Who Is Your ‘Boyfriend’? After The Darius Jackson Fiasco, Keke Palmer Appears In An Usher MV

Keke Palmer

The beginning of Keke Palmer’s dream came after she performed at Usher’s LV residency and received criticism from her ex-boyfriend Jackson. Keke Palmer and Usher collaborated on the summer’s biggest plot twist, “Boyfriend,” a brand-new song released on Wednesday. Not a hint to Darius and his divisive opinions about Palmer, am I right? The pair also made a music video to go along with the song. Usher and Palmer both posted clips on their socials from the “Boyfriend” clippings on Tuesday, which led to news of the surprise collaboration.

Keke Palmer Strikes Controversial Rumors Amid The Jackson Fiasco 

Palmer admires her co-star from “Hustlers”, so it only seems sensible that she would portray one in their video. She dances along with her girlfriends while lip-syncing his songs and dressing up for partying out. A lively dance sequence results from Palmer seeing her idol in an elevator. Usher and Keke Palmer do some impressive dance at a casino in Vegas while wearing matching ensembles that include loose trousers, aviators, white tees, and jackets.

Usher’s song, “I go wherever you go,” says as much. When Keke Palmer gets up again in her room, the dance routine abruptly comes to a stop. She slept in and missed the entire show. After saying, “I was so tired, and I’m a mother — after all,” she blinks and looks at the camera. Sounds recognizable?

How how does Jackson fit into this at this point? Everything began when, in July, a clip of Keke being hummed by Usher at his in-house performances went viral. The performers hugged one other as they sang along to Usher’s “There Goes My Baby.” Soon after, Darius, who had a child with Keke Palmer around February called out the “Nope” star’s skimpy, dress in response to the video.
