The alarming comment caught the attention of Lawson and her followers who quickly responded. According to the site, fans commented directly to Aviante4921, letting it be known that the comment had been documented and authorities had been contacted.

"I have your account reported to the FBI @aviante4921," a fan wrote as a comment on Lawson's photo. "Never think that because you are posting anonymously that you are anonymous from the authorities. This is a very heavy thing to say and you will be in Custody maximum of one week from today."

Lawson responded to the the concerned fan and informed @Aviante4921 that she too had contacted authorities.

"Thankyou Jfintel I just reported him to the authorities as well they are on it," Lawson commented. "As he just threatened murder and sexual assault in a public forum and is obviously a sick cowardly uneducated racist pervert."

According to EUR, the photo posted was a selfie that Lawson had taken using special lighting designed by Beyonce's stylist.

This woudn't be the first time that extra precautions have been taken to maintain the safety of the wife of rapper Jay Z. According to NY Daily News, "Yonce," mother of 3-year-old Blue Ivy, had to increase security back in 2013 after receiving threatening letters and fearing she may have a stalker. According to the site, a British man that Mrs. Carter met back in 2009 at a London function was suspected as the author of those threatening letters.
