Keke Palmer rose to fame after starring in her own Nickelodeon series, True Jackson.
This was from 2008 to 2011.
3 years after wrapping the show, Palmer made history in more ways than one.
She landed her own BET talk show and was also the first Black actress to play Cinderella on Broadway.
“I waited my entire life for a moment like that,” she told Essence in 2016 about her experience in the role.
“I hate saying it was a huge deal that I was the first African American to be a part of this musical. It’s great, but I also want people to feel like it’s crazy, because it shouldn’t always be this way. But I loved that my little brother and sister got to watch this show and actually see a diverse world just like the one around them,” she said.
As Palmer grew as an actress with roles in Scream Queens, Star, and more, she became her own boss and launched her record label.
She had already been with 3 labels by her mid-20s.
“It’s about empowering myself,” Palmer told Billboard in February 2018.
“I want to empower my peers, so they also feel they’re not a part of the old way of doing things and be a part of the big bosses. Big Boss is about me helping expand and using what I know. I’m not always going to be Keke Palmer the entertainer, but it’s meant for me to get outside and move to the forefront. That’s what I’m building towards,” she said.
Palmer told Us Weekly exclusively in February 2020 that she wanted to do another challenging job, comedy.
“I have dreams of doing standup one day,” she said.
And it looks like her dream has come true!
According to TMZ, Palmer graced Saturday Night Live this weekend and made a surprising confession.
“There’s some rumors going around, people have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant,’ and I wanna set the record straight … I am!” she said.
The actress even said that people think it’s weird that she’s having a baby…
“Even though some people feel a little weird about me having a baby cause I was a child actor, I just wanna say, look, I’m 29, I’m grown, I have s*x, I own a home, I stormed the Capitol on January 6, you know? Things adults do,” Palmer added.
Congratulations!
