Kisumu senator Professor Anyang’ Nyong’o and the family is angered with fake news claiming that their Hollywood actress daughter Lupita Nyong’o is HIV-positive.
This comes after a United States online publication, houstonchronicle-tv.com, carried a story claiming that the 12 Years a Slave actress was living with the virus.
Speaking to the Standard, Prof Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o brushed off the news saying that it was all nonsense and false.
“It is all nonsense!” Lupita’s father said.
The initial article was a true story of South African Isindigo TV series actress, Lesegfo Motsepe who disclosed her HIV-positive status in 2011.
The article, which was written by Monica Laganparsad talks of Motsepe, who played Letti Matabane on SABC3’s Isidingo from 1998 to 2008, had kept her status hidden for 13 years.
It is alleged that the names were changed in the article to recite Lupita Nyong’o.
These claims are suspected to have emanated from Lupita’s role in the TV series, Shuga, where she acts as Ayira, who manipulates two men and later discovers she might have contracted the viral disease.
The show has numerous steamy sex scenes that helps raise HIV/AIDS awareness.

It is all nonsense.
It shows how the world is so ignorant of the so called his stuff.
Wishing you all the best Lupita, leave the loser idiots alone.
May your career flourish.
So if what they allege is true, what is anybody's business in this.
People are just Evil.
They are trying to ruin her very promising career.
There are worse and glorious diseases like cancer.
Leave Lupita alone.
She is a wonderful gifted and talented actress while the perpetrators are nothing but loosers/idiots.
Living with HIV virus is not the end of the end of the world. It's just a condition. Presumably she was, it doesn't change her of who she is as a person. At this era people are still so uneducated of HIV? It's not even the top 10 causes of death in the world.
How can these adulterers be entrusted with Kirinyagans judging from their loose way of life?I could have supported them if they were candidates for MAJENGO and KOINANGE St counties respectively.But it is better for wanjinga of Kirinyaga to be led by prostitutes than other idiots all over Kenya who elect thieves and murderers to lead them like sheep(MAKONDOO).
Professor, Stop protecting your daughter. HIV, Aids, Diabetis, Drugs, weed, Crack, Cocain, is the same. I know lupita and wish she is in good health. Waiting for her Black Panther n anbition to be next prez.....USA or Kenya

What a terrible things to allege!!!
Could such a rumor have come from the fact that she acted in an aids awareness TV series a long time ago?
