Jussie Smollett maintains his innocence in a new song
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - MARCH 16: Former "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett (light mask) is released from the Cook County Department of Corrections detention center on March 16, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois. Smollett began serving a 150-day sentence on March 10, after being found guilty late last year of lying to police about a hate crime after he reported to police that two masked men physically attacked him, yelling racist and anti-gay remarks near his Chicago home in 2019. Today an appellate court judge ordered him freed while his case is appealed. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
Jussie Smollett is innocent. So he says in a new song. He dropped the song called “Thank you God” on Friday where he sings “Thank you God for showin’ me my enemies” among other things. He also sings: “I can’t be mad / Take my ego out / Some people searching for fame / Some people chasing that clout / Just remember this, this ain’t that situation / You think I’m stupid enough to kill my reputation?” Jussie is donating any profits from the song to the Rainbow Push Coalition. You can listen to the song below.
