Keke Palmer's Boyfriend Darius Jackson Faces Backlash After Shaming Her Sexy Outfit at Usher Concert
Darius Jackson, Keke Palmer's boyfriend and father of her baby, remains steadfast in his position regarding his public critique of her wardrobe choice for Usher's show, according to TMZ.
Despite facing significant backlash, he stands by his previous comments and argues that her decision to wear a revealing outfit reflects poorly on their family.
In a recent statement, Darius defended his initial remarks, acknowledging that he received backlash and was labeled a "hater" for expressing his opinion.
He emphasized that in today's generation, he believes it is important for a man in the family to discourage his wife and the mother of his children from showcasing revealing attire to please others.
Unapologetically, Darius asserted that his comments were rooted in his personal standards and moral beliefs.
He concluded by stating, "This is my family and my representation. I have standards and morals that I believe in. I rest my case."
The controversy began when Darius quote-tweeted a video of Keke wearing a sheer dress while being serenaded by Usher at his Las Vegas residency. He commented on the outfit, highlighting that she is a mother.
While Darius faces criticism for his comments, Keke Palmer has not responded publicly to the situation on social media.

Some Fans Think Darius Jackson Is Jealous of Keke Palmer and Usher's Video
Fans responded quickly to Darius Jackson's comments, speculating that his criticism of Keke Palmer's outfit may have stemmed from jealousy rather than solely focusing on her clothing choice, per Daily Mail.
In a video clip, Keke can be seen with her arms around Usher's neck while his hand rests on her lower back, which prompted some fans to question if Darius was more concerned about the interaction between Keke and Usher.
Critics swiftly condemned Jackson's statement, with one fan highlighting that Keke brings home the income, stating, "You're the 'man of the family,' but Keke is the one earning money. That's why you were at home while she was seeing Usher."
Another fan called out Jackson's alleged hypocrisy, pointing to a previous post where he proudly shared a picture of Keke flaunting her toned behind in a cheetah bodysuit, captioning it, "My son don transformed @keke."
The backlash continued, with additional comments addressing Darius' behavior, such as referring to him as a "Twitter incel" and expressing concern for Keke's choice of partner.
