Keke Palmer addresses tweet on colorism, comparing her to Zendaya: 'I’m an incomparable talent'

Keke Palmer is "incomparable."

The "Nope" star, 28, hit back on comparisons of her career to Zendaya's after a tweet gained attention over the weekend discussing Hollywood's issue with colorism – discrimination against people of darker skin tones within the same race.

"I'd like someone to do a deep-drive on the similarities and differences between Keke Palmer and Zendaya's careers. This may be one of the clearest examples of how colorism plays out in Hollywood," a Twitter user wrote in a thread Saturday. "They were both child-stars, but their mainstream popularity is very different."

The tweeter later clarified the similarities, nothing both are a "triple threat" in that they can act, sing and dance. "But if Zendaya was darker, I don't know that she would be considered mainstream by their definition," the fan wrote.

Palmer entered the chatter Sunday to shut down the conversation.

"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," she said of her success on "Good Morning America" and Nickelodeon's "True Jackson, VP."

The "Alice" star added: "I’m an incomparable talent. Baby, THIS, is Keke Palmer."

"I’ve been a leading lady since I was 11 years old," Palmer continued in another tweet. "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."

 "Nope" took the top spot at the box office during its opening weekend, knocking "Thor: Love and Thunder" down to second after its third week.

USA TODAY's Brian Truitt rates the film three out of four stars. "'Nope' isn’t a particularly scary UFO film but is effectively unnerving. Peele plays with his audience in devilish ways before going big and bold with the visuals (particularly Hoyte van Hoytema’s dazzling cinematography) as well as the white-knuckle tension," Truitt writes.

Zendaya has not responded to the Twitter conversation comparing her trajectory to Palmer's, but has addressed the way colorism has played a role in her career in the past.

At BeautyCon in 2018, she discussed being Hollywood's perceived "acceptable version of a Black girl," adding, "And that has to change."

"We’re vastly too beautiful and too interesting for me to just be the only representation of that," the "Euphoria" star said. "What I’m saying, it’s about creating those opportunities, sometimes. You have to create those paths."
