Naomi Campbell says Chadwick Boseman was a 'humble being'

Naomi Campbell says Chadwick Boseman was a "selfless" and "humble being".

The 'Black Panther' star tragically passed away last week at the age of 43 after secretly battling colon cancer for four years, and Naomi has now paid tribute to the acting icon, remembering him as "graceful, dignified, and so respectful".

Speaking during Tuesday's (01.09.20) episode of her 'No Filter with Naomi' YouTube series, she said: "I didn't feel correct commencing with our show in the normal manner before saying a few words about the loss, the sad sad loss of Chadwick Boseman.

"It would be unethical for me to go forward and just not make a mention of it. So I'd like to say in the short time that I got to know Chadwick Boseman he was humble being, selfless, graceful, dignified, and so respectful and I know the whole world is grieving and I know the whole world is in shock. And I know our culture is grieving.

"So before we commence I'd like to say Chadwick Boseman, may you rest with the highest. You will be forever in our memories. You left a huge legacy at your young age and I'm truly blessed for the time that I got to know you. A true gentleman you were. Rest in Peace."
