Black Panther’s Angela Bassett paid tribute to ‘beautiful spirit’ Chadwick Boseman following his tragic death. The Da 5 Bloods star has died aged 43 following his four-year battle with colon cancer.

Angela and Chadwick were co-stars in Black Panther, with Bassett playing T’Challa’s mother Queen Ramonda. And the actress has remembered her on-screen son, while reminiscing about the first time they met in Howard University.

It was meant to be for Chadwick and me to be connected, for us to be family,’ she shared on Instagram along with a photo of the two embracing. ‘But what many don’t know is our story began long before his historic turn as Black Panther. ‘

During the premiere party for Black Panther, Chadwick reminded me of something. He whispered that when I received my honorary degree from Howard University, his alma mater, he was the student assigned to escort me that day.’

She continued: ‘And here we were, years later as friends and colleagues, enjoying the most glorious night ever! We’d spent weeks prepping, working, sitting next to each other every morning in makeup chairs, preparing for the day together as mother and son. I am honored that we enjoyed that full-circle experience.
