Everybody loves Black PantherOpens in a new tab. The MarvelOpens in a new tab movie has been breaking records left, right, and center, with critics and fans alike showering praise on the groundbreaking film. One of the movie’s breakout stars is undoubtedly Letitia Wright, whose portrayal of T’Challa’s super smart sister ShuriOpens in a new tab was one of the highlights of an already amazing film. Wright didn’t just kill it on the screen but off it too, as Lupita Nyong’oOpens in a new tab has been sharing on her TwitterOpens in a new tab account. She shared a video of Wright MC’ing on the set of Black Panther while in costume, gaining her the moniker “Baby Underbite.”

We’re so grateful to Nyong’o for sharing this unabashed joy with us, especially as everyone’s favorite vegetarian: M’Baku, a.k.a. Winston Duke, was providing Baby Underbite with her beats. And it keeps getting better: the wonderful Angela Bassett and Danai Gurira acted as her hype-women! This behind the scenes Black Panther jam is honestly one of the best things we’ve seen all year, and we cannot wait for Nyong’o to (hopefully) leak MC Baby Underbite’s mixtape.
