Lupita Nyong'o is your new favorite Troublemaker.

On Sunday, the Queen of Katwe star introduced her hip-hop alter ego to Instagram, dropping bars to celebrate hitting the three-million-follower mark. "Mexican born, Kenya running through my veins. Dark chocolate, plus I keep a sharp mane," she rhymed over Nas' classic N.Y. State of Mind beat. "Lancôme fresh-faced, looking tailor-made. Disney on the books, so you know I stay paid. Next stop Katwe, rocking out with David. Don’t do critics — if you’re hating, please save it."

The subsequent bars were a lesson in flexing, with the Oscar winner highlighting her bilingual skills as well as her humanitarian efforts as a Global Elephant Ambassador for WildAid. And of course, Nyong'o made sure to acknowledge her ghostwriter, actress Miriam A. Hyman aka Robyn Hood, and her director, Katelyn Manley... in the caption.
