Convicted race-baiter Jussie Smollett turned his continued claims of innocence into an R&B tune that he released on Friday, just weeks after walking free from jail where he served only six days of a 150-day sentence for staging a fake hate crime.
“It’s like they’re hell-bent on not solving the crime,” Smollett began in the song “Thank you God…” released on streaming platforms. “Taking out the elements of race and trans and homophobia that’s straight taking lives / But turn around and act like I’m the one that killed the strides.” “I can’t be mad / Take my ego out / Some people searching for fame / Some people chasing that clout / Just remember this, this ain’t that situation / You think I’m stupid enough to kill my reputation?” the former “Empire” star rapped slowly.
Smollet lyrically denied any wrongdoing although convicted of paying two men to make himself the fake victim of a racist and homophobic attack.
“Just simply to look like a victim like it’s something fun / Y’all better look at someone else, you got the wrong one,” he said with female backup singers. “All I ever wanted to do was make my people proud / Fame is nothing real, it’s how you make them feel / Celebrity is for the birds, I ain’t no man of steel,” he rhymed.
Smollett was released from jail last month on a $150,000 bond pending the outcome of an appeal of his initial conviction.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
