Lupita Nyong’o is one of those women Beyonce name-dropped in her empowering new song, entitled, ‘Brown Skin Girl.’
The Oscar winning acting powerhouse, took to her Instagram handle to rejoice and dance to the new Bop, featuring on Bey’s soundtrack album ‘The Gift’, especially curated for The Lion King.
An ecstatic Lupita can be seen jamming and moving to the track, filming herself beaming with joy, as Knowles gives her a shoutout:
“She need an Oscar for that pretty dark skin,
Pretty like Lupita when the cameras close-in.”
“Brown Skin Girl. Thank you @Beyonce for this Gift!! #BrightnessIsJustWhoYouAre,” Nyong’o wrote as a caption to the video.
