Keke Palmer reportedly filed for sole legal and physical custody of her eight-month-old son, Leodis, on Thursday. The documents were filed days after Darius Jackson posted cryptic tweets on his X account.

In an exclusive by Page Six, Keke Palmer was allowed to give Jackson joint custody of Leodis, but she allegedly didn’t want to, and the reason is unclear at this time. She also requested that the “reasonable expenses of pregnancy and birth” be paid to her and for both parties to be responsible for their legal fees. Court documents stated that the court is permitted to make orders for child support and “issue an earning assignment without further notice to either party,” the outlet said.
Days before the court filing, Jackson posted a series of cryptic tweets online, one of which said, “Just thank God & keep it pushing,” and reposted another tweet that reads, “Being betrayed by someone you loved really changes your mindset.” He also reposted another tweet: “Nobody apologized for they treated me; they just blamed me for how I reacted.” However, it is unknown if the couple had officially broken up, and both parties have not released a statement.

It is not the first time the couple has had their fair share of drama, as Jackson retweeted an image and publically shamed Palmer for an outfit she wore at Usher’s Las Vegas residency in July. The post received negative backlash online as Jackson wrote, “It’s the outfit tho…you a mom.” Although he tried to explain why he posted the tweet, Jackson temporarily deactivated his account.
Palmer created merchandise surrounding the drama and even appeared in Usher’s “Boyfriend” video. It was reported that the couple broke up in August, but Jackson quickly shut down the rumors. The couple also celebrated Jackson’s birthday later that month and attended Beyonce’s “Renaissance” concert in September.
Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson started dating in May 2021. They reportedly met at a Memorial Day party hosted by Issa Rae and Diddy. The couple went public with their relationship in August 2021. In December 2022, Palmer and Jackson announced they were expecting their first child. They welcomed their son, Leodis Andrellton Jackson, in February 2023.
