Darius Jackson isn’t backing down on his stance after he criticized the outfit his girlfriend, Keke Palmer, wore for Usher’s Las Vegas concert.
“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,” the father of one tweeted on Wednesday following fan backlash.
“This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe,” he continued. “I rest my case.”
The former fitness instructor, 29, initially raised eyebrows when he publicly shamed his girlfriend — whom he dubbed as “his wife” — for her outfit of choice.
“It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” he commented on a video from the concert.
In the video, Palmer wore a sheer black dress over a matching thong bodysuit as she and the R&B singer embraced and sang “There Goes My Baby.”
Fans quickly snapped back at Jackson’s follow-up tweet, with one user calling the latest remarks a product of “little man syndrome.”
“This tweet is more embarrassing to your family than the outfit was,” a second wrote.
A third slammed Jackson’s choice to take his woes to Twitter, writing, “publicly embarrassing [sic] your partner is lame.”
However, it seems the “Nope” star and her beau’s feud just sparked today, as Palmer was just gushing over Jackson on Tuesday.
For more Page Six you love …
“Not tryna be the person but… I love my man.(PERIODT!) 😭” she wrote via Twitter.
Palmer, also 29, has not yet publicly commented on her boyfriend’s remarks.
Page Six also reached out to Palmer’s rep, but did not immediately receive a response.
Palmer and Jackson welcomed their son Leodis in February.
The two met at a 2021 Memorial Day party, going Instagram official by August.
In 2022, Palmer said she went public with Jackson because they were “so happy” together, it became “more difficult to hide” their relationship.
“We spend all this time together,” she said on the Tamron Hall show in 2022. “And he’s really my closest friend, so it just becomes a thing where I’m not gonna hide something that makes me happy.”
“My job is my job, but at the end of the day, hey, this is somebody that is important to me, so, hey, why not?” she concluded.
