Triple threat Keke Palmer indirectly threw shade at her baby daddy during her performance at Broccoli City Fest on Saturday, July 15, in Washington, D.C.
Videos of the shade surfaced on TikTok, showing Keke killing her performance of her 2018 track, “Bossy.” But fans couldn’t help but notice that the former Nickelodeon actress remixed the lyrics.
She subtly and obliquely addressed the elephant on the internet regarding her jealous 28-year-old boyfriend, Darius Jackson, who recently publicly criticized her for her outfit at an Usher concert.
Tweaking the original lyrics,” Lil booty’s matter, don’t need a lot of a**,” a hyped Keke sang her new and potent lyrics, referencing her newborn son, s.
“Lil booty’s matter. My son gave me some a**. I’m my own boss, and I got my own cash. I don’t need a n***a, only thing I need’s a bag.”
@kliggco Keke said this with her WHOLE CHEST. 🔥🤭 IKTR #kekepalmer #broccolicityfestival #bcfest23 #broccolicityfestival2023 #broccolicityfestival🥦 #kekepalmerchallenge #kekepalmerboyfriend ♬ original sound – K Ligg
Fans supported the singer in the comments.
“She said what she said.”
“Happy for her, and I wish we can get to a point where BW choose better for themselves. Waiting on Halle.”
“Yes, Mothaaaa Keke! She said, ‘Embarrass me? You TRIED!”
“Yes, maaaaaaaam, I heard that! He knew who she was when he got with her. Been a boss since 10 yo.”
“Y’all seeing that other side of a Virgo now.”
“D**n, I almost apologized.”
“[And] don’t let her have to say it again. Y’all heard her!!!”
“Go on, Keke! Show these women how to be strong and keep moving when it’s hard times. I love you, girl, and I look up to you, and I’m older!”
The drama between Keke and Darius brewed after Keke was spotted serving looks as Usher serenaded her with “There Goes My Baby,” Sis2Sis reported.
Jealous Darius took to Twitter to bash the mother of his child for her outfit, which was a sheer black dress over a bodysuit.
“It’s the outfit tho… you a mom,” he wrote, gaining much criticism for having the audacity to disrespect his woman by criticizing her in public instead of sharing his concerns privately.
He then attempted to strengthen his point, only making himself look more like an a**.
“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. This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals for what I believe. I rest my case,” he wrote.
We’re still waiting for Mother Keke to address the situation directly or roast his behind. Either one!
