- Usher says his fans nicknamed him the "Domestic Terrorist" after the Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson issue, per People.
- In July, Palmer's boyfriend Jackson criticized her on Twitter for wearing a sheer black dress to an Usher show in Las Vegas.
Usher says that his fans have nicknamed him the "Domestic Terrorist" after the viral video of him serenading Keke Palmer at his concert made her boyfriend, Darius Daulton Jackson, upset.
"The internet is crazy. You can't beat the internet," the singer told People.
"I think everybody's vision or a version of what they felt happened there just leads you back to just really having a good time in Las Vegas," Usher said. "And that's what I hope came out of it. Rather, it was a conversation of what was going on with us having fun in front of the audience or conversation about that song."
In July, a clip of Usher serenading Palmer at one of his Las Vegas shows sparked media buzz because of how her boyfriend Darius Daulton Jackson reacted to it.
Jackson publicly shaded Palmer on Twitter, which recently rebranded to X, by posting "It's the outfit tho.. you a mom," in a now-deleted tweet.
It is unclear if the two of them are still together, although they welcomed a son in February.

Usher often has a segment in his concerts where he sings to a lucky fan, and he said that what happened with Keke Palmer was "a pop moment," per People.
"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," Usher said. "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."
