Academy-Award winning actress Lupita Nyong’o came through for the last strand of our edges Wednesday night for a tantalizing rendition of “Whatta Man” by Salt-N-Pepa & En Vogue on Spike’s Lip Sync Battle. Lupita held her own against her competitor Regina Hall, with the help of sexy backup dancers and a few fine ass firefighters.


The many layers of the multitalented entertainer and model have been revealed in recent years as she graces numerous magazine covers, puts in work through humanitarian efforts and even showing off her freestyle skills on IG. She’s a badass and keeps on surprising us time and time again.


Lupita is bae for life and Twitter agrees after her sultry performance.

But seriously, many of us have been a Lupita believer for quite some time. The rest of ya’ll are hella late.

As for that bawdy. Good God.

Is it possible for me to ever attain such toned physique?


Lupita says yes.
