Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson have been prominent in the news cycle as of late. After Darius publicly mom-shamed the actress over Twitter for the outfit she wore to an Usher concert, he received a lot of backlash from Keke fans on social media. Now, an interview recorded on her podcast, Baby, This is Keke Palmer, has been released and gives a little more insight into their relationship.
In the interview, Darius admitted to holding the mother of his child to a "perfect standard" after they went public with their relationship. “At first, it definitely was hard because it could all be very overwhelming," he explained. "It was definitely overwhelming and intense at first."
And Keke agreed. "And it's like, you almost feel that pressure of needing to be perfect,” Darius continued. “And so, it really confused me and infiltrated my mind because not only did I have to hold myself to that perfect standard, I was also holding you to a perfect standard as well. So, any moment of flaw on my side or on your side it was World War III."
The episode was recorded before Darius publicly tweeted about Keke's outfit. Since then, the two have apparently unfollowed each other on social media and he has removed all photos of her from his Instagram.
