'Nope' Star Keke Palmer Epically Shuts Down 'Colorism' Debate After Fans Compare Her To Zendaya

\u201cA great example of colorism is to believe I can be compared to anyone. I\u2019m 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\u2019m an incomparable talent. Baby, THIS, is Keke Palmer.\u201d

\u201cI\u2019ve been a leading lady since I was 11 years old. I have over 100+ credits, and currently starring in an original screenplay that\u2019s the number one film at the box office #NOPE. I\u2019ve had a blessed career thus far, I couldn\u2019t ask for more but God continues to surprise me.\ud83e\udd79\ud83e\udd73\u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffe\u201d

\u201c@toukonchronos @KekePalmer You\u2019re lack of awareness has nothing to do with the fact that KeKe was a child star BEFORE Zendaya with a hit show on Nickelodeon two years before Zendaya got her show on Disney, and that was after Keke won critical acclaim for \u2018Akeelah and the Bee\u2019 with Angela Bassett in 2006.\u201d

\u201cShe basically said stfu and let Zendaya shine, because they\u2019re both doing quite well\u201d
