Since stepping out with Robert Pattinson, British singer FKA Twigs says she has been the target of racist comments on social media.

The 26-year-old musician, whose father is Jamaican and mother is parts English and Spanish, responded via Twitter to the so-called Internet trolls who have been posting the hateful comments.

FKA Twigs released her debut album, "LP1," last month to glowing reviews.

She was born Tahliah Debrett Barnett, but uses a stage name derived from an acronym for "formerly known as" and a nickname, Twigs, which she got from the way her joints crack.

Though she and Pattinson have been spotted together - most recently earlier this month in New York City's East Village - there is no official word on their status.

Meanwhile, Twigs was showing a little self-love after responding to the Internet bullies.

She posted an Instagram selfie, proudly declaring, "jamaica latina bambina."
