“It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” he tweeted on Monday, sharing the viral video of Keke being serenaded by the R&B superstar. Despite catching flak for his comments, he stood by his beliefs.
"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," Darius wrote. “This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.”
He later seemed to delete his social media in response.
Darius sparked a firestorm when he shamed Keke over her attire, causing fans to defend the actress.
“Don’t let baby daddy dictate what you wear! Put that s--- on," one person instructed. "LIVE YOUR DESTINY KEKE! We knew who you were before we knew that man. Respect to you but we still don’t really know that man. Please stay EXPANDING AND IN THIS JOYOUS, JUICY DIVINE FEMININE ENERGY. You need massive masculine energy to HOLD YOU BABY AND YOU DESERVE IT! We rooting for you," added another.
Keke and Darius welcomed their son, Leodis, in February.
