...The men are brothers from Nigeria named Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo, and Chicago cops are now calling them "potential suspects"... Ola played a prison inmate on season 2 of "Empire." It's unclear exactly how well they know Jussie, but we know Jussie follows their joint Instagram account. Abel also says he's worked on "Empire."
Both brothers describe themselves online as actors and models.

This is like a Dumb and Dumber episode.

These Nigerian guys don't seem like MAGA folk.

These Nigerian guys don't seem like MAGA folk.

They could be, but it might be suspicious if they are shouting MAGA in a Nigerian accent. At least it would be hard to misidentify them as white guys.

Apparently the police were led to them by phone records. So the “victim” had been on the phone with them.

They are clearly white people in black face...and body paint...and a really, really good Afro hair piece.....and....

Seriously, Jussie Smollett was a washed up child actor (only was in 1 of the 3 Mighty Ducks installments) that would have been an "almost been" if not for Empire. And now Empire's ratings are down and he was in danger of being written off the show. It was a publicity stunt. A gay male Twana Brawley. I almost feel sorry for the kid.

I saw a thing earlier that said those 2 had been arrested now, apprehended at the Ohare airport.

Yes, heard they were under arrest. Interesting situation. “Were you for some reason intimidating this person, or were you involved in a fraudulent publicity stunt?”

You make a good case, but if there was a MAGA hat involved, we can overlook the other inconsistencies.

Smollett said he didn't remove the rope from around his neck before police arrived "because I wanted them to see."

But he also says, numerous times, that he wasn't going to call the police until his friend/Creative Director talked him into it.

Which one?

He also said he didn't want the police to have their body cameras on because "He didn't want to make a scene in the hallway."

1) How is that making a "scene?"

2) Why couldn't they just go into his apartment with their body cameras on then?

Turning into a real whodundidit or diditevenhappen...

2 arrested men are released without charges in alleged attack on 'Empire' star Jussie Smollett: Police

Two men arrested by Chicago police police earlier this week in the alleged racial attack on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett were released on Friday night.

Police clarified that the two men were placed under arrest Wednesday night after police met them at the airport.

But in a statement issued Friday night, Chicago Police Department officials said that "due to new evidence as a result of today's interrogations, the individuals questions by police in the Empire case have now been released without charg[es], and detectives have additional investigative work to complete."

The two are no longer being classified as suspects.

What is it with Nigerians and scams?

I knew this thread was going to go really south as soon as the media said Nigeria. So what scam are the Nigerians involved in this time around?

Hes referring to an email scam where someone claiming to be a Nigerian prince will give you a million dollars if you give him your social security number.

What does using email got to do with this story?

 

[Anti Federalist]

My guess:

Smollet wanted to be "the middle" in a queeer sandwich with these two.

They kicked his ass and told him to get lost.

The rest was a pure fabrication on Smollet's part.
