Top American Basketball player Gilbert Jay Arenas has attacked Hollywood  actress Lupita Nyong’o due to her dark skin.

The basketball player took to his Instagram to rant about Dark skinned black women pointing out Lupita Nyong’o who was enjoying praises from her fans due to her beautiful dark skin.

After @BallerAlert posted a gorgeous photo of Lupita vacationing in Mexico and slaying in a white bikini, one commenter summoned Arenas, tagging him and writing, "Hey look it's the black girl you said that looks better in the dark."

"Everybody saying her skin looks beautiful," Arenas wrote, inserting the "OK" emoji before adding, "How about her face tho??" Wrote Arenas

Arenas then threw in a few crying laughing emojis and the words "lights off."

This did not settle well on the ears of Lupita’s fans who decided to school Arenas for hating on black women while he is also black.

Early on Lupta had clapped back at all hater s of Black Women saying “She is looking at me as part of the cultural tapestry. I am living and breathing. That person is not considering what I had for breakfast, how that is sitting in my stomach, and why I didn’t do well with that audition. I can’t think like that."

This is not the first time the Former Basketball player is hating on Lupita as earlier this year he had posted on his Instagram account claiming the Oscar-winning actress is only cute when lights are off.
