Lupita Sends Jay Z “Thank You” Note for Mentioning Her in His New Jam

Late last month as Jay Z threw a classy shade at Drake he shouted out at Lupita for that all important Oscars win.

In his a freestyle track titled “We Made it,” Jay Z rapped;

I’m on my Lupita Nyong’o
Stuntin’ on stage after 12 Years A Slave
This Ace of Spades look like an Oscar
Black tux, look like a mobster

And now our Oscar girl has decided to return the favour. Lupita confirmed that she had indeed heard the shout-out and admitted that she was thrilled to have received a ”shout-out” from the 44-year-old rapper.

In a tweet directed at Jay Z and Jay Electronica, using their surnames, the award-winning Kenyan actress wrote,

“Dear Mr. Carter & Mr. Thedford, your shout-out made me screech with glee. Mad BK & NOLA love. #WeMadelt – LN @SC @JayElectronica.”

Lupita’s younger brother, Peter, was the first to react to Jay Z shout out to his sister. Check that out HERE.
