Keke Palmer’s ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson, is speaking out about the hoops that he has to go through to see his son Leodis.
Taking to X on Monday, Jackson didn’t hold back as he shared his frustrations.
When I tell you that they make men go thru hoops when it comes to seeing their own kids.
Then they have the audacity to throw the fatherless home statistic at your face.
Let alone, make you feel honored to get any type of time w/ your own child.

He began, “When I tell you that they make men go thru hoops when it comes to seeing their own kids. Then they have the audacity to throw the fatherless home statistic at your face. Let alone, make you feel honored to get any type of time w/ your own child.”
He continued, “I feel for the dads that gave up when it came to custody. It’s mentally, emotionally & physically draining. You’ll lose yourself. My spirit is too strong to give up. But I totally understand. I have pondered it. Thank God I have an amazing circle.”

He then shared a piece of advice for those yet to embark on parenthood, emphasizing the importance of waiting until marriage.
“Wait til marriage & make sure God is the center of your relationship. There’s a rule book that’s been given to us thousands of years ago. Best to follow it. Cause everything else leads to chaos.”
For those who don’t have kids & this is something that I will emphasize to my son. Wait til marriage & make sure God is the center of your relationship. There’s a rule book that’s been given to us thousands of years ago. Best to follow it. Cause everything else leads to chaos.

Addressing the issue of privacy, Darius made it clear that he prefers to keep certain matters private.
“And for those that expect me to ever speak on anything, that’s for my family’s private matter. Yes, it’s still my family. I share a soul with this person.You can do your own research make your own judgement.”
Contrary to his wishes, Keke and Darius court battles have played out publicly. In November, Palmer was granted a temporary restraining order against Jackson, alleging physical and emotional abuse during their relationship. She also requested legal and sole custody of their infant son.
In December, Jackson filed a response to her request for a domestic violence restraining order claiming that Palmer was “the primary aggressor” in their relationship.
