Exclusive: Lypita Nyong’o Is Dating “Wavin’ Flag” Rapper K’Naan Not Jared Leto!
New couple alert!
All through awards season 2014 rumours have been swirling that Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o is dating fellow oscar winner Jared Leto. The two have been spotted at various ceremonies since the start of the year looking like they could be a couple, she even addressed their rumoured coupling last week on the Ellen Show.
Well if indications are anything to go by Lupita is actually dating Somali-Canadian rapper K’Naan, who sang “Wavin’ Flag” theme song for 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Now that Lupita is an Oscar winner the media is interested in more than her fashion and as such the paparazzi have started stalking her. This morning she was spotted by the paps lens enjoying a cuddle from an
unidentified man, who even held her Oscar award which she won the day before.
They were spotted arriving together in the early hours of Monday L.A., at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre for an appearance on Live With Kelly & Micheal’s Special Oscar Edition were she joined Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan to relive her amazing Oscar win.
When I saw the photos, were he was identified simply as a “pal”on Daily Mail, I guessed the man in the picture was definitely her boo, especially because she let him hold on to her Oscar the entire time…LOL
Well I can tell you now that the man in the picture is Somali-Canadian rapper K’Naan (real name: Keinan Abdi Warsame). Clearly Lupita plans on keeping her relationship with K’Naan private. A few days ago she was spotted front row enjoying his performance on 27th February at The Hotel Cafe, LA, where she requested no pictures were taken of her.
36 year old K’Naan was married to Deqa Warsame, they divorced in 2010.
