Stephen “tWitch” Boss, a former co-star, is remembered by Jada Pinkett Smith as “kind and sweet.”
According to his wife Allison Holker Boss, the former DJ for the Ellen DeGeneres Show committed suicide at age 40.
Pinkett Smith, 51, who collaborated with the dancer on the 2015 movie Magic Mike XXL, was one of the famous people paying respect to him.
She posted a cheerful photo of herself with Stephen and co-star Donald Glover to Instagram along with the caption, “I woke up this morning to the news that tWitch is gone. “For his wife Allison and their kids Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia, my heart breaks. I’d want to send my sympathies to all of his loved ones.”
“On the Magic Mike set, we had a great time. He was incredibly polite, compassionate, and giving “Pinkett Smith kept talking. “So many people endure silent suffering. I wish he had realized he didn’t have to. May the Great Supreme hold his radiant, beautiful soul in His arms, and may the same Higher Power mend the broken hearts of his loved ones.”

Prior to finishing in second place on Star Search, Stephen gained notoriety as a contestant on MTV’s The Wade Robson Project. In 2008, he later participated in So You Think You Can Dance, finishing the season as runner-up and then making a comeback as an All-Star. When the program came again in 2022, he served as a judge. He additionally had appearances on Step Up All In and Modern Family.
Boss debuted as a guest DJ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2014. He eventually established himself as a regular character on the show, and in 2020, he was promoted to co-executive producer.
Allison, Stephen’s 34-year-old wife, claimed in a statement “any space he entered with light. Above all else, he treasured his family, friends, and community. He believed that the best way to lead was to lead with love and light. He served as the foundation of our family, was the best husband and father, and served as an example to his followers.”
It would be an understatement to say that he left a legacy, and his beneficial influence will still be felt, she added. “There won’t be a day that goes by that we don’t remember him, I’m positive of that. During this trying moment for myself and especially for our three kids, we kindly request your privacy.”
“Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you,” Allison concluded by addressing her husband.
