"There have been barely any comments supporting Selema Masekela."
To know Sal Masekela, who transitioned to Selema when it became personally beneficial, is to know him, as the saying goes. It was, then, with much shock that the millions upon millions who have never made his acquaintance received word of his breakup from Lupita Nyong’o.
The Academy Award-winning actress took to Instagram, yesterday, to both story and hard-post the demise of the relationship that had been robustly celebrated less than one year ago.
“At this moment, it is necessary for me to share a personal truth and publicly dissociate myself from someone I can no longer trust,” wrote Nyong’o, who won an Oscar for her performance in 12 Years a Slave. “I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception… I am reminded that the magnitude of the pain I am feeling is equal to the measure of my capacity for love. And so, I am choosing to face the pain, cultivating the courage to meet my life exactly as it is, and trusting that this too shall pass.”
Extinguished by deception.
While fans rallied to Nyongo’s side, one writing “How do you fumble her???” Masekela barrel dodged by turning off the comments to his Instagram page.
All of them.
Thousands upon thousands of encouraging words praising the part-time surf commentator’s various self portraits.
“Masekela has not said anything and has turned off his Instagram comments,” the BBC reported, later adding, “There have been barely any comments supporting Masekela.”
Nyong’o’s channel is a different story with throngs of defenders. Amongst them are Marlon Wayans, of the famed Wayans brothers, who suggested, “Be kind to you as you heal. I always say whenever I have a break up ‘lucky me, I get to love ME again. I missed you me.’ Go love on you woman.”
But who is there to love Selema, besides Selema, that is, who has already been enjoying a years’ long affair with self? It must have been extremely difficult to turn off the shower of accolades he so clearly enjoyed.
Hopefully back on soon.
Fingers crossed.

Mr Sal is a hound dawg by sounds of things,…shame shame sal
I do not appreciate the cock block undertones of this article. Sal’s needs we’re not being met!
She was a goddamn goofy footer!
stay tuned for a Lumbar 5-1 vertical cracking…
She is kind of plump to be making rash decisions
gold bonds
Sal Masakitzgibbons
Sounds like he might have texted Jonah Hill on this one
judging by the swimwear photo, she too is a cheetah..
I got my first skateboard in 1971.
It had pinky/brown ‘clay’ wheels, one of which I still have somewhere.
So I’ve seen a bit of a change in equipment.

But NEVER have I ever seen someone with such high truck risers (apart from my Jewish mate down the road in 1982 cos he could afford double of everything…)
“you can put yer weed in it!”

When your caboose is that overloaded, one must take every precaution against wheel-bite.
The bigger question is whether referring to him as Sal constitutes dead naming?
Firstly really love above “his and her” matching swimwear
Has he been mentored by ELO?
No way Chuck I am not clicking on that BBC hot-link, British Broadcasting Company uh huh riiiight.
Looks like his ex has shut down any option for painting it as “conscious decoupling” (even if he’s a deadbeat).
Best route from here is find some hottie half her age and turn up at the WSL watermans ball with her wearing some skimpy no-bra number.
Side-boob is the shizzle
BetKings current has the line set at 13 for “Number of Selema stories no one cares about on Beachgrit”. Any takers on the under?
Didn’t think so.
“But who is there love Selema, besides Selema,…”
Is that supposed to make sense?
I am willing to support Sal in this moment but before I do I need to know if he thinks a full rotation air is a 360 or a 540.
This is like talking about someone in a wheelchair, that likes to run. Can we please just let fatfuck sal go be fatfuck sal, and QUIT trying to “adjacent” him to surfing. Him, and his eyesore friend. Go back to your landlubber life, surfing is just fine without your drama.
I guess the Hollywood offer way too much for a surfer to cope and poor SM fell into temptation.
Maybe she cray cray, plenty dem is
