‘I AM SO GLAD OUR PATHS CROSSED’ LUPITA NYONG’O ON MEETING HER BOYFRIEND’S FATHER

Actress Lupita Nyong’o, on Monday, January 23 remembered her boyfriend’s late father Hugh Masekela.

Nyong’o posted a throwback photo she took with Masekela and accompanied it with a moving tribute, “Remembering this great man today, #HughMasekela. I am so glad our paths crossed and that I got to experience his magic in real life. His music lives on in us. And his light shines on in his son @selema. (And I am so grateful to bathe in it.)”

His son Selema remembered him for his contribution to the world, “Somehow today makes five years since you’ve left the building. Your music is playing loudly today across the world. Your infinite contributions to the planet reverberate still. You are celebrated. Your love is felt more than ever. You are still here, always will be. I miss you so damn much.”

The legendary South African trumpeter died in January 2018, aged 78, after a battle with prostate cancer.
