(CNN) --
Keke Palmer refuses to allow any conversation comparing her to fellow actress Zendaya.
A tweet went viral over the weekend in which a Twitter user wrote: "I wish someone would do a deep dive into the similarities and differences between Keke Palmer and Zendaya's careers."
"This may be one of the clearest examples of how colorism works in Hollywood," the tweet continued.
"They were both child stars, but their popularity in popular culture is very different."

Palmer, who is one of the leads in Jordan Peele's new movie "Nope," weighed in with her own tweet on Sunday.
"A great example of colorism is believing that I can be compared to anyone. I am the youngest presenter in history," she tweeted.
"The first black woman to star in her own show on Nickelodeon, and the youngest and first black Cinderella on Broadway. I'm a talent beyond compare. Baby, THIS is Keke Palmer."

She went on to tweet, "I have been a leading lady since I was 11 years old."
"I have over 100 credits to my name, and am currently starring in an original screenplay that is the number one #NOPE box office movie," she wrote.
"I've had a blessed career so far, I couldn't ask for more but God keeps surprising me."
