Jussie Smollett Shares Song After Release From Jail, Rapping About His “Reputation”

“Just remember this…this ain’t that situation / You think I’m stupid enough to kill my reputation? / Just simply to look like a victim, like it’s something fun?” He raps. “Y’all better look at someone else, you got the wrong one.” 

While Smollett gave a shout out to “the people who kept it real, who kept it true,” he also leveled with others who might not have sided with him, sharing that with “the narrative they played / I really over-stand the reason why y’all felt betrayed.” 

“They had my own people, thoughts going off the wall / That’s why from L.D. to Don I still got love for y’all,” he raps. “I know we’ll meet again / Talk like real men instead of sharing shade in rooms and up on CNN.” 

The artist adds in the track that “all I ever really wanted to do was make my people proud.” 

In the video’s caption, Smollett revealed that “100% of the profits” from the song will be donated toward The Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Illinois Innocence Project and Secure The Bag Safety. “With Love…,” he wrote, before adding the hashtag #ThankYouGod.
