Angela BassettHis son pulled a mean prank on his mother to cap off the year – he told her so Michael B He just died (not true)…but he realized it wasn’t a good idea.
The 16-year-old actress, Slaterhe posted a since-deleted video to his TikTok account this weekend… a quick 20-second clip that shows him breaking some potentially tragic news for AB — namely, that another one of their “Black Panther” co-stars has passed away.
He’s clearly trying to get a crazy reaction out of Angela, and boy does he get it… She sees his mom get upset and say “no” over and over as she approaches to see what he’s seeing.
Slater apparently said he was joking in the clip, and we can’t see Angela’s reaction once she realizes the death story is fake. But, we imagine it wasn’t cool… because, like we said, Slater deleted the video – but he’s getting dragged regardless.
His video was picked up by people and spreading like wildfire on social media… and the consensus seems to be – Dude, how could you do that to your mom?!? Even as a joke.
Of course, Angela had already suffered a huge loss on this front the traffic From Chadwick Boseman. As everyone knows, Chadwick and Michael both starred in the original Black Panther… and the latter made a cameo in the latest sequel. So, they’re all screwed.
Neither Angela nor Slater have touched on the bad joke since it came out. But, given the backlash, these fake death announcements are best left for 2022.
Lord knows we’ve already had our fair share of Real deaths that yesp., especially in this the past few days. Consider all things “BP” family passedSomething like that would be too much.
We have already learned a valuable lesson.
