Simone Ledward Boseman, the late Black Panther actor’s wife, has finally shared the reason for keeping Chadwick’s four-year battle with colon cancer under the radar. She revealed this in a conversation with Whoopi Goldberg for Good Morning America, which was her first official interview since her husband’s passing in August 2020.
She said it was during the Covid outbreak so they saw no need to announce to the world since everyone was at home keeping safe
Since Chadwick passed away, Simone has accepted several posthumous awards on his behalf. They include a Golden Globe for his work as Leeve Green in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, an Emmy award for his voice in What if?, and a Critic’s Choice award for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
