In a recent social media post, Kelly Rowland took to her Instagram to address a growing wave of fraudulent posts involving her and her longtime friend and collaborator, Beyoncé. Rowland urged her fans to be cautious and avoid falling victim to what she called “scam” messages circulating online. The posts, which have been gaining attention on the platform, falsely claim that Rowland and Beyoncé are offering exclusive access to personal events or special giveaways, in exchange for money or personal information.

“I’ve been seeing some posts floating around that are misleading and downright dangerous,” Rowland wrote in a candid message shared with her millions of followers. “Please, do not engage with any accounts or links claiming to represent me or Beyoncé in any such capacity.

However, fans of both singers have rallied behind Rowland, with many taking to social media to share warnings of their own. The hashtags #StopTheScams and #ProtectOurFaves quickly trended across Twitter and Instagram, as fans showed support for Rowland’s message of awareness.

“This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this,” Rowland acknowledged. “But it’s a reminder that we all need
