Netizens have been buzzing about the borderline hostile comment of the father of Keke Palmer’s child on Twitter. In the post, Darius shames Keke’s outfit by implying that she is a mother and should not wear revealing clothes.
While Darius is getting cornered by endless tweets, his brother Sarunas Jackson has not been left alone either. Who are the Jackson brothers duo? Why is Sarunas Jackson being dragged into the Keke Usher controversy? Read on to know more.
Keke Palmer and Usher Incident Explained
Recently, Keke Palmer was filmed grooving at an Usher concert in Las Vegas. Usher was serenading the lady by singing his hit track, There Goes My Baby. Palmer was seen wearing a sheer black outfit through which her black bodycon suit underneath was visible.
Usher approached the group of ladies, including Keke, and began singing to them as Keke and he hugged and sang a few lines together. However, none of this was noticeable until the father of Keke’s child, Darius Jackson, commented on Twitter highlighting the video.
Darius retweeted the post with the caption, “It’s the outfit tho..you a mom.” This has made the Internet explode as a man who has not even married Keke publicly shares a negative opinion of her clothing choices.
In his next post, Darius claims that in this generation, a family man who doesn’t want their wife to show her body to please others is hated by everyone.
Thus, Twitter users took it upon themselves to dig through Darius’ history of tweets to bring out all the problematic things he has said in the past.
Many people have called Darius out as just a jealous guy who got mad due to the attention Keke was getting from someone else. A video Darius posted of Keke in another skin-tight suit showing off her butt was also highlighted.
Who Is Darius Jackson?
Darius Jackson’s claim to fame is being the brother of actor Sarunas Jackson. He is also the father of Keke Palmer’s child, and they have been dating since 2021. Darius is currently working on his acting career after having experience as a fitness instructor at Inspire Fitness Studio.
Darius and Keke have been dating on and off since 2021. Later that year, Keke went public about her relationship, despite being a very private person. In March 2022, Keke stated in an interview that this was the happiest she had ever felt with someone, so she didn’t want to hide him. “That’s a lot more work than just living in my life and being in my life.”
In December 2022, Palmer revealed her pregnancy on an episode of Saturday Night Live. Their baby son is named Leodie Andrelton Jackson and was born in February 2023.
Who Is Sarunas Jackson?
Sarunas Jackson is an established actor and is best known for his role as Alejandro ‘Dro’ Peña on Insecure. He has also played different roles in Made for Love and Chi-Raq. He is the brother of Darius Jackson, the baby daddy of Keke Palmer.
Sarunas was also a basketball player in college but later pursued an acting career instead of waiting to enter the NBA draft.
How Is Sarunas Jackson Related to the Keke-Usher-Darius Controversy?
Sarunas Jackson is unrelated to the controversy involving Keke Palmer at the Usher concert. It was his brother, Darius Jackson, who tweeted, “It’s the outfit tho..you a mom.” in response to Keke wearing a sheer outfit at the Usher concert. However, Netizens have dragged Sarunas into the mess as both the brothers are considered toxic.
It is to be noted that Sarunas is not a complete saint, as netizens are referring to his past scandal. Sarunas Jackson was revealed to be the father of DomiNque Perry’s daughter, Zen, in 2018. Soon afterward, Kaylen Zahara went online to blast the actor for dating her without informing her that he was having a child.
However, both Kaylen and Sarunas had a discussion together, after which Kaylen changed her tune by saying they had patched things up. According to the Insecure co-actress, “It’s about hearing people out, understanding situations.” The sudden shift in attitude left people wondering what exactly had happened in their conversation.
With Sarunas having a shady history and Darius disrespecting his wife in public, people are furious over the duo. While Sarunas is uninvolved in the Keke and Usher controversy, people can’t help but point out his scandal as he is related to Darius.
In response to the hate he is receiving, Sarunas posted a tweet saying, “Damn, we not the same man lol.. I literally haven’t been having sex and been inside.. why am I catching strays?” His Twitter, however, has been temporarily restricted.
Keke has not commented on the incident yet, but netizens are curious to know what the celeb thinks of Darius policing her body in public.
