but the reality is, is that my job also became overwhelming for me.”

She continued. “I started to feel so much pressure for everything my parents sacrificed for me to do what I did and so then it became a painful kind of bond because it reminded me of what I felt like I sacrificed and what I could be losing.” Palmer also spoke about her family life, “I’m ready to go home now. There’s nothing more exciting than lookin’ at your little baby boy.” Palmer gave birth to her son Leo on February 25. Palmer also walked the red carpet at the recent Met Gala in a custom Sergio Hudson gown. “You were a grown-ass woman on the carpet!” to which Keke Palmer replied “Come on girl! Yaaaaasssss!!” Big Boss, both the film and album, drop on May 12.
