Twitter user @alexgracious claimed that she was blocked by Rihanna after she posted several images of the singer that she had photoshopped to show her with significantly lighter skin.
She captioned the edited images, “Rihanna would look so much more beautiful if she was white,” with an emoji with hearts for eyes.
Rihanna did not respond too well to the images and blocked her. The image proved the singer had seen the photoshopped images—despite not being tagged in the post—and was not happy about the edited images
Hundreds of social media users hit back at the tweet and voiced their disapproval, calling the light-skinned uploads “disrespectful” and “racist.” “It’s so disrespectful. Rihanna herself should slap this f***** racist b****,” a user wrote. “And you’d look so much more beautiful if you didn’t have an opinion,” another user hit back following her comments about Rihanna, while another user wrote in response, “Twitter would look so much more beautiful if you weren’t in it.”
Other Twitter users then urged social media users to report the offensive tweet for being abusive after the wave of criticism Alex received.
