Lupita Nyong’o’s Elder Sister Openly Complains About The Difficulties of Being Lupita’s Sister

There are perks to having a famous sibling and Lupita’s younger brother has milked them and has even gotten to meet Beyonce, Ellen De Generes, Jennifer Lawrence and other Hollywood A-Listers.

But there is also the flipside.

Lynda Lopez, Doug Pitt, Solange Knowles and Daniel Depp are just some of the few people who have had their share of the flipside as they live in the shadow of their famous siblings.

They are often spoken about in reference to their  famous sibling and back at home Lupita’s elder sister is exasperated over  living in the shadow of not only her dad Anyang’ Nyong’o, her high-achieving mum but her Oscar-worthy sister Lupita Nyong’o.

Zawadi took to Twitter yesterday to complain about someone asking her if she was Lupita’s mum…eeek!

She was attending a music show  by Malian singer and bass player Moussa Diallo at the Tribe hotel with her famous father Anyang’ when a woman walked up to her asking if she was Lupita’s mum

 “I asked her if I looked that old to her. She said, no no it’s because you look alike. So that makes me her mother? NKT I need a T-shirt ASAP” tweeted Zawadi

Before going on to add:

As in not a single day goes by, no matter where I am (hospital, market, restaurant, street, gym, you name it) without being asked…Not 1”

And it seems she has been feeling this way for a while now, as demonstrated by this 2014 tweet:
