Keke Palmer is regarded as one of the most talented women in America. She has achieved a lot in the last decade thus her successes are clear documentation of it. Though now a mother, she does not seem to have plans of chasing more success in the music and movie world. Keke as many media houses have cited was first adored in the movie Akeela Spelling movie and has been a fantastic piece of breath of air. She served as an inspiration to many women and children basically because of her warmth. We love her dearly however this piece of writing seeks to answer why the gorgeous woman is not in any relationship now. So let’s get into that as soon as possible.
Now Palmer had been in a relationship with a man by the name of Darius Jackson for a while hence it was no surprise when she bore a child for him. This child happens to be this man’s first hence it was understandable to see him mostly with the child. During this period Keke went about her daily routine securing the bag both for herself and her man according to numerous reports. Her love for her was without question if PDA on her socials were anything to go by. From sharing pictures on the Gram to being goofy and playful in public, things seem to be going extremely smoothly in their relationship. However, things recently took an interesting turn when Keke decided to have a good time on a night out without the man of her dreams while as always he looked after their kid at their apartment.
Keke’s plans to go out were already made public after her dress was posted by this same boyfriend on the night. It was a nice night out until snippets of the event flooded Twitter. With the hashtag Keke trending on Twitter, many including Weekynuuz knew we were in for a long day. Now the highlight of that video was Keke being called out by performing act Usher on stage. To be honest it was a lovely gesture by the male singer to spot an equally talented songstress and dance with her while singing to her in addition. What many weren’t ready or prepared for was the series of tweets that were to come from Keke’s man the following day. She had been partying all night and now her video with Usher was also gaining popularity. This like any other boyfriend or partner did not excite Darius who then proceeded to Twitter to make this extremely clear. Most of his complaints were about why Palmer was seen dancing with another man dressed in a manner that was not pleasant for a mother figure in his child’s life. This was a perfect take from a dad however his submission seemed to have triggered many fans online and engagements on his tweet shot up rapidly.

Many of the tweeps did not understand the fact that he chose to come on social media and make it public when he could have waited for Keke to come home for a much better in-depth discussion. Others argued that he was a bit immature about the whole issue because it was just a dance and that he overreacted. Darius who had kept his relationship with Keke from the public until 2021 felt he needed the world to hear him out since at this point he began taking jabs from alpha men in his circle concerning Keke’s actions. Many argued that Keke knowing her man’s past job as a fitness trainer was also something she dealt with over the years hence this was a normal scenario for the actress.
This online altercation has currently led to distancing himself from the actress at the time of this post. Was it necessary for Darius to have brought this issue online? We don’t agree but he felt pressured to reply to keep his sanity. Keke herself was recently captured on stage indicating that she needed no man and that she was more motivated to be financially stable hence she was down with the idea of a breakup herself. Well sadly society is shifting towards an era where a woman feels a man is not needed in her life even when a child is involved and that is a sad fact. Keke’s man had a point in there but her engagements online affected her rebuttal and eventual split. Now that there is a broken home it’s the child that will endure all this needless havoc caused by her parents. However with that out of the way we chanced on an interesting post from a fan who had a truly piercing opinion about this whole conundrum.
He wrote
“…Okay… Final thoughts… For all the guys (and surprisingly the women) who don’t understand what’s wrong with the whole Darius Whoever & KeKe Palmer situation… It doesn’t matter to any one of us what she wore to the Usher concert or what she did at the Usher concert… The issue is that her boyfriend tried to publicly shame and chastise her. This is a NO, NO! “Praise in Public, Rebuke in Private.” That’s one of the Top 3 relationship tenets to live by. Now, personally, as a strong Black husband who is the provider and protector of my family, I feel his actions are an even bigger slight to KeKe because he is not her husband and is showing that he may not be husband material. Instead of protecting her publicly, he attacked her. And instead of providing emotional security, he brought undue stress during a time in her life when she was seeking affirmation of her postpartum looks. Now, if you’re going to be the head of a family and assume the role of Husband then you need to AT LEAST protect her and provide emotional security if you’re not able to provide financial security. And to everyone who is bothered by us having opinions about this and discussing it on social media… Darius invited us into this situation”.
Now, we kind of love this because these issues should be privately dealt with hence we validate this point as well in our submission. In a recent interview posted by Pop Crave, Kiki again raised rumors about her reconciliation with Darius with a cheeky “mind your business reply” directed to her online inlaws. Even seasoned couples like Kanye and Bianca Censori, Taylor Swiftly and Travis Kelce, or even Jay Z and Beyonce often get into it hence it’s a normal phenomenon in 2024. Now they say love is not a perfect thing hence we all have the right to make mistakes and learn from them swiftly to avoid breakups. Well, we wish Darius and more especially Keke well and we hope both heal from this unfortunate situation. To onlookers, never bring your love life out in the open for some public validation.
Because once you do so, you open the door for opinions of all sorts. Some may be good and others may also be bad hence staying anonymous with your significant other will always be the best strategy for a long-lasting relationship. Stay low-key, flourish with each other, and trust us at Weekynuzz, it will all be worth it.
