The video’s release is timely, considering in July the duo set the internet ablaze. When the R&B legend serenaded Palmer at his Las Vegas residency concert, the star’s boyfriend, Darius Jackson, took issue. The fitness instructor tweeted, “It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom.”

With her guest appearance in the music video, Keke Palmer is unfazed and the internet loves that for her. “A live visual of me supporting Keke Palmer,” @TheCourtKim began her tweet, a sentiment shared by many.

Social media also applauded Keke Palmer and Usher for their elite trolling.

And the irony of the song’s name is not lost on anyone.
