Keke Palmer Shuts Down Debate Comparing Her With Zendaya, Calls it Colourism

#jaiyeorie Keke Palmer was upset by the online discussion that contrasted her career with Zendaya's.
She then made the decision to stop everything.


This tweet stated there was a difference between how the media discussed her career and how they praised Zendaya, which sparked the drama.


The tweet further added that the media described Keke’s role in Nope as her “breakout role” even though she has been in the industry for years, and that this “one of the clearest examples of how colorism plays out in Hollywood.”

Responding to this viral debate, Keke Palmer tweeted, “A great example of colorism is to believe I can be compared to anyone. I’m the youngest talk show host ever. The first Black woman to star in her own show on Nickelodeon, & the youngest & first Black Cinderella on broadway. I’m an incomparable talent. Baby, THIS, is Keke Palmer.”

“I’ve been a leading lady since I was 11 years old. I have over 100+ credits, and currently starring in an original screenplay that’s the number one film at the box office #NOPE. I’ve had a blessed career thus far, I couldn’t ask for more but God continues to surprise me,” she added.
