Lupita Nyong’o K’naan dating rumor confirmed
Lupita Nyong’o is indeed dating rapper K’naan according to an alleged friend of the rapper. US Weekly was tipped off by a anonymous pal of K’naan who confirmed that the twosome has been together since September.
“She loves his humanitarianism,” says a pal of the “Wavin’ Flag” singer, 36. “They’re both passionate about African issues,” the friend added. Nyong’o, 31, is of Kenyan descent. K’naan is Somalian.
Prior to coupling up with the Oscar winner, K’naan married and had two sons with pharmacy tech Deqa Warsame. They divorced in 2010.
The alleged friend of the emcee also told US Weekly that he and the bold beauty are taking things slow. “She hasn’t met his kids,” the friend reveals.
As previously reported Nyong’o and K’naan were seen getting cozy on Instagram back in December when the rapper shared a photo showing only their teeth. After that, photographers spotted K’naan clutching her Oscar for her after a daytime talk show appearance.
Nyong’o was originally thought to be dating Hollywood hunk Jared Leto, who joked that she was his ‘”future ex-wife.”
