Among the birthday photos, Palmer also posted a family snapshot featuring her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson, and their one-year-old son, Leodis. This image drew further attention, particularly given the recent legal and personal issues between Palmer and Jackson.
In her post, Palmer shared, “I don’t want to be long I just wanna be clear! I AM GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR ANOTHER YEAR! I’m not here for a long time but I am here for a community rich time and that’s what I have. It’s my birthday but it’s my community’s birthday too because they are the ones that got me this far.”
She continued, “We are all alone in this world, we come in alone and we go out alone but what we share is this experience. In that shared experience, we know what it’s like to be as one in togetherness, in that community is where God lives. In that love, that hope and that joy. I am forever grateful to know that and to have that. This is 31! More pictures coming because me and my crew looked fly all night!!! (So mad I didn’t get a solo shot with my dad!!!).”
Recent Developments with Darius Jackson
Legal Issues and Restraining Order
Palmer’s decision to share a photo with Jackson comes after significant legal drama. In May, Palmer dropped her domestic violence restraining order against Jackson. This order was originally filed in November 2023, with Palmer alleging physical and emotional abuse during their two-year relationship. The initial request also included a bid for sole custody of their son.
The hearing for the restraining order, scheduled for last month, was cancelled after Palmer’s attorney filed to drop it. This legal shift follows a period of intense scrutiny and public interest in their relationship.
