The
Keke
Palmer
/
Darius
Jackson
drama
hit
another
level,
and
poor
Usher
is
caught
a
stray
for
no
reason
after
Keke’s
momma
brought
up
the
singer’s
name
during
a
recorded
phone
conversation.
Spotted
on
HipHopDX,
Keke
Palmer’s
mother,
Sharon
Palmer,
is
now
copping
pleas
after
claiming
Usher
was
“gay”
and
now
says
she
only
said
that
to
protect
her
daughter.
Her
allegations
came
during
a
recording
of
an
intense
phone
call
with
her
daughter’s
ex-boyfriend,
Darius
Jackson,
which
surfaced
online
on
Wednesday,
November
15,
following
allegations
of
Jackson
being
abusive
towards
Keke
Palmer.
Per
HipHopDX:
During
the
heated
conversation,
Palmer
can
be
heard
yelling
at
Jackson
for
“harassing”
her
daughter,
calling
him
a
“dick
sucker”
and
saying
he
has
“mental
problems.”
She
also
references
the
incident
that
sparked
issues
between
the
couple
(at
least
in
the
public
eye):
the
viral
clip
of
the
Nope
star
dancing
with
Usher
during
the
singer’s
Las
Vegas
residency
earlier
this
year.
“Usher
is
gay!”
she
exclaimed.
“You
and
your
stupid-ass
family,
y’all
don’t
even
understand
business.
Usher’s
gay,
guys.”
Sharon
Palmer
Quickly
Clarifies
Why
She
Lied
About
Usher’s
Sexuality
As
expected,
the
recording
went
viral
on
social
media
and
was
picked
up
by
multiple
news
outlets.
Sharon
Palmer
quickly
ran
to
Instagram
to
explain
her
“lie”
about
Usher’s
sexuality
after
saying
she
was
worried
about
her
daughter’s
“safety.”
“The
lie
I
told
about
Usher
was
to
get
Darius
to
stop
abusing
my
daughter
on
account
of
his
jealousy,”
she
wrote
in
a
comment
on
The
Neighborhood
Talk’s
page,
as
reported
by
HipHopDX.
“So
I
said
he
didn’t
like
women
for
her
SAFETY.”
“Everything
else
I
meant
with
my
chest
and
didn’t
expect
anyone
to
hear
it
because
recording
me
is
illegal.
I
guess
he
is
okay
with
jail
but
I
knew
that
when
he
put
his
hands
on
my
daughter.
He
is
still
abusing
her
in
all
of
this,
trying
to
paint
himself
as
a
victim.
Textbook
behavior.”
Damn,
Usher
didn’t
do
anything
but
give
Keke
Palmer
an
experience
at
his
show.
