'Empire's'Jussie Smollett sues city of Chicago over malicious prosecution

Jussie Smollett thinks the city of Chicago owes him for defaming his character.

Jussie Smollett isn't letting sleeping lie as he has sued the city of Chicago over what he describes as malicious prosecution against him.

According to TMZ, the 'Empire' star is suing the city of Chicago for creating a false story against him which has cost him a lot. In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Smollett notes the Osundairo brothers were held for 47 hours and they adamantly denied any involvement in the assault.

Jussie Smollett believes it was only after the police had offered the Osundairos a soft landing that they began to sing a different song about the attack. He believes his attacker wasn't a black person rather a white male.
