Keke Palmer isn’t going to let anything dull her sparkle—not even her boyfriend, Darius Jackson.
The Big Boss director recently found herself at the center of some online drama involving Jackson, who publicly criticized an outfit she wore to one of Usher’s shows in Las Vegas.
In case you missed it, Jackson—who shares infant son Leodis with the Nickelodeon alum—blatantly outfit-shamed Palmer’s look for the event, after she showed up wearing a fully sheer dress with just a black bodysuit underneath.
“It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” Jackson wrote in a post on his since-deleted Twitter account, igniting backlash from Palmer’s fans who found the comment inappropriate and entirely disrespectful.
But now, the Nope actress seems to have come to her own defense, dropping a new TikTok video that appears to be clap back at all the drama.
In the new video shared on Friday, July 7, Palmer let her dancing do the talking as she performed a routine to an audio clip of herself stating in a previous interview, “You ain’t stopping what’s going on with me, sweetheart. So if you gon act up, I’m bouta link up.”
The sound bite was made into a remix, which served as the beat for Palmer’s video, as she mouthed the sassy words from the clip before delivering a fierce dance performance.
Her fans were immediately hyped up to see Palmer, 29, standing up for herself—and doing so in her usual witty, boss-lady way.
“The Queen has spoken 😅😂,” one TikTok user wrote in the comments.
“Keke is a force, and you can’t stop a force,” someone else added.
“YOU BETTER LET HIM KNOW!!!!!” wrote another fan, who was living for the shade sent Jackson’s way.
“THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO RESPOND TO A MAN WHOS ACTIN UP,” another comment read.
“You’re so iconic,” someone else wrote, while another called Palmer the “mother of mothers”—and they’re not wrong!
