So basically - trust nothing on social media - trust no one on social media - have no expectations or assumptions for celebrities This is why I just stick to my garden, plants and dirt. Social media is too fake, celebrities are too fake. But my flowers are very much real 🌷🌼🌹🌱 And you Steph have a very special heart and a level of empathy that is sometimes rare. Your takes include so much compassion for humanity that’s it’s quite refreshing and can gently change someone’s opinion. Please never stop being you ❤️
@@jojb411Exactly. I treat celebs like everything they do is calculated. They have professionals around them whose jobs are to spin every situation and manipulate the public. Beyoncé’s father literally said this in an interview a few years back. He called it “Jedi mind tricks” lol so I haven’t indulged in anything they have done since the Usher concert. They’re a cute family, that’s all I got 😂 Furthermore, that’s a newborn baby. Even in real life, women are not quick to leave when the baby is fresh. Everyone mind yours lol.
I can honestly say I never thought they broke up because 1. He’s broke. She’s his meal ticket & 2. She’s always made it clear that she’s NEVER leaving him. Out of her mouth she said even if he cheated that’s not her business. I would never expect 2 clowns to separate. They’re a match made in heaven
I remember her saying that as well. She said if someone were to ever tell her he cheated she would pretend she didn’t know what they were talking about. Idk what things happened to her to make her see herself as not worthy of a good partner ☹️
You know what? I'm tired. We all are. If successful women like the Kekes and Halles of the world wanna put up with the Darius and DDGs, so be it. I'm slowly starting to realize that ppl date who they think they deserve. They will never see it as "settling". That's an issue they gotta figure out for themselves. I'm gonna keep my black, middle-class ass out of it. It does nothing for me except make my eyes roll so hard I get a tension headache anyway. Edit: Clearly, the comment about Keke and Darius did not age well. However, I want to make it clear that I support Keke, and hope her and her baby are safe now. DV is nothing to take lightly nor mock at the victim's expense.
This! I was just telling my mother the other day that I never want to raise my kid to care about the community as much as i was. I be out here genuinely hurt for people and they don’t even care about themselves that much. Better to focus solely on yourself
As a married woman, I'm not surprised 😂 I feel like social media is not realistic about the level of grace given in a relationship. I cannot say if it's right or wrong, but in my experience and also with people I know, there's A LOT of grace given in "serious" relationships
As soon as that Usher music video came out I knew it was a publicity stunt and immediately knew they were together and never broke up in the 1st place. I laughed. Those of us of a certain age recognize classic 2000s publicity stunts used to promote projects. Usher and Keke both have albums to promote.
I said the same thing!!!! She not about to let that man go bc she is in love with him. She is smitten by him. They both benefited off that entire situation! He took one for the team! Her music video came out before and no one was watching it but soon as the incident occurred with usher her views went up!!!
I don’t think everything is a publicity stunt, he publicly called her out and then she capitalized off the moment. Which was very smart of her. Now sometime has past and their willing to be public again.
@@sarahgates6947 the only reason why I disagree is that Keke has worn revealing clothes publicly many times since the baby and it was crickets from him. But all of a sudden he has something to say? Just didn't make sense. And one thing I've learned from listening to multiple interviews with Keke over the years is that she doesn't play about her brand and she intentionally tries to keep her private life sepatate from work. They have been together almost 2 years and we haven't heard boo from him until now. They trolled us & I think it's hilarious and like Steph said it's a nice reminder that we don't know these celebs in real life only the parts they choose to show on social media.
We can't mind our business when HE made their business known in Public. Hopefully Keke will wake up when he embarrasses her again, because he definitely will...
I think their relationship is still a performance. His reluctance to claim her in that live was so cringe. I think another aspect that is lost in the conversation is how difficult dating as a celebrity is. If your identities are compounded as in the case of Kiki, then you keep what you get. It looks that way here to me.
Yep! I came to that realization after Jay Z cheated. When you're that famous and have known a man since you were 18 and had a kid with him, where are you supposed to go? Most men would be too jealous of your success. Most men genuinely don't see women as equals - just possessions. You might as well work it out with the devil you know. However, Keke made a terrible choice in partner. That man will embarrass her over and over, and then he will cheat. His ego won't let her win.
@@125loopy “better to work it out with the devil you know” - that comes from a FEAR of scarcity. You fear you won’t get better so you settle for the verbal abuse, manipulation,belittling, cheating, and straight up disrespect. No thanks I rather be single.
The value of a man in society depresses me so much. A woman like keke who has earned so much well deserved money, fame, and honor can partner with a man like Darius (who has nothing and has embarrassed her publicly now and in the past) and she can still feel like she’s winning just by having a man. And all the people you mentioned who are cosigning them and telling us to mind our business are super hype to see someone as special as keke settling because it validates their choices to settle
It’s so wild how people’s perspectives can differ so much. I expected to see comments like yours all over the posts about their reunion. But from instagram to TikTok everyone was cheering them on and telling us to mind our business. I don’t have a dog in the fight, I can see both sides of the reaction. But I know this, they better keep that relationship to themselves lol. I can’t go through this again. I won’t!
You came for the discussion. Darius is obviously a problem choice but his lack of financial and social standing is not so much a problem for me as realistically even men as successful as Keke rarely partner with woman with the same influence as them. Attraction is complicated and social and financial capital cannot dictate it. That being said yes I agree social conditioning for settling down makes people get into situations that are unhealthy and defend it. I honestly don't even think they are necessarily a couple. Looked more like a truce to end the public scrutiny.
@@BoahemaaI don’t think a man has to be worth 7million like keke is. but Darius has no clear occupation at all. That kind of man should be avoided by all women. Darius has women and exes with receipts that have shown he has been problematic this kind of man should be avoided by all women. I feel like keke settled even by my standards. My husband is absolutely wonderful and im not keke Palmer im just a regular woman. So i really wanted her to at least partner with a man who has a substantial occupation and good character. He hasnt shown us either of those things
I can't say I'm surprised. Ultimately people date who they think they deserve. They aren't the first messy couple to exist and they won't be the last. I don't really care either way tbh. A couple of my homegirls are in dynamic like this. at the end of the day I think its fine to say our piece but ultimately people in the dynamic decide what they can tolerate.
I'm not surprised that they reunited, people get back together with toxic exes all the time and it doesn't negate the truth of what the general public voiced. She'll learn the hard way like other wealthy celebrity women.
And ironically we're still creating a narrative around the live. Maybe they are back together - or maybe 'partner in crime' means they're coparenting friends. Either way I do agree with many of your points in the video. We never know what we'll do until we in the situation, experiencing its complexities.
Hello! Quick Note: Virgos, I love you!!! But also, how did you convince the whole world to love you lol. The other signs can't figure it out. Please advise!
Hi❤ Virgo here. Earth signs are very chill, we sit back and let people be. We value our privacy. We understand people will people. Thank you for the video Steph and kind words for Virgos season. ❤
I watched another content creator's video on this subject, and she had an interesting perspective. In their video, Darius named all of the people in his life who are Virgos. When he got to KeKe, he paused, and referred to her as his "partner in crime". Is it possible that they aren't together, and they're just co-parenting? 🤷🏾♀️ Just a thought. I wish them nothing but the best either way, as well as their little angel. 👼🏽 I'm embarrassed to share this after all that's been said, but I guess according to my astrological sign, I got the can't help its, so.......my birthday is Friday 😂 Take care everyone. ❤
Virgo here 👋🏾. You actually said it. We serve people all year round FULLY, giving everything we do our very best. It's the only time when we feel justified in celebrating ourselves. Let us have it! 😂 Side note: I'm not sure who's all on your feed, but the lions roar super loud during their season around my neighborhood streets...
The baby is young. Remember the post she made about applauding single mothers who are doing it alone bc she is still with her BF who is present and it’s still rough. The best thing she could do is to tough it out and make things work. I honestly believe they never broke up, she just had her fun with the post bc it boosted her name
This relationship is going nowhere fast. All KeKe is going to get out of this is several more embarrassing news cycles when he eventually starts acting up again. She's prolonging the inevitable. Let me tell you how this is gonna go. Partnering with a restless emasculated man of low character always backfires. He's eventually going to get caught in some other woman's Dm's or coming out of a hotel room. Keke will forgive him. She'll repeat that cycle a few more times. She'll enter the sunk cost fallacy. After multiple public humiliations and a baby she'll be desperate to either remain in the relationship to save face or she'll pull a Kardashian and try to squeeze a few more babies out of the relationship. As she grows increasingly desperate he will grow more bold and audacious in his disrespect. See. Khloe and Tristan for more info regarding this dynamic.
He asked to fly an instagram model out? I did not know that. Before knowing that it made perfect sense that they're still together, she probably knew about his problematic takes and probably understood his twitter outburst. But being that messy while we're on a break would have been the last straw for me
Yeah, they hate us in these streets, oh well 😂🤷🏾♀️. And Leos do talk about themselves a lot especially when its their season but that's what we expect from them so we don't care.
25:04 Virgos to me are very insecure. And I think they project that insecurity by being judgmental. Or pretend they’re not deeply insecure, by commanding a room to “look at me”. Leo’s are similar as well in that way.
That's hilarious because I forget Virgos exist. They're still not as critical as Capricorns and I love Taurus so I always forget about them😂 They seem bland to me🤷🏽♀️ but I'm fully Capricorn energy
We really took Keke’s lead, so I don’t think anyone is embarrassed. Initially it was surprising she’d break up with him over that alone, but when she did ALL THAT (I didn’t even hear what he was doing), we said I guess it’s over. It’s the fans taken in by her consequent merch/cash grab I feel sorry for. She spun it into SO much, but I guess that’s Hollywood!!
@@f5ghn2v1 Keke is so weird. Does she think this is cute?? Although, no one points out the lack of eligible black man in Hollywood. We know Michael B Jordan is going back to latinas when the coast is clear. Jonathan Majors is a psycho. John Boyega, I guess? And we know Keke isn't swirling
I am so so happy That you spoke about self efficiency. Feelings are a normal thing but it’s what you choose to do after that that matters. More people should accept that feelings of insecurity are normal and that we can never truly unlearn nor control what we feel.
Honestly I definitely thought they were still together the entire time. I was like Keke is going to turn this into a bag and that's exactly what she did. He reacted dramatically bit not rudely or aggressively. Just an opinion. Awesome tips Steph on how to handle a situation like this. 💖💖💖
They were still together lol. I follow a few people they would hang with and I saw them together in the background of some instagram stories. And keke never confirmed a breakup, social media put words in her mouth.
My unpopular opinion about them Virgos going crazy when its their season is because they actually have a very strong desire to be looked at. For example, they die for recognition and admiration for just being who they are.. which is a virgo. They want to show the world they are unique and special even when they be average and just like everyone else. I actually find Virgos absolutely neurotic and unstable. Not talking about organizational related aspect of their lifes. They definitely need a therapist to reevaluate whats important in life. Because Virgos live to impress other but deny this huge aspect of their side. And when I say impress, I mean not the healthy kind. They would never be in a room with someone more intelligent then them for example. They develop passive aggressive angry towards those individuals. However, healthy Virgos are normal and just like the rest of the signs and are actually nice people who really wanna do good to others and aren't self-obessessed or have narcissistic tendencies. But mostly, unhealthy virgos are EVERYWHERE. They would kill to be worshipped lol.
Gross. Just gross. I'm starting to just let everyone live with struggle love, toxic mess and whatever this is. I hope keke know these nasty tendencies can be passed down and she's produvi more dummies like him. That's ehat sucks. We have to deal with these guys multiplying over it. Again, disgusting. Men really need to level up their humility.
Thank you for talking this out. I had so many feelings towards this situation. And you nailed it on the head for me to be able to sort it out. I wanted more for her because I was thinking he was less. But then I remember before that I was so happy that she had just found love. And you mentioned that we look at things through a black and white view. And you tackled my biggest issue which is telling everyone all my business and never knowing when to draw the line. Thank you.
I love that you said that because I wanted the best for Keke as well. She wants to be with her man and loves through the fights than I can't judge. Yes, we will never know their relationship.
You women just don't get it. Fame and fortune do not make the woman. The men you want, don't want you. Darius controls the narrative. Simple. Stephco you will never get it. Keke is lucky Darius took her back. Her options are very limited
I have beef with Tauruses - never had a single friendship with a Taurus last. Ever. Always ended super bombastically while I'm confused af as to why they didn't just tell me what was bothering them. Meanwhile the whole town thinks I'm some sort of piece of garbage bc of the (exaggerated, though not entirely false, three sides to every story) allegations being spread. tf. I'm an Aries, we're supposed to be all conflict-y, and cause problems. But most of my friendship/relationship problems as an *adult* (I was a shitty teen) have come from the other person not telling me something relatively minor is bothering them, and then me feeling weird but unsure and unable to figure out what's going on or ask the right questions to resolve an issue idk about. Am I supposed to read people's minds through a cellphone? damn. lol
As a Virgo who never brings it up unless it’s mentioned, it seems like we catch a lot of strays for no reason 😅I personally see more Leos talking about Leo szn but I think it’s just the community that you’re around. But also…Beyoncé and MJ are THE ppl to name when it comes to any sign lol they’re GOATs
His internet posts were mean to Keke for sure but it's not terribly weird that they sorted out their issues to recommit to partnership and raising their son. It was mean but not like, unsalvageable. I hope that stuff goes better moving forward.
@shizzlemywizzle1 I think you're lacking some emotional intelligence and basic knowledge of psychology. He needs to embarrass her to knock her down to his level. He is unsuccessful on his own. Everything he has is due to his proximity to her. He is too jealous to love her.
I can honestly say I didn't pay these two any mind. They didn't fool me, she didn't trick me. The whole thing seemed forced and planned. But I don't believe anything celebrities do/say. I always think it's a publicity/marketing ploy. I still think the whole Kanye Kim thing is a huge marketing story lol. It's all fake to me.
They never broke up. He confirmed that by saying these entertainment “reports” are fake, with fake quotes. Keke never said anything about their relationship either. It’s the weird ppl online that created story lines & taking it as facts. That’s so gross.
When it happened (the usher fiasco) i didnt know what to say, frankly i was still trying digest that THE keke palmer was a babymama to a random boyfriend; Two things: 1. People will mind their business but i promise you that keke won’t like it, because essentially people are gonna say “ welp do with her as you will” and it will show. 2. Men like that have the same playbook and they all operate in the same way; as far as he is concerned, she “humiliated” him and if you think he won’t get revenge on her, you’re simple af. This man got something for keke over this usher situation and i bet you that it won’t take long. Maya angelou literally went to glory begging you to believe people when they show you who they are the first time. And look at us. Chile let me mind my business edit as of 11/10/2023 Well. this aged well.
Why is everyone assuming they’re back together? He went out of his way to call her “his partner in crime.” Seems like they wanted to make things clear that they’re cool but didn’t get the impression they are a couple.
I didn’t watch their whole live so I may be speaking out of place but I didn’t see them display physical affection so unless they did later in the live, I don’t think they’re necessarily together. Perhaps we’re assuming again. They could have just talked it out and agreed to put it behind them, remain friends & coparent.
I'm not going to lie Iie I do feel like blk ppl feed off of baby momma/daddy drama too often &everyone is a professional therapist on this app. For what we know they may not be together but have plans on getting back together.
It’s because Virgos have analyzed the chart up & down, & have to come to the conclusion that their sign is just superior… and yes, my birthday is the 10th. ♍️✨ Lol!
for the astrology portion, if you follow sidereal astrology vs tropical, that would make most Virgos into Leos, which could be an explanation to why they go hard for their sign each month 😅
I take space from this space until I feel I have something valuable to say. I could be wrong about that value lol. But that’s my goal. I aim for quality over quantity these days ❤
I was surprised that it seemed like she broke up with him at all over the tweet. Yeah it was misogynist and public humiliation but knowing what so many women go through and put up with trying to hold their families together I didn’t see someone leaving the father of their child over a tweet. What my theory was was they were already having issues which is why she had extra “I’m out here” energy and why he lashed out and why she lashed back. I also don’t know that that live necessarily means they’re together together. There was some discourse that Usher video went too far and she was damaging the relationship with the father of her child for clout so this may have been a move to show he’s not tripping and they’re cool, whatever stage of togetherness or co parenting or working things out they’re in. Or maybe KeKe was just trolling the whole time. I can’t really root for them after some of his views being exposed but it is what it is. I don’t feel embarrassed that I had some fun watching all the developments and the music and the choreo and the mess.
I don’t think the public looks stupid because that all amounted to nothing, I think they look stupid. They had their whole relationship put under a microscope. People felt sorry for her and made him seem like a piece of absolute crap.
I feel like Keke is so dominant and bright, no wonder Darius felt insecure. Her tattooing his name on her butt is giving “let me help you feel secure” bone to him. Some men are really insecure and need you to be humbled, but she’s ready and willing to dim her own light. Virgo women get real goofy in a relationship.
I learned from Chrisean and Blueface to wait and see what happens. I can’t be more invested in the person leaving than they do but I did enjoy the video.
We've all had our share of giving problematic men 2nd chances. Livung your politics is harder than it looks. But just like Beyonce, we're going to continue to ignore their ain't shit partner and just root for her singular success.
I do also find it bizarre that ppl think an “unfollow” on social media denotes….ANYTHING, especially a break up. Some couples don’t follow each online, for self preservation reasons, bc it might cause unnecessary stress & drama or bc it’s just not necessary. The massive assumptions re: their relationship, were out of control.
Baby BEYONCÉ and MICHAEL JACKSON are Virgos. Also, we show up for others all year round so we show up for ourselves in a way that others never reciprocate.
Us Virgo go through a lot. Allow us to be great😁😂. Today is my bday btw (29 August). Shout out to Michael Jackson, Beyonce and all the other virgos out there😂😜
Having my 6 children betw 01’&16’ & breast feeding them, gave me an amazing body…really bad morning sickness I would lose weight only weight gained was the baby, no belly, bigger boobs (always had hips/thigh/booty)

Hey Steph! Love your channel. Virgo sign here. I must know a lot of Leo and Taurus signs, because baby, they will let you KNOW about their season, every day, every hour, every second. Steph, you must either know a lot of Virgos, have a lot of Virgos in your life, or someone scarred you (I hear about Virgo men doing their fair share of scarring). We Virgos love communicating our thoughts, ideas, and observations, so I will say the emphasis on communication (ruling planet Mercury) is a great point made. Also, the cultural significance of Beyonce in society is very important in the popularity of Virgo season. Beyonce's consistent mentions of her birthday/zodiac in her songs, media outlets, and presentation of her birthday as a celebration for fans, all have largely made Virgo season ever-present in popular culture. Let's not forget Kobe Bryant is a Virgo too ♍.
I think Virgos are soo boring, so emotion-less and tend to be so modest that when we get a little attention we go cuckoo lol "ITS VIRGO SEASONNN WOHOOOOOO". Then we take our supplements and go straight to sleep
Keke was wrong then and still is now. Idk if they're back together, they're probably friendly? If they're really back 2gether, she needs to be more respectful of her man. I would've never dated, married a celebrity.
Every year we have to suffer through CANCER SEASON and I haaaaate it. Virgo season is a respectable time of year, and we demand that respect every September. I intentionally left out August because those are our crazy cousins.
My biggest guess is they had this convo at home, he told her not to go she went anyways and wore something she knew he wouldn't like just to get a raise out of him. It worked he blew up on social media with a comment he knew would rub her the wrong way but it ended up rubbing the entire public the wrong way. I see this as them being petty. It happens in relationships aaalll the time especially when the relationship is fresh and both parties are young. The only reason that this is such a big deal is because she is a public figure but being famous does not replace being human. We humans tend to get petty. Unfortunately because we low key view celebs' life as a form of entertainment, there is a sense of permanence and a greater consequence to their every action. Lol I get why most celebs are depressed and lonely and prone to addictions. We make sooo many mistakes on a daily but our luck is that we get to learn from it and even forget it ever even happened but they don't get that privilege. Yes, I don't think that what went down was that big of a deal.
Ok as a Virgo- i can’t call it 😂😂😂- we just love Virgo season. For the most part, Virgos aren’t loud or in your face…. Until it’s about US - i guess we have to sing our own praises because we don’t get enough credit I have seen other signs do that though
Not my relationship . I’m going to mind my business because this is a woman and her man, and her child’s father ! I’m not going to talk a woman into single motherhood in THIS kind of situation especially knowing they were still together ! She never made an official post that they were broken up so I figured they temporarily separated
Everyone keeps saying “he embarrassed Keke!” Did she ever say that ? In a post, tweet or a video ? Or is that people projecting their embarrassment onto Keke? Bc she seems cool….
IMO it was all staged, the controversy was too convient given that she was immediately in an Usher video which also happens to be at the same time she was pursuing her music career🤷🏾♀️
It's because Virgos are considered at best, boring and organized, then at worst like you said, neurotic and judgmental. So we aren't really celebrated as much unlike the more "positive" signs, nor do we even get the attention the more criticized signs get, although it is largely negative. And besides Beyoncé, who has a good amount of Libra placements and a Leo Mars, and more recently Zendaya, we don't really have Virgo role models who most people can generally think of positively. Virgos often feel overlooked because of the way modern astrology has portrayed them, but they’re so much more than "organized hard workers.” Therefore, during their season they really want to highlight their more positive attributes that people don’t normally associate with them.
The only part of this story that was the least interesting is Usher. If it wasn't for Usher shady tweets, and social media antics, this whole thing wouldn't have been half as interesting. But Usher dead any misconceptions of the whole performance, when he basically said on tape and backstage that he basically viewed Keke as family and didn't know where it will lead but it will be great. Usher is way too mature and grown for this whole Keke situation. But this situation made me take a second look at him, his antis made him sexy.
