Rapper honors Obama
Chance the Rapper is modeling a clothing line based on a fellow famous Chicagoan, former President Barack Obama.
Chance tweeted out photos of himself Thursday wearing Obama-themed clothing made by Joe Fresh Goods’ “Thank You Obama” line. Some of the items include a T-shirt imprinted with name of Obama’s daughter, Malia, and a basketball jersey with the number 44, in honor of the 44th president.
Chance has been a strong supporter of Obama. He has attended parties at the White House and appeared with Obama at last year’s National Christmas Tree lighting. He also appeared on the campaign trail last year to urge voters to back Hillary Clinton for president.
Actor discusses wife’s death
Comedian and actor Patton Oswalt says coroner’s officials have told him that his wife died last year from a combination of prescription medications and an undiagnosed heart condition.
Oswalt writes in a statement to the Associated Press that he and his wife Michelle McNamara did not know she had a condition that caused blockages in her arteries.
His statement released by a publicist says coroner’s officials told him that the blockages, combined with her taking the medications Adderall, Xanax and the pain medication fentanyl, caused his wife’s death in April 2016.
A coroner’s official said Friday the cause of death was still listed as pending.
McNamara died April 21 in her sleep at age 46.
