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).
