The reason for the split is unknown, however its believed that Lupita initiated the break-up.
At the time, Hello Magazine reported, "The cat’s out of the bag for Lupita Nyong’o and Canadian rapper K’Naan, who have been ‘secretly dating’ for more than six months, according to new reports."
Although Lupita keeps her private life out of the media, for the most part, her budding romance with the rapper made the airwaves after the two were spotted getting cozy together.

She's Been Rumored To Have Dated Some Hollywood A-Listers
Lupita is an attractive woman whose love life fans can't seem to stay out off. The MCU star has been linked to several Hollywood stars over the years. From her 12 Years a Slave co-star Chiwetel Ejiofor to Jared Leto and her Black Panther co-star Michael B Jordan. Both Nyong'o and Jordan shot down the dating rumors to the disappointment of some fans.
Lupita and Jared became close during the 2014 award season when they were both nominated for the Supporting actor award for their respective roles in 12 Years a Slave and Dallas Buyers Club. The duo's chemistry was undeniable and Jared even joked about Lupita being his "future ex-wife"—a declaration which only fuelled the dating rumors further.
