Some said Usher’s music video featuring Keke Palmer was a petty response to her boyfriend’s criticism of her Las Vegas outfit. He says it was meant to be a “positive” spin on what happened. The video's release in August ignited a slew of social media comments about Darius Jackson, the father of Palmer's son, and his criticism of her outfit choice when she attended Usher's Las Vegas residency in July.
'We had this record, but we were trying to find something that I felt would be positive because it was such negativity that had nothing to do with why she was there. It had nothing to do with me or my efforts around serenading,' he says. Usher says he reached out to Palmer and asked if she would be the lead in the video.
