Usher thinks that the drama between Keke Palmer and her boyfriend Darius Jackson surrounding her appearance at the Usher: My Way Las Vegas residency show is “a pop culture moment” that is “worth talking about.” The 44-year-old performer made headlines in July when Palmer, 29, attended his show in a sheer dress with a bodysuit underneath.

Usher invited Palmer on stage where he serenaded her while singing his hit “There Goes My Baby.” At the time, Palmer’s boyfriend and the father of her child, Darius Jackson, called out her look, writing, “It’s the outfit tho..
