Lupita Nyong’o Dating ‘Wavin Flag’ Rapper K’naan: ‘Star Wars 7’ Actress Over Michael Fassbender, “Very Much In Love” With Somali Canadian Rapper Boyfriend

Lupita Nyong’o is dating rapper K’naan of ‘Wavin Flag’ fame. People Magazine’s ‘Most Beautiful Person’ is now officially off the market! She has been linked to Michael Fassbender and Jared Leto in the past, but now the ‘Star Wars 7’ actress is “very much in love” with her new rapper boyfriend.

Lupita Nyong’o and K’naan have been spotted together at a Brooklyn Italian restaurant, according to Capital FM Kenya. She confirmed her new boyfriend in the latest issue of Vogue. The article wrote that the 36-year-old rapper and the 31-year-old actress share interest in a "myriad issues confronting their homelands”.

K’naan’s ‘Wavin Flag’ was the official anthem for 2010 South Africa World Cup. The music went viral and soon became a favorite, unlike the Pitbull-JLo catastrophe of Brazil World Cup.

A source close to the ‘Star Wars 7’ actress reportedly told Capital FM Kenya that “they look very much in love and not afraid to show it”.

"She loves his humanitarianism. They're both passionate about African issues."

Lupita has been super cautious about her newfound fame and has been giving rehearsed answers to magazine interviews. Her interview with New York Magazine earlier in the spring has been criticized for being boring, wooden and flat.

But it looks like the actress is opening up to the press a little more! As the cover of Vogue this month, Lupita Nyong’o really stepped up her game in the interview, revealing tidbits about her dating life. Or maybe being voted the Most Beautiful by People Magazine helped her get over her cautiousness. It could also have something to do with being cast in ‘Star Wars 7’.

Or maybe it was the snake! Lupita had to rehearse posing with a snake for the cover. See her squirm with the length reptile in her Instagram video!

‘Star Wars 7’ actress captioned the video, “@voguemagazine #bts: rehearsal for the snake shot. Nobody said being on the cover would be easy. #FightYourFearAndWin”.
