- The brothers paid by Empire actor Jussie Smollett to carry out a staged attack on him have broken their silence in a bombshell interview – set to air days after the Empire star sought to clear his name by appealing a guilty verdict arrived in 2021.
- Smollett paid Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo $3,500 to stage the January 2019 attack on the streets of Chicago as an apparent hate crime, in a shameless bid to coax sympathy from the public.
- The plot came to light after the brothers, a pair of aspiring actors from Nigeria, confessed the mugging was a hoax after nearly two days in a Chicago lockup.
