In a statement, Lupita disclosed that their relationship was entangled in deception, prompting her desire to retreat into shadows and reemerge when she regains strength.
Despite the temptation to hide, she recognizes the correlation between the intensity of pain and her capacity for love.
Lupita candidly shared her experience, hoping it might resonate with others facing heartbreak.
Deleting all posts about Masekela from her social media, she emphasized the importance of confronting pain rather than spreading it.
Lupita and Masekela went public with their relationship in 2021.
Additionally, Lupita addressed her friendship with American singer Janelle Monáe, formed at the Met Gala in 2014 when Nyong’o was still a newcomer in the entertainment industry, having recently won an Oscar for her role in ’12 Years a Slave.’
