Keke Palmer has spoken out after her boyfriend shared some polarizing remarks about her risque outfit choice at Usher's concert.

The 29-year-old Nope actress attended the R&B hitmaker's Las Vegas residency over the weekend and shared a heartwarming moment with the singer as he serenaded her at his show.

In a viral video posted on social media, Palmer can be seen embracing the 44-year-old 'My Boo' vocalist as he sang his track 'There Goes My Baby' in a sheer black dress that exposed her bodysuit underneath.

The pair swayed together in the VIP section, and the former Nickelodeon star even gave the Grammy-winning star a little twirl to show off her sultry look.

Check out Palmer's look below:

Upon seeing the video, Palmer's partner, Darius Jackson - who is the father of her four-month-old son - slammed her outfit, writing: "It’s the outfit tho... you a mom."

The 29-year-old immediately faced backlash online as the actress' fans were shocked that he apparently publicly shamed her, rather than addressing the issue in private.

However, despite being heavily criticized on the social media platform, Jackson continued to stand by his words as he later wrote: "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 to what I believe. I rest my case," he added.

The father-of-one also responded to a fan who empathized with him and advised him to keep his thoughts away from Twitter as people aren't "rational" on the social media platform.

"Last tweet of the day for sure. That's for the real one to understand," he replied.

While the Hustlers actress didn't respond to her baby father's comments, she went ahead and posted pictures from Usher's concert on Instagram - including several photos of her outfit.

She captioned the post: "I wish I had taken more pictures but we were running late! I am telling y’all right now, if you haven’t seen @usher YOU MUST GO!! HE WAS SO FABULOUS!! Giving theater, Atlanta downnn, tips and tricks and just absolutely iconic.

"I was truly inspired as a performer. I whooped some a** in spades too! Where is that pic of us all together with the King himself??", she added.

Fans and famous faces flooded the comments section with praise for the actress. The R&B singer himself said: "The Big Boss!! Thank U for coming," while musician H.E.R penned: "You look AMAAAZING."

One fan declared: "An insecure man will always [be] intimidated by a VERY secure woman! You look amazing and I hope you feel just as good!"

And, a second user added: "So what’s the fuss about? She looks damn good! This is a full-body suit not showing anything out of the norm. Sometimes ppl just love unnecessary drama!"

The couple first met back in 2021 at a Memorial Day party and went Instagram official by August. Two years later, they announced on the social media platform that they had welcomed a baby boy named Leodis Andrellton Jackson.

While there is no confirmation on their current relationship status, it seems like Jackson may be in Palmer's bad books as she has apparently unfollowed him on Instagram, according to Metro.
