While the industry continues to reel from reports of Chadwick Boseman‘s death, his fans and supporters are paying royal tribute to the fallen ‘King of Wakanda’ in a big way.
As we reported here, Disney took to press over the weekend to announce ABC would air his magnum opus – Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ – in a commercial free format Sunday night (August 30). Following the presentation, an ABC News special honoring the life and legacy of the star aired.
Together, the specials dominated the day’s programming among fellow broadcast networks.

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.

As millions across the globe try to process the shocking death of Chadwick Boseman, so too is Ryan Coogler – director of ‘Black Panther.’
In an emotional open letter, the critically acclaimed filmmaker pays tribute to Boseman – who lost his four-year battle with colon cancer on Friday (August 28).
The star’s diagnosis was not known to the public and, as Coogler reveals, his collaborators were none-the-wiser too.
Echoing sentiments shared by Spike Lee (who directed Boseman in recent film ‘Da 5 Bloods’), Coogler shared that not only did he not know the specifics of the icon’s illness, he had actually been deep in the writing process for ‘Black Panther 2.’ A film in which 43-year-old Boseman was set to reprise the title role (T’Challa).

Masika Kalysha has one less gig to her name.
The ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ star came under fire when she took to social media faking a kidnap plot to promote her OnlyFans account. Yes, OnlyFans.
Sporting painted-on bruises, she informed distressed viewers she was in danger and had been “beat really bad.” She added that “they are coming back.”
As it turns out, it was nothing but a cheap (and tacky) ploy to drive attention in the direction of her pay-per-view page.
According to Kalysha, the approach wasn’t rooted in selfishness. Quite the contrary.
For, she claims it was themed after ‘Double Crossed’ – the TV show she’s currently filming about human trafficking.
Understandably, producers for the series didn’t see the humor in her behavior and have pulled her from the show.
Now, she’s issued an apology.
Her words (and the original video) below:
