Fans call Keke Palmer and Usher collab \u201cbrilliant\u201d after Darius Jackson moves on YouTube: UsherKeke Palmer and Usher decided to collaborate on a new song, despite her ex-boyfriend\u2019s disapproval of the way Keke carries herself \u2013 and fans are here for it. Usher is known for serenading female celebrities while performing his residency in Las Vegas, so when Keke Palmer was in the audience, he knew just what to do. However, Keke isn\u2019t the only celebrity that Usher has approached while singing in front of thousands of fans at his concerts, as he\u2019s propositioned women like Saweetie and Winnie Harlow, as well. Though the R&B singer does this all in good fun, Keke\u2019s then-boyfriend Darius Jackson didn\u2019t take well to his baby\u2019s mother dancing and singing on stage in a risqu\u00e9 outfit with another man. Despite Keke\u2019s now ex-boyfriend not approving of the playful incident, Keke and Usher have chosen to capitalize on their viral encounter on stage. Keke Palmer stars in Usher\u2019s new music video for his song \u2018Boyfriend\u2019 After Usher\u2019s July 4 concert in Las Vegas where he and Keke danced and sang on stage, Keke\u2019s boyfriend at the time tweeted his flabbergasted opinion of Keke, as she was in an outfit that the retired NFL running back didn\u2019t approve of. Darius went as far as tweeting that he had morals that didn\u2019t align with Keke\u2019s decision, saying, \u201cThis is my family and my representation. I have standards and morals to what I believe. I rest my case.\u201d Though Darius has reportedly moved on and is focusing on his health, as he recently posted to social media clips of himself working out, Keke is busy making her own business moves, as this morning, Usher released a music video featuring Keke called \u2018Boyfriend.\u2019 In his new song, Usher opened up with the lyrics, \u201cSomebody said that your boyfriend\u2019s looking for me, if that\u2019s cool, that\u2019s cool. Well, he should know I\u2019m pretty easy to find. Just look for me wherever he sees you.\u201d The music video itself is a diss towards Keke\u2019s ex, as the whole concept of the video is about a woman who slept through Usher\u2019s concert and dreamt about the opportunity of singing with him. Keke even went as far as reiterating her iconic phrase in the song, saying, \u201cS\u2014t, I\u2019m so tired\u2026 I am a mother, after all,\u201d while winking at the camera. After the clip of Keke in Usher\u2019s music video went viral, fans took to Reddit to call the collaboration \u201cbrilliant\u201d and \u201cso clever.\u201d Fans even credited Keke for being the \u201cQueen\u201d of pettiness for starring alongside Usher after the controversy surrounding her and Darius. Another fan shared their support for Keke, saying, \u201cThis is f\u2014ing amazing. I\u2019m so sorry. That\u2019s how you put a controlling man in his place.\u201d Since the release of Usher\u2019s song and music video \u2018Boyfriend,\u2019 Keke has taken to Instagram to share her gratitude towards him, saying, \u201cThank you for encouraging me and seeing me as the entertainer I am.\u201d Though Keke and Darius are no longer dating, they will be co-parenting their infant son together. Keke nor Darius have yet to comment on their current situation-ship after Usher\u2019s release \u2013 but one thing is for sure, and it\u2019s that Keke is in her bag and ready to work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
