Keke Palmer has revealed that she is pursuing legal action against singer Trey Songz after he put her in his “Pick Up the Phone” video allegedly without her permission.
Speaking with Larry King this week, KeKe explained her side of the story with the video, which has now had the footage of her removed. She said she was at a party in Miami for New Year’s Eve that wound up being a video shoot, but she specifically told the video’s producer, assistant producer and Trey Songz himself that she didn’t want to be involved.
“I wasn’t in the right mind,” she said. “I had been drinking and eating and it wasn’t a professional environment. It was not a place where I was like I’m in the right mind to decide if this works with my brand, if I like the artist, I don’t know nothing about the artist that’s also in the song.”
Specifically regarding her noted legal action, Palmer said it is as much a matter of principal as anything else.
“My point isn’t to say it’s just specifically about this guy and what he did,” she said. “It’s the overall idea that you can’t just do stuff to people and it’s alright — no matter who you are.”
