‘Why You Play So Much?’: Keke Palmer Has Fans Cracking Up After She Compares Herself to Michael Jackson

Being able to laugh at yourself is a unique talent, and actress and singer Keke Palmer has got all the jokes. 

The “Akeelah and the Bee” star recently took to her Instagram page after what appeared to be a long day on set, where she uploaded what seemed like a regular selfie. The actress was seen wearing a forest green sweater and sporting a subtle makeup look.

A bit confused about her appearance, the star wrote, “Idk if it’s my expression, my beat, or my luscious and thick wig, but I feel like I favor Michael Jackson if you look with one eye closed real quick. 😅.”

The post garnered over 64,000 likes from fans within three hours of its posting. Folks in the comment section were taken aback by the random message, but they were left in stitches nonetheless. “Why you play so much? 😂😂😂” one Instagram user asked. 

Celebrity hairstylist Kahh Spence commented, “Not me closing one eye, and then the other and i’m like 😳😳😭😭😭.”

“I see it sis,” a third user expressed. “But you cute though.” A fourth said, “tell why I winked & tried closing my eyes ta see it 😂& I did fa a quick second 🔥☺️😂😂.”

While others struggled to see the resemblance, they showered the actress with love anyway, including one fan who wrote, “You’re absolutely beautiful, Keke! I’ve always been a fan of yours! 😍.”

Keke had fans laughing yet again earlier this week when she called out food delivery service Postmates. The “Jump In” star explained that after reporting a failed delivery for which she was charged to her bank in 2016, she was banned from being able to place orders on the platform. 

The 27-year-old revealed that, to her surprise, she was still banned from the platform five years later. After detailing the disappointing incident, Keke pleaded with the food delivery service to end their feud. “I forgave y’all for the wrongful charge. Now just forgive me so we can move forward.” Fans sympathized with the actress and even shared their negative food delivery experiences in a show of solidarity with the star. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
