After posting a series of photos earlier this week, it's amazing that singer Kelly Rowland needed to even comment on the tone and color of her skin, but here we are.
Some of the photos posted from a recent photo shoot made the singer look a little lighter than usual, so Instagram trolls questioned if she had been bleaching her skin.

She continued, "It's not for me, so don't go saying stupid stuff like that."
Rowland said the shade of her skin could be the lighting and that, "I am still chocolate, forever."
And while Rowland took the high road, being as polite as she could be, her fans also stood by her side calling her "gorgeous" and saying she's still the "baddest chick in the world."
