Angela Bassett’s son is apologizing after posting one of those TikTok pranks about Michael B. Jordan dying. Slater Vance shared his apology on Instagram after getting some very real backlash for his choices in that moment. Of course, he respects the Creed star immensely and just wanted to get in on a viral trend. But, with everything that’s happened around the Black Panther franchise in the last few years, maybe that wasn’t the best selection. After all, his mother must have been very affected by the loss of Chadwick Boseman after his secret cancer diagnosis. The original video, which has been deleted off Instagram, didn’t show Bassett’s reaction. However, fans all agree that maybe this joke was in a bit of poor taste. The 27-year-old was quick to apologize once he realized his mistake and you can see his full comments right here.
