Lupita Nyong’o makes Jay z proud

What started as a shout out from Jay Z in one of his tracks and a "thank you for that" delighted reply from Lupita Nyong'o has led to another unexpected collaboration in the Hip hop genre.The Kenyan Oscar winning actress has made an emotional debut as a video vixen in Jay Z ' s new song ' MaNyfaCedGod ' which he featured James Blake.Since the release of his latest album 4:44 the rapper has dropped one striking music video after another, and this one is certainly no different.

"MaNyfaCedGod,” a bonus track from Mr. Carter’s 13th opus 4:44, features musician James Blake.

In the black-and-white clip, directed by Francesco Carrozzini, Nyong’o takes us through an interpretive dance, meant to symbolize  the trials and tribulations of a broken relationship on the mend.

As the only character in the video, Lupita Nyong'o demonstrates the full range of her talents, portraying a woman who has been traumatized by a tumultuous relationship described by Hova in the lyrics.

From shock to rage, grief, despair and resurrection, the actress does a brilliant job of conveying all the emotions of a betrayed woman.

The Black Panther actress also recites words written by 13th-century poet Rumi, the latter of whom the Jigga Man’s newborn daughter with wife Beyonce is named after.“Be grateful for whatever comes, because each has been sent from a guide from beyond,” she says.
