By After calling out people for “bullying and hate speech,” the songbird battled against the narrative that has haunted her for years.
“It’s not even a joke anymore, at this point it’s harassment, bullying and hate speech. I would start suing y’all, but there’s no point cause y’all are broke,” she tweeted. “Y’all are the group of ppl who would drive someone into committing suicide. it’s all fun & games tho. Good thing I was built for this.”

This prompted some social media to ramp up their criticism and they revisited the colorism controversy that has plagued the singer. Years ago, Queen shared a story of “black,” “ugly,” “nappy-headed” girls who would bully her in school, and the comments soon caused her to face accusations of colorism. She didn’t directly note the skin tone of those she was talking about, but that didn’t stop the internet from running with the narrative that the singer was a colorist.
While she has repeatedly apologized for her word choices, Queen has stood ten toes down that she isn’t a colorist. This was all brought up after her tweets circulated and once again, the singer was at the center of controversy.
“I never bullied anyone a day in my life. I was speaking on ppl who bullied me! I used a term to describe HAIR, not skin. which offended some ppl. I apologized & addressed it. Y’all are gonna keep bringing that up forever. And imma keep telling y’all the same thing,” she wrote. “Anyway let me get back to my job tho. Y’all are so jobless and lame. F y’all. Lol.”
