Keke Palmer is yielding to the enticing lure of Hollywood, at least in the opinion of most people following the latest birthday photo of her posing topless. The star, who grew up in the eyes of the public staring in productions like Akeelah and the Bee and True Jackson, has remained a household name for years. More recently, she made headlines after her boyfriend mom-shamed her publicly for wearing an outfit that he deemed too revealing. While the ordeal has earned her the heart of netizens, she seems to have entered a somewhat rebellious era, proving even a “mother” can have it all.
Keke Palmer Embraces Thirty With Racy Photoshoot
While her boyfriend’s comment about her seemingly inappropriate dressing at an Usher concert is yet to blow over, the mom is back with one more provoking. Via Instagram, Keke Palmer shared a black and white photo of herself posing topless, with only a black bikini bottom on to mark her birthday.
In the pic, the actress posed standing, with one of her hands shielding her boobs while the other pulled up her bikini bottom. Her damp hair cascaded down her back in tiny curls, dye patches dotting her glowing skin. Captioning the post, the proud mom wrote,
“Yield.”
The racy photo has since divided fans, with many admitting the photo of Keke Palmer posing topless left them in shock. According to most fans, never would they have pictured Keke Palmer posing topless even with her recent string of glamorous photos. Despite the initial shock of the liberating photoshoot, fans could not help but commend the star’s enviable figure and ravishing beauty. One fan wrote,
“Embrace your womanhood. Amazing is an understatement.”
Another commented,
“It’s an ABSOLUTE YES!!!!! The Janet hair just…chef’s kiss.”
One fan admitted that while they would go insane if they stumbled upon such a risqué photo of their mom on social media, there was no denying how good she looked. Another commenter added,
“That Boddddddyyyyyy is Definitely Glowing, and you looking Amazing.”
The Internet Sweetheart Couldn’t Win Them All
Other fans were not so pleased with the photo. Contrariwise, they expressed disappointment at seeing Keke Palmer posing topless, more so on her thirtieth birthday. One of the commenters dropped a lengthy post about how Keke grew up in the eye of the public and has become a role model for most kids. Hence, having her embrace such photos could do more harm than good to the upcoming generations. A fan expressed their disapproval saying,
“This is the opposite of empowering.”
Another wrote,
“Keke, Keke, Keke, what in Kardashian is going on here, you are too much for this?”
Many pointed out that posing nude or topless was only an attempt to seek validation, and seeing Keke Palmer do that proved she was yielding to the intoxicating pull of fame. However, fans came to the crooner’s defense, letting naysayers know her body was hers to do as she pleased. Meanwhile, some opined that the crooner was simply acting up in response to her boyfriend’s mom-shaming comment, in a bid to jeer him further. Whatever the case might be, Keke Palmer’s statement-making birthday shoot will certainly go down in history.
