She is known for playing leading and character roles in comedy and drama productions, and has appeared in blockbusters and independent films. 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).

Outside of acting and music, she hosted the talk show Just Keke (2014), co-hosted the talk show Strahan, Sara and Keke (2019–2020), and hosts the revival of the game show Password (2022–present).

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, she 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.

In 2008, Palmer began her starring role as the title character in Nickelodeon sitcom True Jackson, VP. Palmer also wrote and performed the theme song for the series. Palmer earned $20,000 per episode of True Jackson, VP, which made her the fourth-highest-paid child star on television.[24] In July 2009, designer Jane Siskin created a Walmart fashion line inspired by True Jackson, VP, with all the designs being approved by Palmer.[25] She also played the lead role in the 2008 film The Longshots.[26] True Jackson, VP ended in 2011.[27]

In doing so, she became one of the youngest talk show hosts in television history; the show itself has been regarded as "groundbreaking" and "refreshing".[37] In September 2014, Palmer became the first African American to star as the title character in the musical Cinderella on Broadway.[38] She performed her final show during the closing night of the show's run on January 4, 2015.[39] Later that year, Palmer announced that she had signed with Island Records.[40]

2020s

[edit]

Strahan, Sara and Keke ended unexpectedly in March 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic ended live studio programming through the industry, and ABC decided to shift the timeslot towards news.[56] Palmer later received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host alongside Haines and Strahan.[57] That same year, Palmer began starring in a web television comedy series titled Turnt Up with the Taylors, in which she portrays all of the characters.[58] She released an extended play titled Virgo Tendencies, Pt. 1 on August 28.[59] On August 30, Palmer hosted the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, during which she also performed her song "Snack".[60][61] She released a follow-up EP – Virgo Tendencies, Pt. 2 – in December 2020.[62] The following year, Palmer won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for her performance in Turnt Up with the Taylors.[63] Later in the same year, Palmer briefly hosted a reboot of the classic 90's MTV dating show Singled Out with Joel Kim Booster as her co-host for the short-lived online streaming service network Quibi.

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 was released on November 19, 2024.[78][79]

Palmer works with the Boys' and Girls' Clubs of the American charity Cool To Be Smart program, speaking to children about the importance of learning. She is also a supporter of Urban Farming and the Girl Scouts.[80] She has worked with the YWCA and Saving Our Daughters.[80] As of 2010, Palmer has been a representative for the Saving Our Daughters project, an anti-bullying campaign.[81] She is a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement.[82] In 2020, she marched in Hollywood, California, as part of the George Floyd protests.[83] That same year, she addressed the movement during her opening monologue at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards.[84]

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 amblyopia,[90] and has dealt with polycystic ovary syndrome for much of her life. She has also struggled with anxiety and depression.[91][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 in 2024, 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 radio show, 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]
