has spoken out for the first time about the viral moment he serenaded at his Las Vegas concert – and which
Last month, the internet got heated after Keke, 29, enjoyed a sweet moment with Usher, 44, while attending his Vegas residency at Dolby Live.
In a video clip shared online, the Nope actress was seen dancing and swaying with the R&B crooner as he sang There Goes My Baby. Keke looked stunning for the occasion wearing a black sheer bodycon dress but it seemed her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, didn’t approve as he reacted to the footage, tweeting: ‘It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom.’

Fans of the actress descended on Darius’ social media to slam the father-of-one for mum-shaming his partner on a public platform but he doubled down.
All the while, Usher stayed out of the domestic dispute but he’s now addressed the controversial fallout, hailing it as a ‘pop moment’ and ‘worth talking about.’
‘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,’
‘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.’
He continued: ‘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.’
Darius refused to back down on his stance regarding Keke’s outfit and tweeted amid the backlash: ‘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.’
His reaction led to other female stars behaving cautiously when they were approached by Usher at the show, with Winnie Harlow promptly sitting on her boyfriend’s lap when Usher headed her way, while Saweetie, who is dating rapper YG, kept her distance appropriate when it was her turn to be serenaded.
