Claims made by Chicago Police that Empire actor, Jussie Smollett paid two Nigerian brothers, Ola and Abel Osundairo $3,500 to stage an attack on him may not be true after all.
In the ongoing investigation into the hoax racist attack on Jussie Smollett, it has been revealed that the payment the actor made to the Osundairo brothers was for a fitness training.
TMZ reports that Smollett and the brothers made a deal where they would train him for five weeks so he could get in shape for an upcoming video, the payment for which he wrote a $3,500 check days before the attack.
According to TMZ, the memo line on the check read, “5 weeks training nutrition plan.”
