Lupita Nyong’o’s brother isn’t here for anyone’s sh*t, will wear a dress if he damn well pleases

Take note: Don’t come for Lupita Nyong’o’s kid brother, Peter “Junior” Nyong’o, unless he calls for you.

The 24-year-old aspiring actor and musician recently came under attack for his choice of attire at a music festival.

It all started last week when he shared this photo of himself wearing a dress with his nearly 30,000 Instagram followers:

We think he looks pretty damn fresh.

But not everyone seemed to agree:

The blog All Africa ran a post criticizing Nyong’o’s look, along with the headline “Lupita’s Brother Thinks He Looks Good in Dresses.”

Nyong’o responded to the headline with a tweet that said: “Lol. I don’t ‘think’… I know.”

He followed that up with another tweet saying, “Thank u, next…”, a reference to Ariana Grande’s new single:

And another tweet with a meme claiming “gendered clothing is a myth”:

Meanwhile, 99% of Twitter came to his defense:
