The news was confirmed in a post on the star's social media pages on Saturday morning.

In 2018, he gave a passionate speech at Howard University in Washington, DC, encouraging graduates to never give up on their dreams, no matter the barriers they faced.

“Rather find purpose than a job or a career,” he said. “Purpose crosses disciplines; it is an essential element of you. It is the reason you are on this planet at this particular time in history. Your very existence is wrapped up in the things you are here to fulfil. “When I dare to challenge the system that would relegate us to victims and stereotypes, with no clear historical background, no hopes or talent ... when I questioned that method of portrayal, a different path opened up for me. The path to my destiny. When God has something for you, it doesn't matter who stands against it.”Media personality Maps Maponyane said: “

The fact that Chadwick Boseman battled colon cancer for four years while putting out so many great movies is remarkable ... makes you think that he just might have been a superhero in real life too. What a man.”Can't believe Chadwick Boseman passed away💔😔. Our T'challa bro. A whole "Black Panther". A Howard university graduate. Damn the year 2020 has not been nice.
