Lupita Nyong’o & K’naan

Ex-couple, Lupita Nyong’o and rapper K’naan, both met in Hollywood thanks to their overlapping circle of friends in Hollywood. They both came from diverse races and ethnicities — Nyong’o is Kenyan-Mexican and the rapper is a Somali-born Canadian.

In 2014, the Black Panther actress sparked dating speculations after there were sightings of the two cozying up. However, their relationship seemed to have come to an end. They reportedly broke up after a few months. The actress was then linked to Jared Leto but their romance was not officially confirmed. The Oscar winner has not been reported to be dating anyone and has made investments into producing her own children’s book Sulwe. Nyong’o is also set to make an audiobook and Netflix documentary about the story. Meanwhile, the Bang Bang hitmaker has not been linked to anyone since his brief romance with Nyong’o.
