She has received numerous accolades, including two Primetime Emmy Awards and nominations for a Daytime Emmy Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Time magazine included her on their list of most influential people in the world in 2019.[2]

Palmer made her film debut as a child with roles in the films Barbershop 2: Back in Business and The Wool Cap (both 2004),[3] before achieving her breakthrough starring in the drama film Akeelah and the Bee (2006). Her career progressed with roles in films such as Madea's Family Reunion (2006), Jump In! (2007), The Longshots (2008), and Shrink (2009), and the release of her debut studio album So Uncool (2007).

Palmer transitioned to mainstream roles with the VH1 biographical film CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story (2013), and afterwards made her Broadway debut as Ella in Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella (2014–2015). She has since starred in television series such as the Fox satirical horror series Scream Queens (2015–2016), the Epix drama series Berlin Station (2017–2019), the slasher series Scream (2019), and the Facebook Watch series Turnt Up with the Taylors (2021).

Early life

[edit]

Lauren Keyana Palmer was born on August 26, 1993,[5][6] in Harvey, Illinois, and was raised in nearby Robbins, Illinois.[7] She grew up in a Catholic household.[8][9] Her parents, Sharon and Lawrence "Larry" Palmer, who met in drama school, had both worked as professional actors before settling into full-time jobs. Her father, who is a Catholic deacon, works for a polyurethane company, and her mother is a high school teacher who works with autistic children.[10][11][12] The nickname "Keke" is not a shortening of "Keyana": according to Palmer, her name came about because her older sister had an imaginary friend named Keke before she was born.[13] Palmer first sang in a church and performed at a stage show at a Chicago tourist destination. In 2002, Palmer auditioned for a stage production of The Lion King at age nine.[10]

In 2006, Palmer had her acting breakthrough starring in the film Akeelah and the Bee, playing the titular Akeelah, a bright 11-year-old who comes from a poor neighborhood and competes in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.[15] Moira Macdonald of The Seattle Times wrote that Palmer "makes an appealing heroine".[16] For the role, she won a Black Reel Award and an NAACP Image Award.[17][18] She also had a supporting role in the 2006 film Madea's Family Reunion.[19] The following year, Palmer appeared in the thriller Cleaner.[20] She portrayed a lead role in the television film Jump In![21] Palmer also starred in two television programs Tyler Perry's House of Payne and Just Jordan.

2020s

Other ventures

[edit]

Palmer hosts her own podcast, Baby, This is Keke Palmer.[75][76] Her biography I Don’t Belong to You: Quiet the Noise and Find Your Voice was published on January 31, 2017.[77] On August 5, 2024, Palmer announced her second book Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your Narrative, which is set to be released on November 19, 2024.[78][79]

Palmer was included in Time's 100 Next list in November 2019,[85] which "spotlights 100 rising stars who are shaping the future of business, entertainment, sports, politics, science, health and more."[86]

Artistry

[edit]

Palmer's first studio album, So Uncool, was heavily influenced by contemporary R&B, being described as "bright, bouncy, and melodic enough to appeal to teens and pre-teens. Fans of dancey teen pop will want to give this auspicious debut a listen".[87] Palmer was influenced by American R&B singers Ciara, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Aaliyah, Brandy, Mary J. Blige, and Whitney Houston as well as girl group TLC.[88][failed verification] Among her urban influences, Palmer also cites pop artists Gwen Stefani and Avril Lavigne.[89]

Personal life

[edit]

Palmer has dealt with polycystic ovary syndrome for much of her life. She has also struggled with anxiety and depression.[90][91] Palmer has amblyopia.[92]

Palmer has said she does not want her sexuality defined by labels; she believes that people should be fluid with labelling themselves, as their identities can change.[93] In February 2017, during an interview on The Wendy Williams Show, when asked by Williams whether she was sexually fluid, Palmer replied, "Yeah, I like whoever loves me. Love is defined by the individual, and what I feel today is not what I necessarily may feel five years from now. I don't want to limit myself to one feeling or one idea of anything."[94] In 2019, as part of the #YouKnowMe campaign, she shared via Twitter that she had an abortion at the age of 24.[95]

In an interview with People magazine, Palmer disclosed that she was molested as a child and did not realize it until she read a book about sexual abuse.[96]

Relationships

[edit]

Palmer spoke publicly about her turbulent relationship with singer Trey Songz after he allegedly tricked her into being in a music video while at a party in 2017. Palmer accused the singer of "sexual intimidation," disclosing that she hid in a closet to avoid being filmed and berated by Songz, only to later realize that he and his friends had recorded her without prior knowledge or consent. Songz denied the claims during an interview on The Breakfast Club, stating: "I did not put her in the video without her permission. I don't care that much to sneak Keke Palmer in the video for two seconds."[97][98][99]

In June 2021, Palmer began dating fitness instructor Darius Jackson.[100][101] While hosting Saturday Night Live on December 3, 2022, Palmer announced she was expecting her first child with Jackson.[102][103] Their son was born in February 2023.[104][105] Palmer and Jackson separated in October 2023, following a series of alleged incidents surrounding domestic violence throughout their relationship.[106] In November of that year, Palmer was granted a temporary restraining order against Jackson as well as temporary sole custody of their son. She dropped the requests in May 2024 and their domestic violence restraining order hearing was canceled.[107][108]
