It seems like Darius went a bit too far this time. Kiki has had it with his messy antics and decided to drop him like a hot potato. Now, Darius is finally opening up about being dumped by Kiki and sharing his true feelings. But does he really think Kiki is in the wrong, even after facing criticism from practically everyone?
Here’s what went down: Kiki and her girls had a blast at the Usher concert. Kiki looked absolutely stunning in her black sheer dress with a body suit underneath, flaunting her curves in all the right ways. But Darius didn’t seem to appreciate her vibe. Instead, he took to Twitter to publicly shame her, airing their private business for all to see. His tweet? ‘It’s the outfit though, you were mom.’ And here’s the kicker – he didn’t just tweet this out randomly. Nope, he responded to a video of Kiki dancing with Usher himself. It seems like Darius couldn’t handle seeing Kiki having a good time, so he chose to embarrass her online.
Seems like he was expecting some backup, but man, did he get hit hard online! People were tearing into him left and right. You’d think after all that, Darius would take a breather from Twitter and handle things behind closed doors. But nah, he decided to stick around and fire back at the folks roasting him. He said, “We’re living in a time when a man doesn’t want his wife and the mother of his kids showing off to please others, he’s labeled a hater. This is my family, my values. Case closed.”
But his attempt to wrap it up was swiftly unraveled by fans who pointed out some glaring flaws. First off, they reminded him that Kiki wasn’t wearing a ring, so calling her his wife didn’t fly. Then they hit him with the reality check, saying if he wants to play Mr. Traditional, he needs to step up as the breadwinner. Since Kiki’s bringing in the dough, they suggested he focus on diapers instead of dissing her. The internet was brutal, with one tweet even comparing him unfavorably to Jay-Z, who’s all about lifting Beyoncé up, not tearing her down.
So, even though Kiki didn’t directly hit back at Darius’s tweet and all the buzz it stirred up, she definitely threw some serious shade his way, but in a classy, indirect manner. While everyone was talking about her on Twitter, she took to Instagram and casually shared some pics of herself in that stunning dress, lamenting that she didn’t snap more pics of her killer outfit. She even dropped a hint about how blown away she was by Usher’s performance, gushing about it in her caption, all while keeping it cool as a cucumber.
Let’s be real, fans were never fully sold on their relationship. Right from the get-go, something about Darius set off alarm bells for most people, and the way things unfolded only added to the suspicion. At first, it felt like Kiki was keeping their relationship on the down-low, but then she hit up the Tamron Hall Show and was all like, “Nah, I ain’t hiding nothing. It’s just that when you spend so much time with someone who’s your bestie, it’s kinda hard to keep it under wraps, you know? So, why hide something that makes me happy?” Fair point, right?
But then, out of the blue, they both hit delete on all their couple pics on social media, and Kiki might’ve thrown a little shade Darius’s way with that tweet about dating Aquarians being a test of strength. And Darius? Well, he took to Insta with some cryptic wisdom about growth and accountability, which everyone kinda figured was his way of reflecting on their situation.
By that time, everyone knew something had gone down between them. Later, we found out he’d pressured his ex, Taylor Marie, into getting rid of their pregnancy. Just three weeks after that bombshell, she caught him cozying up with Kiki. Taylor, completely shocked, took to TikTok to spill the tea. She posted a video saying, “When he gets you pregnant, pressures you to have an abortion, and three weeks later is booed up with Kiki Palmer.” But she deleted that video and reposted with a different vibe. This time, she didn’t name-drop Kiki directly, writing, “Let’s try this again. I’m not gonna name-drop, just spread awareness that if you’ve been through this [ __ ], you’re gonna get through it.”
Lots of people thought he only pressured his ex into the abortion because he wanted Kiki. They figured he knew if he had a baby with someone else, Kiki would dump him. People started guessing maybe he got with Kiki for her fame, to boost his own career.
But it seemed Kiki forgave him because not long after, she announced her pregnancy on SNL.
“It sucks when internet rumors hit too close to home, but it sucks even more when they’re true. But you know what? It’s turned out to be the best thing ever, and I’m over the moon, guys. I’m gonna be a mom!”
With all the latest drama, he went ahead and deactivated his Twitter account, but guess what? He couldn’t stay away for long. When he resurfaced, his comeback post was nothing short of shady. Sharing a snippet from Kanye West’s ‘Forever,’ he dropped some thought-provoking lines: “Chasing stardom will turn you into a manic, all the way in Hollywood and I can’t even act. I used to want this thing forever, y’all can have it back.”
Now, word on the street is that Kiki’s had it with Darius’s controlling ways. Sources are spilling the tea, confirming she’s kicked him to the curb. Kiki hit that unfollow button on Darius’s Insta, and he returned the favor. Can’t really blame Kiki for walking away, especially after she made it clear she’s all about keeping her relationship drama under wraps. Remember when she spilled the beans on ‘The Baby, This is Keke Palmer Podcast’? Darius was right there, but that didn’t stop him from dragging their issues into the limelight.
She was crystal clear about it: “Whatever we’re going through, we keep that behind closed doors, like nobody’s business. It’s like he’s got a secret twin. I’m not airing that out.” And when she was asked about handling rumors about her man’s antics, she threw some shade with a hint of humor: “And I saw your man.” It was obvious she wasn’t into public drama, but Darius? Well, he decided to do the opposite, airing their laundry on Twitter despite knowing better.
One fan hit the nail on the head: “Kiki spelled it out for him, but did he listen? Nope. You can communicate crystal clear with a guy, and he’ll still act up. Maybe she shouldn’t have shouted her love from the rooftops. Seems like they always go off the rails right after that.”
Looks like Kiki decided to respond with a dance video on TikTok. She shared a clip of herself dancing to a song, with lyrics hinting at her readiness to move on from Darius. The lyrics went, “You can’t hold me back, sweetheart. So if you want drama, I’m ready to move on.”
Meanwhile, Darius attempted to grab attention with some tweets, but it only stirred up more chaos. With Kiki calling it quits, his days of online fame seem to be fading. Those close to him claim he’s convinced he did nothing wrong, merely standing up for his beliefs, while pinning the blame on Kiki for ending things.
Perhaps Darius could’ve expressed his views privately, now facing the consequences of his public spectacle.
