Jussie Smollett is adamant he IS a victim of a homophobic attack, and now some key evidence has surfaced in the form of past comments made by the Nigerian brothers’ that may prove they had a homophobic sentiment.
The public comments were made on Twitter from an account used by the brothers, and Jussie’s defense may include the statements to show Ola and Abel Osundairo allegedly have issues with homosexuality.
In 2013, the Nigerian man was scolding someone for being a fan of R&B artist, Frank Ocean. “Why you following Frank Ocean … you know that ni**a gay right,” Ola tweeted at the man. Another message stated, “YOU’RE GAY THATS WHO YOU ARE,” although it’s unclear who Usondairo was speaking about.
Possibly reinforcing his own sexuality, Osundairo once proclaimed, “I don’t follow any man. I follow woman.”
Sources point out that the brothers’ home country of Nigeria is known for not recognizing LGBTQ rights, or providing any legal protection from discrimination.
The behavior seemingly goes against the brothers initial public statements, where they claimed, “We are not racist. We are not homophobic and we are not anti-Trump. We were born and raised in Chicago and are American citizens.”
The brothers will also have trouble justifying the comments if brought up during the case, and would have a hard time explaining why the comments were made. TheBlast.com
Both of the Usondairo brothers have said the “Empire” star paid them $3,500 to help stage the attack, but Smollett is adamant the money paid was for a training session. The Blast obtained a copy of the alleged check, and it clearly says the payment is for a “workout program.”
Sources close to the case tell us the testimony from the brothers went “sideways” while speaking in front of the grand jury, so the proceedings were halted and a criminal charge was filed instead.
Okey doke

” Ola and Abel Osundairo allegedly have issues with homosexuality. “
not gonna fly unless Juicy cancels the check ...
Wake me up when this Jussie thing is over with. . . the story is taking up way too much oxygen in my opinion.
No kidding - all the good stuff has happened already. Let’s move on to the next fake news story
LOL - even Jussie Smollett’s NOT stupid enough to put 'fake hate crime' on the check..
Yeah, yeah and the two Nigerian “brothers” are also WHITE! LOL
Oh noooooo ... the Nigerians are racist, homophobic, Trump-supporting Oreos! /sarc
This guy is going to squirm his way out of this.
The only thing that will convict him is if they can definitively prove he sent the letter to himself.
Unless his DNA or finger prints are found under the glued words and letters or he licked the sealed envelope it's likely he can create enough doubt to walk.
ANOTHER hoax coming from Jessie.
“OMG, ‘whosss moor wite’ nigerieans or juoosie” I feel like I’m in a freakin TMZ episode.
Don’t fall for these defense planted articles. We know these brothers aren’t clean they were part of the hoax. but there is way more evidence than just what this defense planted article suggests. Smollett was calling these guys immediately before and after the hoax attack and the chief of police indicated there’s a lot more evidence than even what has been reported.
Of course Smollett is a scumbag and is trying to throw these guys under the bus to save his own ass. But there is plenty of evidence to bury him
Wouldn’t he have told them to sling some slurs around in case a witness happened by?
I never thought it would be a slam dunk, especially since the trial will be conducted before a Chicago jury, at least the false reporting trial.
If they indict him for the white powder thing, that'll be federal.
But he also said he was attacked by white males wearing MAGA hats. The Nigerian brothers do not look like white males, and not sure if they even own MAGA hats. Going to be a hard sell now that they did indeed hurl homophobic insults.
No one is dumb enough to fall for this.
So he’s going to try and throw the black guys he hired under the bus to save his own stupid greedy little ass?
Everybody ought to hate him now.
If he keeps digging he’ll be in China any minute now!
