The two Nigerian brothers who were arrested in connection with the alleged assault against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett in Chicago are no longer suspects in the case after telling the police that they were paid to stage the attack, according to new reports.
The brothers, Ola and Abel Osundairo, reportedly told detectives Smollett paid them $3,500 before they left for Nigeria on Jan. 29, the day the attack was reported.
