In a shocking twist , it has been alleged that Empire star, Jussie Smollet paid the two Nigerian brothers to stage his attack .
TMZ reports that ,sources say the brothers,Abel” and Olabinjo “Ola” both of whom worked on the “Empire” set “completely cooperated” with Chicago cops during their interrogation over the last few days.
One law enforcement source tells TMZ at least one of the brothers turned over his phone and there is a call between him and Jussie in the vicinity of the “attack,” but before it happened.
CNN also reports the brothers purchased what looks like the rope Jussie had around his neck at a Chicago Ace Hardware store.
CNN is also citing law enforcement sources saying Jussie paid the brothers to orchestrate the phony assault.
Various sources in the Chicago PD have told TMZ almost from the beginning there was wide sentiment Jussie’s version of events were false, despite the party line that he was the victim of a crime.
Chicago PD released Abel and Ola late Friday night due to “new evidence” gathered from their interrogation … and said they’re no longer suspects.
The brothers’ lawyer, Gloria Schmidt, says her clients were released based on the key info they gave the cops … and they have a story to tell “when the time is right.”
