I don’t know if this did or didn’t happen
I honestly don’t even care

nikkas get rolled on everyday ain’t nothig new. He ain’t die, the world will continue to be racist and if anything he’ll Learn to move better. If it’s real he’ll recover, if it’s fake he won’t.

But I love how y’all always on that “my black brother” shyt and y’all feenin’ for this this shyt to come back a lie. And it’s not even an attack against black men on some “straight black men hurt gay black man” this is a story about 2 white men potentially rolling on a black man. And its hard to tell who’s side y’all on. Y’all sound like white people when crackas do some foul shyt on some wait for the facts type shyt. Or “sounds fishy”.

And it ain’t for no other reason that he’s gay. And y’all deep down are homophobic as fukk. Which is your right of course but don’t be so transparent and stop pushing that’s pro black shyt because Its clearly conditional

If this story was about a straight black singer / actor he’d surely get the benefit of the doubt and y’all would be chastising the media for even implying it was made up . But since this dude takes it up the ass y’all wanna switch sides

Either black is black or it’s not

And it’s not
Which is why I don’t and will never hop on that faux pro black wave. Ever

The latest...

Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., has called on the FBI to investigate the attack as a hate crime. President Donald Trump, asked about it at a news conference, said, “It’s horrible. Doesn’t get worse.”

Taraji P. Henson, who plays Smollett’s character’s mother on the show, tweeted: “I wish what happened to my baby was just one big bad joke but it wasn’t and we all feel his pain right now. @jussiesmollett is pure love to the bone.”

But the lack of progress in the case has fueled some harsh skepticism on social media. Smollett’s family acknowledged that in releasing its first public statement about the incident Thursday.

“We want to be clear, this was a racial and homophobic hate crime,” the statement said. “Jussie has told the police everything from the very beginning. His story has never changed, and we are hopeful they will find these men and bring them to justice. Our family thanks everyone for their prayers and the huge amount of love he has received.”

For now, the only lead police appear to have are pictures from a surveillance camera on New Street near Illinois Street, taken between 1:30 a.m. and 1:45 a.m. Smollett, who plays Jamal Lyon on Fox’s “Empire,” said he was attacked about 15 to 30 minutes later around the corner.

“They are outside on a street walking,” Guglielmi said. “They are in the area that we have determined it could have taken place … in the time and the area. It certainly leads us to have questions for them.’’

Smollett told police he had just left a Subway when two men in dark clothes approached and yelled the slurs. Smollett told police he was hit and a chemical — maybe bleach — was poured on him. They put a rope around his neck and yelled, “This is MAGA country,’’ he told detectives. The initials stand for Make America Great Again, a Trump campaign slogan.

Police were called just after 2:30 a.m. A friend of the actor told responding officers that “a noose was placed over the friend’s neck.”

So far, police detectives have used at least three surveillance cameras to piece together what Guglielmi called “a digital puzzle,’’ tracking the movements of both Smollett and the two people of interest. Smollett is seen walking in one direction on a street and the two other people are walking the other way.

“One was going north and one going south,’’ Guglielmi said. There are times when Smollett and the two people are out of range.

“They kind of all go off camera and reappear in different cameras,” he said. “You almost have to watch them at the same time’’ because each camera shows the same time stamp but from different angles.

There is no footage so far of any attack, he said.

Guglielmi said footage from the apartment building is sharp and shows Smollett walking in with a white rope around his neck. “We can confirm that, yeah, it was a rope, tied as a noose. It was tied that way,’’ he said. “You can tell it’s a rope tied as a noose.’’

Forty minutes later, as officers responded with their body cameras turned on, Smollett still had the rope around his neck, but it was untied.

“It was draped around his neck still, but it’s not fashioned as a noose,” Guglielmi said. “It was loosely dangling rope.” Officers took the rope and some of Smollett’s clothing as evidence.

Smollett went on his own to Northwestern Memorial Hospital nearby and was treated for cuts to his face, according to Guglielmi.

The actor told police he was on the phone with his manager during the attack, but both of them have refused to turn over their phone records, Guglielmi said.

“Both the victim and his manager have made statements to detectives that they were on the phone with each other,” the police spokesman said in an email. “We were not able to independently verify that because they did not turn over cellphone records to police when asked.

“That being said, we have no reason to doubt the statements given, and the reason that detectives requested cellphone records is because the manager and the victim have a financial relationship with each other,” he added. “Because of that, independent verification was needed for the investigation.”

Brandon Z. Moore, Smollett’s music manager, declined to comment to the Tribune. “Nothing I can tell you,” he said by phone.

Guglielmi said detectives “still have a lot more cameras to look at. But now that we’ve got potential persons of interest, the focus will be following their paths. Where did they come from and where did they go?

“We’ve got a dozen detectives out there looking for leads, so anything can happen,’’ he said.

A week before Smollett reported the attack, a letter containing white powder and making racial and homophobic threats was mailed to the actor at Cinespace Chicago Film Studios, where “Empire” is filmed, according to police. The letter triggered a hazardous materials call, but fire crews determined the powder was not dangerous.

The FBI has since taken over the investigation into the letter while Chicago police continue to look into Tuesday’s incident, authorities said.

“Empire,” which premiered on the Fox network in 2015, is a musical drama that films in Chicago for most of the year. Smollett plays a gay musician.

Production on “Empire” resumed Thursday after Chicago's subzero temperatures shut down filming of TV shows across the city Wednesday. “Empire” filmed scenes at Cinespace, a source told the Tribune.

It was unclear whether Smollett went back to work Thursday. A Fox representative declined to comment on filming. “Empire” also was scheduled to shoot at Park Community Church on the Near North Side, according to notices posted near the church, but there was no sign of filming there at midday. The church’s voicemail message indicated its office is closed until Monday because of the weather.

Signs posted Thursday outside a Northwest Side park said “Empire” was scheduled to film there Friday.

Wait....

He was in STREETERVILLE?

Ain’t nobody getting jumped in streeterville, it’s a upscale area, downtown, right off the lake.

It would’ve felt like -30 or -40 degrees with wind chill at that time of the night for it being so close to the lake. Who the fukk would bring bleach around?

This culo blaster is definitely lying
