evidence: Was the Obamas' personal chef writing a tell-all book before his "mysterious death"? No, that's not true: There is no proof shown in a video making the claim that Tafari Campbell was writing a book about the former president and first lady at the time of his death near their Martha's Vineyard home. The video purports to be from "Inside Edition" but most of the footage from the show was not included in the video posted on social media. [...] Disturbing details are coming out about the suspicious death of Barack Obama's personal chef Tafari Campbell and reports recently appeared that Tafari was writing a tell-all book before he drowned last month. No proof or evidence is given in the 7:46-minute video to support the claim that Campbell was writing a "tell-all book" before his tragic drowning on July 23, 2023. His death was ruled "accidental drowning," as CBS News reported.
