One of the new trends on TikTok: children are recording their parents when they tell them the false news that their favorite celebrity has died. The fun would be to see adult fans overreact to the deaths of people they don’t know, but the problem is when they do know them: Actress Angela Bassett’s Teenage Son Slater Vance Exaggerated Telling His Mom Michael B. Jordan Was Dead.
In the now-deleted video, Vance announced that the actor had died at the age of 35. Bassett and Jordan worked together on “Black Panther,” where he met Chadwick Boseman, who died soon after from cancer that he kept secret. Bassett reacted by placing a hand on his chest and quickly walking towards the camera. Before the video ended, the father, also an actor Courtney B. Vance, told his son: “Stop it. You’re kidding.”.

“I would like to apologize for taking part in such a harmful way”Vance said in the video he uploaded shortly after. “I take responsibility for my mistake”he’s panting, seems to be holding back tears. Apologies to Michael B. Jordan’s family, who he considers “one of his idols”.
A life lesson
The 16-year-old asks in the video that people don’t reach out to his family about his mistake and reflects on what he did. “I hope this serves as a lesson to all those who use social networks as a tool and source of entertainmentso that they truly understand that your actions can have consequences beyond you”.
