AceShowbiz - Lupita Nyong'o may score a major record deal after showing her rapping skills on Instagram. The "Queen of Katwe" actress celebrated 3 million followers with a rap video on Sunday, September 25.

"Mexican-born Kenya running through my veins/ Dark chocolate plus I keep a sharp mane," she rapped, "Lancome fresh-face, looking tailor-made/ Disney on the books so you know I stay paid/ Next stop Katwe rocking out with David/ Don't do critics if you're hating please save it/ Ambassador for elephants trying to save the planet/ I'm working on my master plan stunting in a hammock."
Actress Miriam A. Hyman wrote the lyrics for Lupita, while the video was directed by her pal Katelyn Manley.
