“She clearly sucks up to the white man” Kenyans accuse Lupita Nyong’o of being snobbish towards African interviewers after her Larry Madowo interview

If you are a fan of Lupita Nyong’o you have watched all of her interviews on ‘Jimmy Fallon’, ‘The Ellen Show’ ,One on One’ ,’The Trend’ Capital F.M and even ‘Good Morning America’

And during the interviews she has had the American audience fall in love with her affable attitude, warmth and exotic Kenyan accent.

But her latest interview seem to have pissed off a section of her Kenyans fan who claim that she looked bored and gloomy during her interview with Larry Madowo.

Here is a mixture of the reactions both on Facebook and You Tube

Jacque Mbai: Lupita sounds rude to Larry, but I LOVE YOU

Pesh Alvo: She has attitude here i like her to bt if u watch her on the other shows ul notice the difference

jo4 days: she clearly sucks up to the white man…..this definitely not how she does interviews out there!

Rose Wakariru: Something is amiss here.lupita seems like she can’t stand Larry. Looking forward to see the movie.

Mary Linda:She should know white people don’t like her and black American too. Her look fits the slave type and the white people are using it to appease us for their inhumanity by branding her beautiful, talented etc..More like reverse psychology not my words though. She should enjoy the benefits of it though, coz it won’t be long b4 they drop their pretence

Tabitha Gakonde‎ : Larry … I just got done watching your interview with Lupita Nyong’o.. Why do you guys insist to interview her with her bad attitude? I just don’t get it with Africans…when they get the platform they think they are the real deal …, l mean she won’t be the last one … Don’t get me wrong l love and celebrate her … I just wish her attitude will be better .., its different when l watch her being interviewed here in the US .., Wooyei l was admiring your big smile and kind heart but she did not embrace that at all. Don’t waste your airtime next time ..l liked the kids they were full of energy and very positive …

Sharon Charice : People have issues kweli I didn’t see any attitude in lupita she answered the questions really well and in a humble manner. Tabitha Gakonde what’s your definition of attitude?

Pauline Indieka: Pthoooo gere ya nini Jamani. .give credit where it’s due. ..not criticism all the time. …i love Lupita. …she’s a star. …she has done us proud. …kudos to her. ..

Derrick O’r :Hakuna attitude, it’s all envy and it’s laughable that there is a section of Kenyans who are not happy with Lupita’s achievements, well what I can tell you is you’re on your own coz the rest of the world celebrates and adore. Her billboards are all over the streets of America and Britain, have even noticed some complaining that Eric Gathegi should be getting more praise than Lupita coz he been Hollywood longer not sure that’s how it works but the funny thing is Eric does not even consider himself Kenyan.

Vic K Favour: Lupita is boastful now! Full of pride!!! I saw it too,, she wasn’t in moods!!! #Larrymadowo y don’t u interview people like #nikita who acted on #The_Blacklist?? He is a humble Kenyan!
