Keke Palmer's partner, Darius Jackson, has reemerged on social media following backlash over his remarks about her see-through attire. Jackson, 29, discreetly deactivated his Instagram and Twitter accounts on Thursday, July 6, soon after causing uproar online for casting shade at Palmer, also 29. Being in a relationship with Palmer since 2021, Jackson was evidently displeased with the revealing dress she donned at a recent Usher concert in Las Vegas.

"It's all about the attire...you're a mother," he tweeted on Wednesday, July 5, sharing a video of Palmer's dance performance at the show.

In a follow-up tweet, Jackson expressed, "We are living in an era where husbands and fathers do not desire their wives and the mothers of their children to flaunt their buttocks for the sake of pleasing others. Yet, they are labeled as haters when they voice their concerns. This represents my family and my values. I adhere to a set of principles and beliefs. My argument stands."

Social media users swiftly responded to the controversy, criticizing Jackson for publicly shaming Palmer's outfit choice.

In a now-deleted TikTok video, Aoki, the daughter of Kimora Lee Simmons, expressed her strong dislike for Jackson, stating that she does not know Palmer's boyfriend well, but she harbors intense animosity towards him. Aoki expressed her disgust and stated that she prays for his downfall. The revelation of his actions left her appalled and without any respect for him. Aoki even expressed her desire to physically confront him, emphasizing her strong disapproval.

Palmer has not commented on the drama publicly. Observant fans noticed that all of Jackson's previous posts featuring Palmer appear to have been removed from his profiles after Jackson returned to Twitter and Instagram. The most recent photo Jackson uploaded in June is a solo picture of him with their son, Leodis Andrellton, whom they welcomed in February.

Palmer and Jackson were initially linked in the summer of 2021, almost two years before announcing their pregnancy.

"There have been rumors circulating, with people commenting on my posts and claiming that I am expecting a baby. Well, I am here to set the record straight," she humorously announced in her monologue on Saturday Night Live in December 2022, proudly revealing her baby bump for the first time. "To be honest, I was initially trying to keep this news under wraps because I have a lot going on. Every time someone congratulated me, I had to shush them and ask them to hold off until my liquor sponsorship deal was finalized. Once the payment clears, then we can focus on planning the baby shower!"

She continued by expressing her overwhelming joy, saying, "But honestly, this is truly a blessing and I couldn't be more thrilled. Yes, I am going to be a mother! Some people may have reservations about me becoming a parent considering my background as a child actor. However, let me assure you, I am 29, I am an adult, and I engage in all the responsibilities and activities that come with adulthood, including having a home and a healthy sex life."

Palmer disregarded her boyfriend's criticism and proceeded to share additional photos from her night out in Las Vegas. Numerous celebrities have now commented on the Instagram post, praising her remarkable physique after giving birth.

"Can I wear this outfit, @keke? If it makes me feel even a fraction as confident and amazing as you look and feel in it after having a baby, I'm all in," Jessie J, who gave birth to her son Sky in May, exclaimed on Friday, July 7. "You are radiating beauty and serving as an inspiration. You are a strong mother, a successful individual, and a shining star."

Usher, 44, also replied to the post: “The Big Boss!! Thank U for coming .”
