Usher has been pulled back into Keke Palmer’s domestic dispute, this time as the subject of her mother’s tirade.
Amid the police investigation into the actor’s assault allegations against her baby father Darius Jackson, an audio recording of a heated phone call believed to be between Jackson and Sharon Palmer began circulating online on Tuesday (November 14).

In it, she can be heard going off on her daughter’s ex-partner, calling him a “dick sucker” and saying that he has “mental problems.”
She then referred back to the incident that sparked problems between Keke and Darius (at least in the public eye): the viral clip of the 30-year-old dancing with Usher during the R&B icon’s Vegas residency earlier this year.

“Usher is gay,” she exclaimed, alluding to his since-deleted tweets about Palmer not dressed appropriately for the concert. “You and your stupid-ass family, ya’ll don’t even understand business. Usher’s gay, guys.”

Ever since the hostility between the former couple turned into a legal matter, alleged texts and e-mails between the two have been leaking all over on the internet. The above audio recording went public the same way and it isn’t yet clear where exactly any of it came from or if it’s even legitimate.
Still, Akademiks recently went live on Rumble and revealed some of these exchanges, which allude to Palmer allegedly being violent and abusive toward Jackson despite her claims of being his victim in the ongoing case.

Jackson has denied Palmer’s allegations of domestic abuse. Last week, the Nope actor succeeded in having a temporary restraining order placed against him that also prevents him from having contact with their infant son, citing several instances of abuse against her.
According to TMZ, Jackson denies the allegations and has levied his own claims against Palmer’s mother, who allegedly told him to “watch out” and threatened to put “a bullet in [his] head” in the aforementioned phone call.
The news outlet also obtained screenshots of text messages in the aftermath of the incident that are believed to be between the mothers of both Palmer and Jackson.
Jackson’s mother wrote: “Hello Sharon. How are you? I have tried not getting involved in my son’s personal business, but I heard that you are going to put a bullet in my son’s head??? Well, then now we have to involve the authorities, because you don’t respect or value yourself and I can see no [sic] my son’s life. You might have to kill us all. I will file a police report now.”

In turn, Sharon replied: “Please do not contact me with this ridiculous childish behavior, your son choked his own sister, deal with his anger issues, if he attacks my daughter in her own home where she pays the bills he is trespassing and anything can happen so he should stay away. You should be very ashamed to have raised a man who fights women.”
