"And it's like, you almost feel that pressure of needing to be perfect. And so, it really confused me and infiltrated my mind because not only did I have to hold myself to that perfect standard, I was also holding you to a perfect standard as well," he continued. "So, any moment of flaw on my side or on your side it was World War III because it's like, man, now the world sees us." From there Palmer brought up the importance of privacy in the relationship.
As for their recent dispute, Jackson had written on social media: "It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom." When he started receiving backlash for the comment, he elaborated: "We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn't want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is. This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe." The spat is just the latest drama that has stemmed from Usher's residency in Las Vegas.
