Lupita Nyong'o's Performance in JAY-Z's New Music Video Will Leave You in Tears

By Terry Carter

JAY-Z just released the music video for his song "MaNyfaCedGod" off his 4:44 album, and it's emotional. In the black and white clip, Academy Award-winner Lupita Nyong'o delivers a powerful performance as a heartbroken woman who is scorned by her lover, and yes, it will leave you in tears. The somber video is a stark contrast to the colorful and playful "Moonlight" music video the 47-year-old rapper released earlier this month. Watch a clip from the Tidal exclusive above, then head over to the streaming service to watch it in full.
