Keke Palmer’s Boyfriend And Baby Daddy Darius Jackson Seems To Delete Twitter
It appears that Keke Palmer’s boyfriend, Darius Jackson, has decided to step away from Twitter after he faced significant backlash for his comments regarding Keke’s choice of attire at a recent Usher concert in Las Vegas.
On Wednesday night, Darius, a fitness instructor and former college football player, took to Twitter to criticize Keke’s outfit, which consisted of a black bodysuit under a sheer dress. He quoted a tweet featuring a video of Keke dancing with Usher, commenting, “It’s the outfit tho… you a mom.”
Expanding on his perspective in a subsequent tweet, Darius 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.”
Defending his stance, the 29-year-old added, “This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.”
After that, he appeared to delete his Twitter account according to PEOPLE.
While Keke has not yet responded publicly to Darius’ remarks, she did share photos of her outfit on Instagram later that evening, stating, “I wish I had taken more pictures but we were running late!”
She then went on to praise Usher and encourage her followers to attend his show.
The mom of one shared a variety of shots, including one where she leaned into the camera and blew a kiss. She also showcased her curves in the sheer dress, providing close-up images of the outfit’s top and a bathroom mirror shot accentuating her figure.
The Bossy star openly discussed her relationship with Darius during an appearance on The Tamron Hall Show in November 2021. She revealed that it became challenging to conceal their bond, stating, “We spend all this time together, and he really is my closest friend, so it just becomes a thing where I’m not gonna hide something that makes me happy.”
Palmer announced her pregnancy with Jackson on her hosting debut on Saturday Night Live in December, and the couple welcomed their son, Leodis “Leo” Andrellton, in February.
To celebrate Father’s Day, Palmer shared a heartfelt tribute to Jackson on Instagram, combining videos and photos of him with their son. She praised his qualities, writing, “Congrats Mr. Man, Leodis and I are so very happy to have such a fun, kind, responsible, dependable, and supportive man like you in our lives.”
Palmer continued to express her admiration, saying, “You wanted to be a dad maybe more than I wanted to be a mother, and that’s saying a lot because I’ve ALWAYS wanted to be a mother. I love this for us, but I really love it for Leo! God bless you, darling, thank you for being in our lives.”
While the controversy surrounding Keke’s outfit choice and Darius’ public reaction continues to stir debate on social media, Darius’ seeming decision to step away from social media is the latest development in this unfolding story.
