Cops Arrest 'Potential Suspects' for Battery ... Brothers Are Former 'Empire' Extras
TMZ ^ | 2/15/2019 | Staff

Posted on 02/15/2019 2:40:52 PM PST by yesthatjallen

Police have now arrested 2 men in the Jussie Smollett investigation -- 2 men with ties to "Empire" -- and TMZ has learned they were booked for battery. As we reported ... cops picked up Ola and Abel, their nicknames, on Wednesday night at O'Hare Airport.

A Chicago law enforcement source tells us the next step may be a lineup in which Jussie will be asked to identify the culprits. This raises a potential problem because, as we first reported, Jussie initially said his attackers were white and yelled "MAGA country."

The Osundairos, from Nigeria, just don't fit that profile.

As you know, Jussie has stated the men in the dark, grainy image released last month are definitely his attackers. Police are not confirming the Osundairo brothers are the men in that photo.

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.

Are the Chicago keeping this ruse up as a way to sting this Jussie fool into implicating himself? Or is this pure theater because it’s a RAT-infested city and they don’t dare arrest a black gay minor celebrity?

Here’s how the lineup will go.

Cop: Okay Mr. Smollett, just take your time

Smollett: I really can’t tell, it was dark and they all look alike...
