She wrote: "Over the past four years of being in the public eye I've learned to grow a thick skin to critics and those who may not like me.
"I've never been one to deny anyone of their opinions, but over the course of this last week and especially over the last 48 hours I've not just been cyber bullied...
"I've been racially cyberbullied with tweets and pictures so horrific and racially charged that I can't subject myself any longer to the hate."
Normani went on to explain that many other black celebrities have suffered racial abuse, but they should not have to put up with it.
She added: "I'm not the first black female celebrity to deal with this and I'm sure I won't be the last.
"I want to take this moment to say Love goes much further than hate in this world.
"Hiding behind a computer and putting people down, especially for the color of their skin doesn't make you cool, it makes you a coward!"
She also thanked bosses at Twitter for taking action after she reported the cyber-bullies, and insisted she will not be cowed by the bullies.
The pop star concluded: "I have nothing but love for everyone, even my haters and I hope I can lead by example.
"I also want to thank Twitter for immediately jumping into action when they were alerted to the situation. I love you all!"
