Keke Palmer has subtle response to co-parent Darius Jackson's shade: 'I'm a motha'

Keke Palmer had a subtle comeback to Darius Jackson, father of her son Leodis, criticizing her for an outfit choice.

The "Nope" actress, 29, attended Usher's Las Vegas residency on Wednesday, wearing a black bodysuit under a sheer dress. In response to a video of her being serenaded by the "There Goes My Baby" singer, Jackson tweeted, "It’s the outfit tho .. you a mom."

Palmer monetized Jackson's remarks with the launch of "I'm a motha" T-shirts on Friday.

To advertise, the singer shared a video on Instagram as she sang a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s "Isn’t She Lovely" to her baby.

"One thing is certain and one thing is true, IM A MOTHA, through and through!" Palmer caption the post.

She added: "To all my mom’s out there, how did your baby change you?? Mine empowered me! On such another level, my perspective changed because when my baby is good I’m GREAT! Look at that face! Gratitude galore."

Palmer also released "I'm Stevie to the (BS)" T-shirts, a reference to a recent episode of her "Baby, This Is Keke Palmer" podcast.

During the episode, Palmer was asked by her mom Sharon and Jackson how she would react if there were rumors that her partner cheated. "She could be standing next to you in a picture … I'm blind. I'm Stevie Wonder to the (BS)," she said. "Whatever that we going through, we're talking about that in the closet."

Jackson received criticism for doubling down on his comments about Palmer's outfit, later tweeting, "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," he wrote. "I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case."

Keke Palmer, Darius Jackson and the problem with his very public comments

Palmer had another shady response to Jackson on Friday, posting a TikTok video of her dancing to an audio clip of herself saying, "So if you gonna act up, I'm about to link up."

The line referenced an interview she gave with Them in June while discussing her fluid sexuality and relationships with men. "I got millions of buckets to choose from, sweetheart. … So if you gonna act up, I’m about to link up with her."

It's unclear if Palmer and Jackson are still in a relationship or have split.
