Keke Palmer Opens Up About Sexuality, 'I Don't Have To Be Stuck Down To One Label'

When Keke Palmer released her video for "I Don't Belong To You" back in October, people started to wonder if the "Scream Queens" actress, who's now focusing more on her singing career, could be bisexual. In the steamy video, Palmer is seen in a troubled relationship with a man only to wind up dressed in some sexy lingerie, moving on with another woman.

The video sparked buzz about her sexuality, and if it was her personal way of coming out, but the 22-year-old actress and singer doesn't believe in labels.

"The video was to represent the young woman today-it's not the traditional woman anymore-and not the specifics of 'Am I gay? Am I straight? Am I bi?'" she told People. "I'm making the rules for myself, and I don't have to be stuck down to one label...I don't feel the need to define nothin' to nobody, because I'm always changing. Why say that I'm this or that when I might not be tomorrow? I'm gonna follow my own feelings and my own heart."

When the video was first released, she also said similar things about her sexuality and just doing whatever makes her happy. "I don't belong to anyone but myself," she told xoNecole. "I have to make my own decisions. Happiness is defined by me. My sexuality is defined by me. And that can change and this can change and I can make it what I want to make it because I'm the one who makes that choice. So that's what 'I Don't Belong to You' is saying. This song feels right. It feels right and it's telling who I am. And it captures my identity."
