Darius Daulton, also known as Darius Jackson, is learning a tough lesson many other men have learned when it comes to dating an exceptionally beautiful woman that is also a public figure. The father of Keke Palmer‘s son took to Twitter to criticize his partner over her outfit choice after a video of Palmer being serenaded by Usher went viral.
Darius Daulton caught wind of a video from Usher’s standing concert series in Las Vegas that Palmer attended. Video footage shows Usher, 44, singing passionately to Palmer, 29, and at one point, Palmer drapes her arms around Usher in a suggestive but playful manner while clearly enjoying the moment.

Daulton, who reportedly works as a fitness trainer and is the brother of actor Sarunas Jackson, didn’t enjoy the moment. His tweet said it all.
It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom. https://t.co/qaQH6zWpkA

Immediately, fans online began calling Daulton names, including saying he was hating on Palmer for having a good time and other choice insults that include him being jobless. Instead of deleting the tweet or walking it back, Daulton fired back with a tweet repping his favorite NFL team, the Philadelphia Eagles.
After that tweet got some requisite criticism, Daulton once more closed the book on the whole matter and is deciding to move on.
Daulton wrote:
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. I have standards & morals to what I believe.
I rest my case.
Palmer has yet to say anything about Daulton’s tweet, at least via Twitter. In fact, just yesterday (July 4), Palmer declared her love for Daulton.
Not tryna be the person but… I love my man.(PERIODT!)

And if you’re the so called head of your household, Darius, why Keke didn’t feel the need to show you what she was going to wear for your approval? pic.twitter.com/xw2UWu3z4k

Darius, we thought your head was on straight up until now. Keke is the same beautiful and outgoing girl that she was before you met her, and you come online to embarrass her? The mother of your child? Your words, not ours. Oh, trust you WILL be dealt with!

Darius didn’t expect that baby to give KeKe BAWDY and fucking confidence in herself. That’s part of the reason he’s losing his damn mind today. How dare she have a kid and be even more fine than she already was?! And how dare the world notice it & boost her for being fine?!

There’s threads upon threads calling Darius a bum. he probably felt a way seeing keke with someone who she would make a good couple with in the public’s mind. Usher got a bunny at home do Darius know he’s taken? Rest your nerves.

We also live in a generation where that same man of the family would much rather put on a show on social media rather than talk to the wife/mother to his kids in private. This is twitter and that’s Keke Palmer, you knew better Darius. https://t.co/1s9Oc497CP
