A video of American singer Usher "serenading" Keke Palmer and her long-time partner and baby daddy Darius Jackson criticizing her outfit has sparked hilarious reactions online. On July 5, 29-year-old Jackson took to his Twitter handle to retweet a video of Palmer, from outlet RNB Radar dressed, in a s*xy outfit and seemingly shamed her for it.
In the video, Keke Palmer can be seen wrapping her arms around Usher's neck as he sang a version of his hit song There Goes My Baby and placed his hand on her lower back as he entertained the audience.
The Nope star can be seen dressed in a black sheer dress, worn over a bodysuit as the duo enjoyed the atmosphere.
While internet users slammed Darius for his reaction to Keke Palmer's dress, some internet users also reacted hilariously to the situation, with one of them commenting:

After Darius Jackson's reaction to Keke Palmer and Usher's video went viral, Twitterati reacted hilariously. Several users shared memes and GIFs on how Jackson would be feeling at the time when he saw the viral video.

Darius Jackson defended his comments on Keke Palmer's dress at Usher's concert
After facing criticism for his remarks on Keke Palmer's sheer black dress at Usher's Las Vegas residency, Darius Jackson took to his Twitter handle to double down on his thoughts, stating that he has "standards & morals" that he believes in.
Stressing the reason of his remarks to be his "family and representation," Jackson said:
"We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is."
Palmer and Jackson have always kept their relationship under wraps, until November 2021 when she appeared on an episode of The Tamron Hall Show and spoke about her beau.
"We spend all this time together, and he really is my closest friend, so it just becomes a thing where I'm not gonna hide something that makes me happy. It's not gonna be everything you see, my job is my job. But at the end of the day this is somebody that is important to me so why not."
The controversy surrounding her clothes comes after Palmer and Darius Jackson welcomed their first child together. The Hustlers star confirmed her pregnancy news when she hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in December 2022.
The duo welcomed their son, Leodis, in February 2023 and confirmed the news via her official Instagram handle.
