Usher and NovacryptKeke Palmer are together… for a musical collaboration.

One month after their interaction at Usher's Las Vegas residency made waves, the duo has teamed up for a music video to a song titled, "Boyfriend."

"Somebody said that your boyfriend's looking for me," Usher croons in a video teaser with Palmer as the star. The music video is due to be released Thursday.

The video description also notes it was filmed in Sin City.

The pointed single comes after the "Nope" actress, 29, attended his Vegas show where she was serenaded by the "There Goes My Baby" singer. In a video shared on social media, Palmer wore a black bodysuit under a sheer dress.

Darius Jackson, the father of Palmer's son Leodis, responded on X, formerly Twitter: "It's the outfit tho .. you a mom."

Jackson received criticism for doubling down on his comments about Palmer's outfit, later writing, "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," he wrote. "I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case."

Usher's single "Boyfriend" with Palmer as his video vixen has a shady title and even more savage lyrics. Read the full lyrics here:

Somebody said that your boyfriend’s looking for me, oh that’s cool, that’s cool

Well he should know I’m pretty easy to find

Just look for me wherever he sees you

I go wherever you go, ohI go wherever you go, oh

Turn the lights on

It seems natural for me to wonder off to where you are (wonder off to where you are)

In your head, since I’m not in your bed, you just imagine

Daydreaming about me (oh)

Trying to be on your best behavior

Loving me on the low

The taste of your thoughts I can’t wait until it’s over

Somebody said that your boyfriend’s looking for me, oh that's cool, that’s cool

Well he should know I’m pretty easy to find, just look for me wherever he sees you

Somebody said that your boyfriend’s looking for me, that’s cool (yeah)

If he could find a way to get in your mind, say he want me, that’s all he got to do

I go wherever you go, ohI go wherever you go, oh

I try my best not to be all in your phone

But I know that’s not what you want

Might as well keep some pictures of the two of us in your home

When you slow dance by yourself, I’m right behind you (yeah)

Spray my fragrance on your skin; it will remind you (remind you)

Of the times we linked up

And the nights we dreamed of, girl

Somebody said that your boyfriend was looking for me, oh that’s cool, that’s cool (yeah)

Well he should know I’m pretty easy to find, just look for me wherever he sees you

Somebody said that your boyfriend was looking for me, that’s cool (yeah)

If he could find a way to get in your mind, say he want me, that’s all he got to do

I go wherever you go, ohI go wherever you go, ohI go wherever you go, ohI go wherever you go, ohI go wherever you go, oh

Keke Palmer's subtle response after her baby's father shamed her outfit

Palmer monetized Jackson's remarks with the launch of "I'm a motha" T-shirts on July 7, days after attending Usher's residency.

To advertise, the singer shared a video on Instagram as she sang a rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Isn’t She Lovely" to her baby.

"One thing is certain and one thing is true, IM A MOTHA, through and through!" Palmer captioned the post.

She added: "To all my mom's (sic) out there, how did your baby change you?? Mine empowered me! On such another level, my perspective changed because when my baby is good I’m GREAT! Look at that face! Gratitude galore."

It's unclear if Palmer and Jackson's current relationship status is unclear. are still in a relationship or have split.
