Lupita Nyong'o might have an Oscar, a Tony award and bachelors degree under her, belt but it looks like she can now add rapper to her impressive CV. 

Yesterday, the 33-year-old Star Wars: The Force Awakens actress showed off her lyrical finesse to celebrate reaching 3 million followers on her Instagram account.

In a video posted to the app, Nyongo' captioned the clip: 'Introducing my alter ego TROUBLEMAKER. Lyrics: @robynhoodfanz Director: @katiecm @queenofkatwemovie #3million'.

The opening line of the freestyle rap starts: 'Mexican born, Kenya running through my veins, Dark chocolate, plus I keep a sharp mane, Lancôme fresh-faced, looking tailor-made, Disney on the books, so you know I stay paid.'

Dressed in head-to-toe monochrome, sunglasses and gold hoop earrings, the star's rap includes a nod to to her Queen of Katwe co-star David Oyelowo ('Next stop Katwe, rocking out with David, Don't do critics, if you're hating, please save it') and her other high-profile responsibilities such as a Global Elephant Ambassador for WildAid ('trying to save the planet').

And who knew Lupita was such a linguist?

'Speak four languages, doing deals in Spanish,' she raps.

If only all A-list celebrities rapped to celebrate more social media followers…
