After a viral run to the GRAMMY stage, Durand Bernarr joins Keke to talk about the years behind his GRAMMY win for Best Progressive R&B Album, BLOOM. He reveals why he’s proud his career has been a “slow burn,” and why staying independent matters in an industry that often pushes artists to change who they are. They also get into dating, masculinity, and monogamy before a game turns into a full-blown vocal MOMENT, belting nursery rhymes with a twist and proving exactly why he’s as talented as he is hilarious.

About the Show:
Keke Palmer has questions, and she’s not afraid to ask them.
On ‘Baby, this is Keke Palmer,’ Keke sits down with artists, actors, entrepreneurs, experts, and creators shaping culture. These aren’t just promo stops or viral moments. They’re honest, layered conversations about identity, relationships, reinvention, success, and growth.
Pop culture moves fast. Opinions move faster. But nuance takes time, and that’s what Keke makes space for. Because culture is more than a headline. It’s a reflection of who we are.
And baby… this show holds up the mirror.
New episodes every Tuesday.
