Keke Palmer Responds To Zendaya’s Colorism Comparison: “I’m Incomparable”

Zendaya’s recent social media comparisons to Keke Palmer’s career don’t appear to be going over well with the actress. In a tweet on Saturday, Palmer, who is presently playing the role of Nope’s protagonist in Jordan Peele’s new film, was referred to as “one of the greatest examples of how discrimination plays out in Hollywood.”

Nope has been dubbed Palmer’s breakout role despite the fact that she and Zendaya were both child stars, according to a Twitter thread. According to Palmer’s tweets from the previous day, “A fantastic illustration of colorism is believing I can be compared to anybody.”

I am the youngest host of a talk show ever. Nickelodeon’s first black female lead and the first black Cinderella on Broadway. I’m a one-of-a-kind prodigy. My baby, Keke Palmer, is here.

“I’ve been a female lead since I was 11 years old,” the 28-year-old actress remarked. Even though I have more than a hundred credits to my name, I’m not now appearing in the highest-grossing film of an original screenplay. “God continues to amaze me, even though I’ve had a successful career thus far and could not ask for more.”

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.
