Angela Bassett’s son has issued an apology after receiving backlash for pretending her Black Panther co-star Michael B Jordan had died.
Of course, the famous person is still alive and the trend is entirely a prank, but it has sparked a moral debate about tricking their friends and family with such news.
Angela, 64, was immediately shocked and touched her chest while exclaiming repeatedly: ‘Unh-uh,’ while his dad Courtney, 62, stopped in his tracks. Angela Bassett was visibly shocked and clutched her chest after being told the fake news that Michael B Jordan had died Many have slammed the prank as insensitive, particularly as Angela suffered the death of her friend and co-star Chadwick Boseman, who had played her on-screen son in 2018’s Black Panther. Boseman died following a private battle with colon cancer in August 2020, and it emerged that hardly any of his colleagues knew about his illness, sparking greater shock.
He continued: ‘I don’t wish any bad ramifications of my actions upon his family nor my parents as they deserve none of the backlash. I own this was a mistake and I hope this can be a teaching lesson to anyone else who uses social media as a tool and a source of entertainment to truly understand that your actions can have consequences that extend beyond you.
