KWN is clearing the air about previously naming Keke Palmer as her celebrity crush. Months ago, the singer told Angie Martinez that Palmer was her crush, calling her pretty, funny, and sweet. However, during a recent interview with Complex, KWN revealed that her team actually suggested she name Palmer if she was asked the question, calling the answer a “joke.”
When asked who her real celebrity crush is, the KWN Keke Palmer crush clarification led her to name Euphoria star Alexa Demie instead. The clip discussing the exchange appears to have been removed from circulation, but not before fans caught wind of the reveal. The moment sparked mixed reactions online, with some defending KWN for following her team’s guidance and others questioning why she would name someone as a crush if it wasn’t genuine.
KWN, whose real name is Kiana Ledé, has been building momentum in her career with a string of R&B releases and high-profile interviews. The crush confession, real or scripted, became one of her most talked-about moments, though it now appears to have been a coordinated answer rather than a spontaneous one. Neither KWN nor Palmer has commented further on the matter.
