Brent Faiyaz and Lupita Nyong’o heat things up in new short film trailer.
Faiyaz is set to drop a video for his hit song “WY@”, with Nyong’o as his leading lady. The clip starts off with Faiyaz complementing Nyong’o, he says, “with your fine a*s.” Throughout the clip, Faiyaz makes it clear that keeping his composure around Nyong’o was not an easy take.
The single is off Faiyaz’s debut mixtape Larger Than Life, released back in October and the visuals come at the right time on Valentine’s Day. Take a look below.
We previously reported that Nyong’o shut down rumors that she and Janelle Monae were an item. During a previous interview, Lupita says she can understand why fans would assume tthe are a couple. “[Janelle Monáe] has magnetism that they were obviously picking up on. She is that enigmatic. People are curious about enigmatic people.”
She continued, “It’s built into her spirit. Her openness creates intimacy onscreen. It’s really cool to see her move from one thing to another and do it with such mastery. … Just because you’re a close friend of hers doesn’t mean you get to know everything about her. I think that’s what makes her interesting as an artist.”
