FKA Twigs doesn't mind if people don't like her music.
The singer claims she can handle criticism for her image or music on social media, but refuses to accept abuse because of the colour of her skin.
Of English, Spanish and Jamaican descent, she admitted whilst speaking to the Observer newspaper: "Obviously I know if you're putting yourself out there saying, 'Hey! Listen to my music!', with pictures of yourself in the magazines, then people are going to judge you.
"'I hate her music. I hate her hair. I hate her production. I hate her videos'. Fine: don't care. That's the great thing about art, it's not for everyone. But when it comes to racism, really? In this day and age? Pick that?"
She also confessed that despite bagging herself a superstar boyfriend in Robert Pattison, she is wary of becoming complacent.
"Oh, I'm nothing. I'm nothing right now. I think it's easy to sit in this trendy café, in a trendy little area of New York, and say, 'Ooh, I'm FKA Twigs'. But outside of these four blocks, does anybody really give a s**t? Probably not."
The 'Water Me' singer added: "I'm appealing to people who want something different. But the world, on the whole, doesn't really embrace different things. Not on the whole."
