FKA twigs responded after a Calvin Klein ad was banned because it portrayed her as a "stereotypical sex object."
A British regulator has felt that the poster - showing the singer wearing just a denim shirt - was likely to cause serious offense by objectifying women.
Writing on Instagram, she suggested the ban - which came after a campaign featuring actor Jeremy Allen White went viral - showed "double standards".
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said its decision was clear.
In the ad, FKA wore a denim shirt pulled to her mid-length, showing the side of her butt and half of a breast.
Above her, the text read: "Calvins or nothing."
The ASA found that the image "placed viewers' attention on the model's body rather than on the clothes advertised."
By focusing on her "physical characteristics", he continues, he believes that advertising l was "presented as a stereotypical sexual object."
