Keke Palmer's boyfriend Darius Jackson is saying one big "nope" to his critics.
Four months after welcoming son Leodis Andrellton Jackson with the Nope star, the fitness instructor found himself facing backlash from some social media users when he called out a risqué outfit she wore to a recent girls' night out in Las Vegas. When a video of Keke—clad in a cheeky bodysuit underneath black see-through dress—singing along to Usher at his July 4 concert surfaced on Twitter, Darius wrote in reaction to the frock, "It's the outfit tho.. you a mom."
A number of social media users quickly jumped to Keke's defense, with some accusing Darius of shaming the 29-year-old for her fashion. One user wrote, "Don't police women's clothing choices."
Darius later doubled down on his stance, tweeting July 5, "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."
"This is my family & my representation," he continued. "I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case."
Keke has not responded to Darius' tweet, though she did share several photos of her booty-baring look on Instagram.
"I wish I had taken more pictures but we were running late!" Keke captioned the July 5 post, which showed her striking several sultry poses in the sheer gown. "I am telling y'all right now, if you haven't seen @usher YOU MUST GO!! HE WAS SO FABULOUS!! Giving theater, Atlanta downnn, tips and tricks and just absolutely iconic. I was truly inspired as a preformer."
She added, "Where is that pic of us all together with the King himself??"
Keke gave birth to her first baby with Darius in February. Since then, the actress has been open about her motherhood journey, including how she's "gettin' COOKED" on parenting duties.
"When it comes to raising a kid, I've already learned in these short few days that it takes a village," she shared in a March 3 video. "And sometimes that's a privilege. And I just want anybody out there that's a single parents that's been doing this—friends of mine, people that I don't know, family members of mine—really in my heart, it brings tears to my eyes."
The Nickelodeon alum added at the time, "I am just truly, profoundly impressed."
