Keke Palmer is uncovering new details about her breakup.
The Nope star got candid about what really led to her split from ex Darius Jackson in her latest single, “My Confession,” which was released on May 9.
In fact, while many have speculated that Usher serenading Keke at his Las Vegas residency back in July 2023 was what caused her and Darius to call it quits, the Nickelodeon alum revealed that the pair actually parted ways shortly before she attended the “Burn” singer’s show.
“Summer ’23, we was in Vegas, right / Broke up with me and you hopped up on a flight,” Keke sings on the first verse. “Was tryna find my way back to ‘alright’/ So I figured that I’d have myself a girl’s night.”
Following the concert, Darius slammed the 31-year-old for wearing a sheer dress during her interaction with Usher, writing on X at the time, “It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom.” And Keke—who didn’t go public their breakup until three months later—felt like she faced unfair backlash due to his reaction.
“Made me a villain for sympathy but you lied, mm,” she recalled on the song, which interpolates Usher’s 2004 smash “Confessions Part II.” “But the truth is, in Vegas, we was already over, boo/ Because of you.”
