Lupita Nyong’o, a member of Black Panther cast, has finally paid tribute to late co-star, Chadwick Boseman, who died on August 28, 2020, after a four-year battle with colon cancer.
She posted a picture of herself and Boseman on her Instagram page and penned an emotional tribute to him.
She says she has been struggling to think about him in the past tense, while explaining how terrible she felt when she received news of his passing.
She describes the effect of the news of his demise as a punch to her gut every morning.
Lupita also describes him as someone who made the most of his time and somehow managed to take his time.
She says he had a profound influence on her especially when working together on the set of Black Panther movie.

Part of the tribute reads, “He was impeccable with his word. I never heard him complain – and there were definitely some things worth complaining about! I think he understood the power of words and chose to manifest power through his word. He used his mouth to build, to edify, never to break. And he used it to tell regrettably lame dad jokes. He practised not going against himself. He seemed to really love himself; he expressed who he really was, even when it meant he didnt smile when you thought he should. He accepted himself. And perhaps that’s why he was capable of loving so many, so deeply.”
Chadwick played the star role of T’Challa in the Black Panther movie.
