As the world continues to reel from the death of celebrated actor and activist Chadwick Boseman, many of his fans and admirers – celebrities included (as we reported here) – have taken to social media to offer their condolences and share their fondest memories with the ‘Black Panther’ star.
While most of the posts range from heartwarming to heart-tugging, one lifted by ‘Power’ actor Omari Hardwick has been getting a hearty thumbs down from fans of Boseman for its ‘narcissistic’ content.
Taking to Instagram over the weekend, Hardwick posted a eulogy that featured a bit more self-praise than reverence for for the fallen star. When called out on it by a follower, Omari’s response landed him in even more hot water.

When another commenter weighed in, Hardwick hit back.
