It looks like Usher and Keke Palmer are set to make more headlines.

The pair were the hottest of topics earlier this summer when Palmer’s boyfriend and baby father Darius Jackson took to social media to lambast the star’s choice of outfit while attending the performer’s Las Vegas residency. He moaned: “you’re a Mom.”

It didn’t take long for the masses hit Jackson was a bombastic side-eye and thunderous clap backs.

Now, in a surprise move, Usher and Palmer have joined forces for the interestingly titled ‘Boyfriend.’

Over a clever sample of Dionne Warwick‘s 1964 classic ‘Walk on By,’ hitmaking rapper Doja Cat uses her new song – ‘Paint the Town Red‘ – to trumpet her independence.

“B-tch, I said what I said/I’d rather be famous instead/I let all that get to my head/I don’t care, I paint the town red,” she declares on the Earl on the Beat-produced bop.

Teased earlier this week, ‘Paint’ comes just weeks after its predecessor – ‘Attention‘ – failed to garner much of its namesake on the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at #31 before quickly exiting the chart).

Undoubtedly one of many gems set to be performed on her headlining ‘The Scarlet Tour‘ (alongside Doechii and Ice Spice), look inside to get acquainted with ‘Paint’ before she delivers it live on a stage near you.

“I’ll be your blanket when it’s cold / And I’ll be your coffee when it snows / And if you get offbeat, I got flows (flows) / I’ll be on it, keep it honest, ooh, I promise,” she croons over the Jon Bellion-produced instrumental.
