Fans react hilariously to Kelly Rowland's warnings

"This has fake written all over it"

Several fans believe that her post wasn't really necessary as it is obvious that the messages are fake. They felt that the texts are a good enough evidence for falsehood.

"But okay"

Another critic threw light upon the necessity factor of the posts. They hilariously talked about how Rowland took a step ahead to clarify about the texts received by fans.

Misspelled "plain"

Fans have comically commented on Kelly's take on the spelling mistakes in the message. They remarked that her focus on the mispelled 'plane' implies her disinterest about the lack of efforts in the bait messages.

"Just now seeing it"

According to netizens, scammers pretending to be celebrities is an ancient trick. Many have posted screenshots where they were approached for money by fake icons. However, most of the times, it was netizens who called the scammers out. Rowland addressing the issue on her official page has left the audience in stitches.

Is she promoting her new album?

Several critics are lowkey sceptical about the true motive of her concerns. They claim this is a promotional stunt for her new music, especially because it took her long to notice the scam strategy.

Get it together

Kelly fans have applauded their icon's bold approach to call out scammers. They feel that the awareness post was much needed to let people know about what they are about to fall for.

"This is Beyonce"

The person pretending to be Kelly Rowland claimed they are Beyonce, after getting ignored. The X-user quoted the message and netizens can't stop laughing at the backup strategy. "Hello this is Beyonce" turned into a popular copypasta in the comments.
