Since it was learned that "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson has been dating fellow British artist FKA Twigs, much speculation and coverage have been made over their relationship. This is despite the efforts of both parties to stay mum about their romantic liaison.

And now, it has been reported that the singer, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, has become the target of racist comments on Twitter, the Daily Mail said.

"I can't believe I have changed robert Goddess Kristen for this monkey," tweeted one user, as noted by the British publication.

"@FKAtwigs I do not wish you badly but I hope that a train happens to you for this face of monkey that you have," said another user's post, according to Jezebel.

Such comments, and more of a similar theme, have "shocked and disgusted" the 26-year-old singer-songwriter. In response to the hateful messages, she tweeted the following:

"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," her second tweet read.

"Tahliah has a father who is Jamaican and a mother who is of both English and Spanish descent," the Daily Mail said. "The British singer is no stranger to racist comments, having experienced it in her childhood while attending a Catholic school as the only mixed-race girl."

According to E! News, FKA Twigs had previously revealed in an interview that she did not see anything wrong with her looks and that it was other people who did so.

"It was more that certain people pointed things out to you about yourself. Either your hair's different, or the color of your skin, or your features," she was quoted as saying.

"Half of my life I've had people staring at me because they think I'm funny-looking and ugly. The other half of my life I've had people staring at me because they think I'm fascinating," she continued.

It goes without saying that R-Patz is one of those who have been enamored with her exotic looks.

"Rob is so crazy about Tahliah that he wants to show her off to the world. He's proud to show her," an insider told Hollywood Life. "He's been taking her to his favorite hangouts -- like No Vacancy -- to listen to music; places he used to go to with Kristen."

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

Perhaps some Twihards will do well to give Rob a break and just let him love whom he chooses. Your thoughts, readers?
