Keke Palmer seemingly remains unbothered by the internet drama involving her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, who publicly mom-shamed her last month.
On Tuesday, the Nope actor shared a clip on Instagram that teased her appearance in Ushers music video for his song Boyfriend, due out Wednesday.
In a 30-second YouTube preview of the video, Usher seems to be getting ready for a performance, while Palmer (a gifted singer in her own right) prepares to go out with friends. Somebody said that your boyfriends looking for me, Usher croons mischievously. Ooh, thats cool.
The recent real-life drama between Palmer and Jackson also involved an Usher performance.
Jackson was widely slammed for mom-shaming Palmer after he criticized the Nope actor for wearing a sheer Givenchy dress with a black bodysuit during an Usher concert in Las Vegas.
He shared a video on Twitter (now known as X) of Usher serenading Palmer. In a since-deleted tweet, Jackson wrote: Its the outfit tho.. you a mom.
He doubled down in a follow-up tweet: We live in a generation where a man of the family doesnt want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is.
This is my family & my representation, he continued. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.
Palmer didnt directly address the tweets at least publicly but she has dropped hints on social media that shes unbothered by Jacksons disapproval. Shortly after his tweets, Palmer posted several pictures of her outfit on Instagram, writing that she wished shed taken more pictures.
The current status of Palmer and Jacksons relationship is unclear. The two welcomed a son, Leodis, in February.

Last week, Usher weighed in on the whole imbroglio , telling People that it was simply a pop moment.
It was fun to have at least conversation going and we just keep it light, he said. I dont see anything negative happening in Las Vegas.
