Lupita Nyong’o is starting to act like Cardi B after visiting Lagos, Nigeria for an event she was invited to by Engr. Olusegun Akann Doherty. The 37-year-old BET Awards winning actress rocked a blue ensemble with gele (headgear) and other accessories to match her outfit and overall she looked like a ‘Lagos slay queen’.

Sharing pictures from the ceremony, the ‘Queen of Katwe’ star who recently celebrated her birthday in Lagos penned the caption below:

Funmbi said, “Make her look like a Lagos slay queen.” Tolu obliged.
Grateful to have been a part of the celebration of Engr. Olusegun Akann Doherty’s well-loved life.

Seems the star had a great time in Nigeria, we might as well give her a Yoruba name like Omolabake, or what do you think?
