WATCH: Nigerian Brothers Behind Jussie Smollett’s Hate Hoax Recreate The Attack In Hilarious Video

The men paid $3500 to beat up Jussie Smollett, Abimbola “Bola” Osundairo and Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo, appear in an exclusive docu-series “Jussie Smollett: Anatomy of a Hoax” now streaming on Fox Nation.

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.

Now speaking for the first time, they slammed Smollett as a ‘crazy fraudster’ who paid them for the ambush so he could be heralded as a ‘poster boy for activism.’

The Corporate Media pounced on the alleged hate crime and brushed aside any suggestion that there were any possible implausibilities in the claim that a couple of bigoted, white Trump supporters wearing MAGA hats were just wandering around Chicago at 2 am during a polar vortex with rope and a bottle of bleach on the hunt for a C-level actor of a show that doesn’t exactly cater to the MAGA crowd.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who was running to be the 2020 Democratic nominee at the time, famously tweeted that the attack on Smollett was “an attempted modern day lynching” using it to push forward her co-sponsored federal anti-lynching legislation. She later deleted the tweet when the story fell apart. The bill, however, did pass.

Harris played dumb when a journalist asked her about the tweet on the campaign trail.

Police time and resources were wasted on this investigation into a fake hate incident when they could have been better used to solve actual crime in Chicago.

The brothers said that they agreed to the scheme because they believed Smollett would help their careers, instead, he hung them out to dry.

In a clip posted by The Daily Mail, Amibola called Smollett crazy for doubling down and that the brothers still feel betrayed by Smollett for not owning up to his guilt in the incident.

The docu-series includes interviews with the Osundairo brothers as well as Chicago detectives investigating the case and Chicago Police Department Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson who blasted Smollett as “shameful” and “despicable” for arranging the incident.

Fox News is also promoting the series in segments on various shows.
