Keke Palmer Talks NAACP Win, “One Of Them Days,” And The Art Of Sleuthing

This film is hilarious, there’s no doubt about it. I loved the part where your character asked their hairstylist to break into a man’s phone, because we all know that one person who has a special set of skills. What are your special set of skills that all of your friends come to you for?

Keke: Well, I’m definitely the friend that will stalk your man, your girlfriend, whoever it is, and find out all the information you need to find. I can literally find out by the look of the nails, you know what I’m saying, the tip of the hat, the, the hand, the veins of the hand, like. I am absolutely the best sleuth that you will ever find so they always call me for that. I’m also the person that’s down for anything, and I’ll make sure that we don’t go to jail, you know, “Are we pulling up to his house? What are we doing? How we gonna get there? Do you need me to call a girl and contact her on my Finsta cause I’ll do it” I’m that friend. 

Okay, so what is your best sleuthing tip?

Keke: I usually look in the likes. Especially if it’s not too popular of a page, and nowadays you can go in there and actually put a name in the likes, you know what I’m saying? So I look in the likes usually to find information because somebody might not comment, but they might like a pic, so that’s a good way – you know tagged photos and things like that, but a lot of people have gotten onto that, so they turn off their tagged photos and then you’re like drat! The likes always, the likes reveal everything.
