*Keke Palmer is speaking out about the fallout with her baby daddy Darius Jackson after his viral response to her moment with Usher last year at the singer’s concert in Las Vegas.
While promoting her new book, “Master of Me,” Palmer told PEOPLE that there “was a lot going on” behind the scenes with Jackson at the time of the Usher romance rumors. The superstar is speaking out about what happened when she attended the R&B crooner’s concert last year and the fallout with her ex.
When video went viral showing Palmer wearing a sheer dress to the concert, Jackson reacted on social media, writing, “It’s the outfit tho . . . you a mom.”
“I was speechless,” KeKe said of the wild online reaction to Darius’ candid comments.
“I was at a photo shoot and everybody was looking all weird. I was like, ‘Are y’all good?’ And then I randomly was on my phone and I saw,” she added. “It was so crazy. I didn’t want to engage with something that wasn’t reality and fan the fire.”

Palmer continued, “I was just at a concert, doing what I do as an entertainer, creating a fun moment. How it became a storyline that me and Usher are in love, I don’t know.”
The actress and entrepreneur attributes the strain in her relationship with Jackson to the pressures and stress of adjusting to parenthood. The former couple shares a one-year-old son, Leodis.
“It’s just been a monkey on my back all my life. I’m used to it. But I’ve always known, and not just with my romantic relationships, but with my family, with my friends. Fame has always become a burden,” Palmer explained.
“I live a very basic life, but fame would make you think that I go to the Usher concert and pull him off the stage and have him wrapped around my finger,” she explained. “You might think that, but it’s like, ‘Girl, I’m just like every other mama going out for a night.’”
Palmer added, “I cannot control how people perceive me. I can only control how I show up.”
