Ola and Abel Osundairo, Nigerian brothers, who were arrested in the ongoing investigation of the Empire star, Jussie Smollett attack are said to be pro-LGBTQ.
This new development through the film community including the “Empire” crew into confusion. This is because the pro-LGBTQ brothers do not fit into the profile of racists.
As far as reports go, the men are said to be friends of Smollett. Besides this, neither are pro-Trump.
Abel, an “Empire” crew extra together with his brother were likeable on set. They have also found favour with the police who believe that they do not fit the profile that Smollett described. Besides, Smollett had said that the two who attacked him where white.
Smollett had also said that the men who attacked him made reference to MAGA (Make America Great Again).
