Scream Queens actress and singer Keke Palmer took to Instagram on Saturday to call out R&B singer Trey Songz for including her cameo in his music video without her permission.
The music video in question is Trey Songz and Fabolous‘ remix to the Travis Scott and Young Thug song, “Pick Up the Phone,” which was released on YouTube yesterday.
The drama started after a Twitter user shared a clip from the video and tagged the former child star and she immediately notified everyone that she repeatedly told the singer not to use that video recording in his works.
“This is preposterous. How am I in this video Trey? After you found me in a closet HIDING because I was so afraid of anymore conflict,” Palmer writes. “Literally my last option was to hide because you all would not listen when I said I did not want to be in the video the FIRST time.”
She continues, “Just cause you give someone food and alcohol and throw in a little sexual intimidation doesn’t mean they will buckle. Yet, you still disrespected me as a young women, whom you’ve known since she was TWELVE. YOU STILL, defied my wishes and in turn showed your lack of respect for a brand that took me fourteen years to build and put me in the video against my wishes.”
The actress added that the singer secretly filmed the shot. From the cameo, she is seen sitting on a couch, taking selfies. Also, her likeness appears as rapper MIKExANGEL says, “I palm her p–sy like KeKe / Like KeKe, Like Keke”.
“Come on bruh, I clearly said no and you said okay, yet I was being secretly filmed when you told me ‘let me just show you the idea’? Wow. This is what I’m referring to in my previous post, this is the sexism and misogyny I refer to because if I was a dude, he wouldn’t have even tried me like this,” Palmer says.
“Let this be a lesson to all, I’m not for the bulls–t.” she goes on. “I’m serious about my business and you will not use my likeness without MY permission. When you in front of a boss you treat them like one, like I treat YOU. NO MEANS NO!!!!!!!”
“People have to listen to women and stop questioning them and their intelligence. Speak up, cause when you look someone in the face and they say ‘I understand. You don’t have to feel pressured to do the video’ and they STILL put you in it, it is a violation. It would be great to be able to handle these things privately but why when they aren’t respected?” Keke adds.
But Trey Songz reacted to the accusation, insisting that Keke was duly informed and actively took part in the live recording.
