Chadwick Boseman asked for dying prayer

Chadwick Boseman was ready to die.

The 'Black Panther' actor died in August following a four-year battle with colon cancer and his brother, Pastor Derrick Boseman, revealed their final conversation the night before his younger sibling passed caused him to change his prayers for his sick relative.

In the conversation, Chadwick told his brother: “Man, I’m in the fourth quarter, and I need you to get me out of the game.”

Derrick asked his brother what he meant, then realised he was tired and ready to go.

He added in an interview with the New York Times newspaper: "When he told me that, I changed my prayer from, ‘God heal him, God save him,’ to ‘God, let your will be done.' And the next day he passed away.”

Throughout Chadwick's illness, he had had prayer calls with his family and always said "Hallelujah", no matter how he was feeling.

Derrick said: "He never stopped saying it."
