Usher and Keke Palmer don’t dance around baby-daddy drama in new video

Keke Palmer has positively bought it unhealthy for Usher.

At the least that’s the pot-stirring plot of Usher’s new “Boyfriend” video, which premiered Wednesday. Within the clip, the “Nope” actress fantasizes concerning the “Love in This Membership” singer.

If that sounds acquainted, it’s clearly a ribbing response to final month’s baby-daddy drama when Palmer’s then-partner, health teacher Darius Jackson, took to social media to criticize the sheer, body-baring ensemble during which she slow-danced with Usher at his Las Vegas residency final month.

“It’s the outfit tho … you a mother,” tweeted Jackson, who is the father of Palmer’s 5-month-old son, Leodis “Leo” Andrellton Jackson.

He then went on to further mom-shame Palmer by tweeting that he “doesn’t need the spouse & mom to his children to showcase booty cheeks to please others.”

Nicely, with the couple having split up within the midst of the ensuing social media storm, Jackson’s ex doesn’t precisely flip the opposite cheek in Usher’s new video.

The clip begins with Palmer lip-syncing to Usher’s single — a summery, immediately catchy bop — with a few Champagne-sipping girlfriends.

Then a shirtless Usher — trying as chiseled as ever — reveals up because the do-ragged, gold-chained object of Palmer’s need, singing, “In your head, ’trigger I’m not in your mattress/You simply think about it, keep dreaming about me.”

As Usher croons about how she’s “loving me on the low,” Palmer then makes like her fantasy man in a dance sequence that takes them twirling to the on line casino ground. Actually, the video was filmed on the Park MGM, the place the singer’s Vegas residency is held, and the NoMad Las Vegas.

After the 2 twinsies admire their matching outfits, the subsequent scene finds Palmer waking up from what’s clearly an attractive dream. However she’s overslept and missed a present — presumably Usher’s.

“Dammit!” she exclaims. “I’m so drained. , I’m a mom, in any case.”
