Things are heating up between Robert Pattinson, 27, and British muso FKA Twigs but their new romance has been tainted by awful Twitter users attacking FKA about her race.

"I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week," FKA, real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett, tweeted at the weekend. "Racism is unacceptable in the real world and it's unacceptable online."

One Twitter user, @hxzscurls, wrote: “you’re like a monkey, really i can’t believe that rob kissed you.'

Another user, @Angeelicacsp, wrote: ‘I can’t believe I have changed robert Goddess Kristen for this monkey.’

It’s not the first time 26-year-old FKA, who’s dad is Jamaican and mum is of both English and Spanish descent, has experienced racist remarks.

"People said horrible things about something I had no control of, which was tough," the ‘Two Weeks’ singer told Dazed magazine in June. "I never really saw anything wrong with how I looked, it was more that certain people pointed things out to you about yourself. Either your hair's different, or the colour of your skin, or your features.”

And as for Rob? It seems he’s done with Hollywood for a while. “I think I need to spend more time in London, or just move around a bit more. I've been in L.A. for six or seven years or something and it's weird,” he told The Independent's Radar magazine.

We’d welcome both FKA and Rob to Australia with open arms!
