FKA twigs

FKA twigs has been shocked by the level of racist abuse she’s received because she’s dating Robert Pattinson.

The singer claims she’s been targeted since it came to light that she is dating the Twilight actor.

She wrote on Twitter: "I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week."

"Racism is unacceptable in the real world and it's unacceptable online."

The 26 year old, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, is left reeling from the horrific comments after confirming her relationship with Pattinson.

Last week, Robert was said to have "fallen hard" for his new girlfriend following his split from Kristen Stewart, his girlfriend of five years.

A source said: "Rob is falling hard for Tahliah. He's just enamoured with her beauty, creativity and confidence. He hasn't felt this way about someone since Kristen.

"This is his girl and Rob is beyond proud to show her off. They became instant friends at first and it blossomed into a romance. He's really taken with her and not afraid to show it."

FKA previously revealed she suffered racist abuse when she was younger as the only mixed-race girl in a Catholic school.

She recently told Dazed and Confused magazine: "Either your hair is different, or the colour of your skin, or your features. Half of my life I've had people staring at me because they think I'm funny-looking and ugly."
