Hollywood actress, Keke Palmer, wore a see-through outfit to the show of Usher Raymond in Las Vegas. Her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, who is the father of her child, posted on Twitter that a mother shouldn’t dress in those outfits.
His comment has set the internet ablaze with fans of Keke Palmer tearing Darius Jackson on Twitter and other social media platforms.
A see-through outfit is any clothing made with lace, mesh or sheer fabric that allows the wearer’s body or undergarments to be seen through the fabric.
Keke Palmer, 29, who welcomed a son, Leodis Andrellton Jackson with Darius Jackson in February, donned a fitted black bodysuit under a sheer dress to watch Usher perform. Except for her panty, every of her thighs was visible.

Unhappy with her outfit choice, Jackson took to Twitter to protest: “It’s the outfit tho. you a mom.”
The tweet attracted angry reactions from people who asked him to shut up.
Darius Jackson then doubled down on his stance by adding; “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.”
Tweeps came back with more anger against the fitness instructor.

@Roy65940956 said: “He claims to be a traditional man, expecting his woman to stay at home and be docile/submissive to him, while he both lives of her money AND indulges in his own strange behavior (i.e half naked IG pics). Now THAT is abuse. Being financially dependent but wanting control over her.”
@UjuAnya wrote: “Man tweeting all that nonsense on a phone Keke bought and the data plan she pays for every month. A kept hoe should keep quiet. It’s absurd to appeal to patriarchal ‘morals and values’ to dominate a woman while not fulfilling any patriarchal duties yourself. Men made the rules that tie their worth to money. Why y’all getting mad when I say that, according to those same rules, a broke man can’t talk?”
But @Mn_Nabo argued: “A lot of takes I’ve seen from women on this Keke Palmer’s issue is so dishonest and disappointing. ‘She is the bread winner, he is a kept hoe, he shouldn’t have an opinion, she owes him nothing.’ I hope y’all realise you are unconsciously endorsing ‘abuse’? By providing or seeming to be more successful, she gets to do whatever she wants while he takes it in silence. These words will come back to haunt y’all. Married or not, he is her partner, the father to her child, if he feels her outfit was inappropriate, he has the right to say.”
