Hollywood’s ‘It’ girl Lupita Nyong’o has been off the radar for a while but the Kenyan actress is definitely still attending events.
The 31-year-old actress attended the Sindika Dokolo Art Foundation dinner at London’s Cafe Royal last night and she took to her Instagram page to gush about meeting Nigerian artiste Asa, who Lupita called one of her favourite artistes.
She shared a picture of the two of them together and commented, “Not only did I meet one of my favourite artists tonight, but I also learned she has a new album!!! #Asa #BedOfStone #EarsTinglingWithAnticipation”.
Asa shared the same picture on her page and commented, “Last night I met this beautiful lady. I love and admire you @lupitanyongo #inspired “No matter where you are from, your dreamers are valid”
So apart from being a fashion slayer, Lupita also has good ears for music.
How can we not love her?

that album ‘Bed Of Stone’ is dope!…..best artist from naija in the ranks of Fela,KSA,Obey,Lagbaja,Tuface!
2face’s album is actually poor and i don’t think he deserves to be on the same league with those listed
oh my ASA…that album is so dope….best artist from naija in the Fela and Lagbaja league… that “Dead Again” I think is for that “Question Mark Label guy”
She wasn’t born in Kenya. Mexico!
@Pat Amibor are they talking about her place of birth or where she’s from?
But the article never said anything about where she was born now?
And, she is Kenyan in every way- Kenyan parents and doesn’t deny her Kenyan roots! Not saying she’s not also Mexican.
The article was later corrected. It was written “the Kenyan born actress”
Ask her where she’s from. She’ll tell you Kenya. Please get off freaking wikipedia that calls her Mexican and listen to her to hear what she calls herself. Lots of Nigerians were born outside of Nigeria and they are Nigerian.
Be quite I never said she is not Kenyan which ofcourse she is. It article initially stated “Kenyan born”
I would have done same were I to be in Lupita’s shoes. Asa is amazing!
They’re both beautiful ladies 🙂
Asa is a brilliant artist. Underrated but brilliant nonetheless.
I don’t think she is underrated, her genre is not as commercial, it’s quality not quantity. Underrated is Darey,dude has been there since 12 chords, I remember attending jazzville in 1997 or 8 and they were booed off the stage because they sounded so foreign, though they were 60% foreigners. That was when I knew him, he was so different and nice but still wasn’t so accepted.
Darey is amazing. I’m still trying to get his Undareyted album, after all these years 😉
Asa is of course amazing too.
To be honest, Nigeria is just so overblessed with musical goodness right now, we almost have a problem. Export export!
Haha…see how BN cashier this girl after the Oscars overexposure. She don taya una?
Fashi* this gile
“You dreamers are valid”?
lol 2face??? you dey dream… 2face has been off for years now
Love me some ASA. I love the fact that she has not commercialized her Music. She is great and her songs are really deep. Keep it up girl!
every of the song in that album is soo amazing ……Asa is on a whole different level……where does she shop for glasses tho..
Please don’t tell me you love me………
ASA is indeed a global ‘Nigeria success story’; I appreciate her a great deal. In her new album ‘Bed of Stone’, me love so much, the track EYO…
Asa is not in any way Underrate u r so wrong for that. Asa is the best Nigeria has rite now people who know gud music know. 2face I hope he gets the memo…same for wizkid n co…
