I didn’t sleep with Jussie Smollett, he was trying to groom me, & asked me to beat him up- Osundairo
Empire was one of the biggest TV series even here in Nigeria - so big that even Jussie Smollett’s gay character was loved here.
And at the height of his fame, a scandal hit: he was alleged to have been attacked by two white supremacist Trump supporters. They turned out to be Nigerian brothers.
The backlash was swift. Smollett was kicked off Empire. The police arrested him and the brothers. He has been sued to court and convicted.
Weeks after his conviction was upheld by an Illinois court, I sat down for an exclusive interview with one of the two Nigerian brothers, AbimBola Osundairo - to talk about how international scandal that completely changed his life, what it taught him about America, how his family responded to this, and why he feels he let down his morals and values.

Hi Chude, I've been following your work closely and I must say, I'm genuinely inspired by the content you create. Your dedication to your craft is both evident and admirable. On a related note, I came across Shay Shay Club's approach recently, and it sparked an interesting thought. Their business model, which emphasizes releasing full interviews for free on platforms like KZread, seems to be fostering significant growth and impact. This approach not only widens their audience reach but also enhances engagement and accessibility. While I understand and respect the uniqueness of each business strategy, I thought it might be worthwhile for you to explore this model. It could potentially complement your existing efforts by broadening your audience base and maximizing the impact of your valuable content. Of course, this is just a suggestion from a place of admiration and support for your work. I'm looking forward to seeing your continued success and the innovative paths you choose to explore. Best wishes.

I believe him when he says he didn't hate Trump, but he was an accessory to what was seen as a serious hate crime that caused great turmoil against Trump and his supporters. He talks as if he acted in good faith in some fun prank to help his acting, but in fact, it was a really nasty way to behave. I put it down to stupidity and not malice, but it can not be brushed aside. I totally believe him, though, and it's high time Jussie serves the rest of his sentence.

He knows it and Juicy knew it and this is where everything started to go wrong.

Sex, Drugs, Money and Power are at the heart of this story. Things went wrong because none of them were honest with each other! It was all a game that got out of control.
