Here's the shocking reason Lionel Richie is assumed to have passed-on

Lionel Richie is a multi-talented American singer, but trends in South Africa. The international star is rumored and assumed to have passed on after a painting of Chadwick Boseman, (the late Black Panther actor) went viral. The South African celebrity painter, Rasta honoured the late star who was announced dead last-week Friday night, by painting him. However, he lands in trouble with his painting. What is more shocking is that people are in fear after seeing the painting, thinking it's Lionel.
