Usher and Keke Palmer Collaborate Amidst Vegas Residency Controversy

Usher has released a captivating teaser for his upcoming music video "Boyfriend," featuring Emmy-winning actress Keke Palmer. This collaboration comes in the wake of a widely-discussed incident during Usher's Las Vegas residency just last month.

Mysterious Teaser Hints at the Saga Between Usher, Keke Palmer, and Darius Jackson

In the 15-second teaser, Usher's seductive vocals croon, "Somebody said that your boyfriend's lookin' for me." The intriguing snippet provides only a glimpse into the video's concept, but Usher's lyrics and the moody beauty shots of both him and Palmer suggest that the visual will delve into the controversy that surrounded the two artists recently. The full "Boyfriend" music video is set to premiere on Wednesday (Aug. 16). This new release follows Usher's earlier hit of 2023, "Good Good," featuring Summer Walker and 21 Savage.

Recap of the Vegas Controversy

Last month, Usher and Keke Palmer captured headlines when Palmer attended one of Usher's shows in a sheer black dress with a bodysuit underneath. Usher serenaded the Emmy-winning actress during his performance of "There Goes My Baby." The shared dance and interaction sparked discussions, particularly after Palmer's ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson, criticized her attire on social media, emphasizing his perspective on family values. Palmer, however, continued to share pictures of herself from that night, without directly addressing Jackson's comments.

Usher's Perspective on the Incident

Usher recently addressed the situation, stating, "Every night I'm thinking about how the world now is going to react to this moment that I'll have with whoever I'm choosing to sing to… but it was a pop moment, and it was fun to have at least conversation going, and we just keep it light. I don't see anything negative happening in Las Vegas."

As anticipation builds for the release of the "Boyfriend" music video, fans are eager to see how the collaboration between Usher and Keke Palmer unfolds amidst the Vegas controversy.
