Jussie Smollett already had a show scheduled at the Troubadour in the West Hollywood area of Los Angeles before he was attacked on Jan. 29 in a racist and homophobic hate crime. Fortunately, his doctors gave him the okay to perform. The actor and singer passionately spoke to the audience last night and even said, “I’m the gay 2Pac.”
Jussie took to the stage clearing up rumors that have been circulating in the media, “I was bruised but my ribs were not cracked. They were not broken. I went to the director immediately. I was not hospitalized. Both my doctors in L.A. and Chicago cleared me to perform but said to take care, obviously and, above all, I fought the f*ck back.” The crowd cheered as Jussie paused and then added, “I’m the gay 2pac,”
