Keke Palmer’s partner amassed quite a lot of haters in the past week due to his comment that publicly shamed Keke over her choice of outfit. Fans are outraged over Keke’s non-celeb partner, who seems full of contradictions.
The man in question, Darius Daulton Jackson, is the brother of ‘Insecure’ actor Sarunas Jackson who has also been dragged into the controversy. Fans of Keke have pointed out that both brothers share the slimeball gene.
As the controversy began, people became increasingly interested in finding out about Darius, who shamed Keke. So here we are with all the answers to your queries regarding Darius Jackson.
What Is Dariun Jackson?
Darius Jackson is the father of Keke Palmer’s child. He is also the brother of the actor Sarunas Jackson. Darius currently works as a fitness instructor at Inspire Studios for a living. The LinkedIn profile of Darius mentions that he has worked in the entertainment and fitness industry. According to some reports, his net worth is between $500,000 to $1 million.
Darius’ gym bio reads:
“Growing up in a sports environment motivated him to get into sports media where he is currently pursuing his career in and received a certificate in broadcasting. His motivation to be an instructor is to help others and himself to stay in shape as he enjoys being in a team-oriented environment. It is also where that he feels comfortable to be himself.”
Jackson and Keke reportedly met in 2021 and had an on-and-off relationship since then. Both deleted their couple’s posts sometime in March 2022. Later the same year, Keke decided to go public about her relationship.
In December 2022, Keke revealed that she was pregnant in an episode of Saturday Night Live. Her announcement included a cheery: “People have been in my comments saying ‘Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant.’ “And I want to set the record straight — I am!” In February 2023, the couple announced their baby’s name, Leodis Andrellton Jackson.
Keke and Darius are not married and have not revealed any further plans regarding the next level of their relationship.
As Jackson came under fire for tweeting, “It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” Keke has not made any statement regarding the matter yet. Just to clear things up, the comment was made after a video of Usher serenading to Keke in a concert was posted.
In the concert, Keke was wearing a sheer black outfit which showed the black bodysuit that she wore underneath and accentuated her curves. She was also seen grooving to the music as Usher approached the group.
Numerous tweets have pointed out the faults in Darius’ behavior. Some commented that since he is not even her husband, he should not interfere in her affairs. Others are of the opinion that it’s just jealousy acting out since Keke Palmer has a net worth of $7.5 million as opposed to Darius’ $500,000.
What all of us can agree on is that publicly calling out Keke was a bad idea. If Darius had any problem with her outfit and attitude, it could have been discussed in private rather than bringing the celeb down on a social media platform.
