“I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week,” the singer, whose birth name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, tweeted.
“Racism is unacceptable in the real world and it’s unacceptable online,” she continued.
According to US Weekly, FKA is half-Jamaican and half-Spanish. She’s been public about her relationship with Pattinson since early September.
Pattinson romantic relationship with his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart ended after Stewart was caught cheating on him in 2012 with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. Since then, Pattinson has been romantically linked to model Imogen Kerr and Dylan Penn, the daughter of Sean Penn and Robin Wright.
