While appearing on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna on Monday, Keke Palmer hilariously and effectively shut down the hosts' questions about her relationship with Darius Jackson.
After a bit of hinting at the information the hosts were really after, Jenna Bush Hager finally asked point blank:
"Are y'all together?"
The actor responded by "taking a page out of [her] girl Beyoncé's book" and quipped:
"Mind y'all's business."
The hosts obliged with Bush Hager promising:
"We will do that!"
You can watch the moment below.

Fans have actually been wondering the same, though, since this summer when the father of her 7-month-old son publicly shamed Palmer for a sheer outfit she wore at an Usher concert.
In response to a video circulating the web, Jackson wrote:
"It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom."
Of course, Jackson was heavily criticized for his comment, but nonetheless, he doubled down:
"We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is."
"This is my family & my representation."
"I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case."
Palmer in return made some obvious posts showing she was not fazed by Jackson's remarks, and just last month she appeared in a music video for Usher's new song "Boyfriend."
Usher! I remember when I was 12 and auditioned for \u201cIn The Mix\u201d\u00a0\ud83e\udd23\u00a0You have been killing it all my life.

Regardless of her relationship status, though, Palmer assured Kotb and Bush Hager that she is happy.
"Yes, life is good."
"I have nothing but gratitude, honestly. Seriously."
