A Twitter user has claimed she was blocked by the international pop star Rihanna after she posted a number of images of the singer with much lighter skin.
The images were uploaded to Twitter earlier this year with the caption: "Rihanna would look so much more beautiful if she was white."
Â
Tweeting and sharing Photoshopped images of celebrities with lighter skin has seen a worrying rise in recent month.
Pictures of Beyonce and Rihanna are particularly popular, with multiple images of the stars being shared almost as widely as they have been condemned.
Â
And the condemnation is always swift.

Including, it would appear, from Rihanna - who allegedly blocked Alex on Twitter after she shared the images:
Â
Which seems like the most grown up and sensible way to deal with this situation to be honest.
In a rather pleasing twist, Rihanna is currently being applauded for her Fenty Beauty 40 shades of foundation range.
It boasts a shade of foundation for everyone, regardless of their skin tone - and has beauty bloggers hailing it as a win for both light and darker skin.
Including Krystal Robertson, an albino woman who says the make-up from Rih has revolutionised her routine.
