While Taraji P. Henson has pushed for Jussie Smollett's release from jail, Freddie Gibbs has takes an opposite stand.
“Capitol rioters have been getting shorter sentences than Jussie Smollett—do you think that’s fair or no?” a TMZ paparazzo asked Gibbs in the clip below.
“I think the Capitol rioters should go to jail and Jussie Smollett should go to jail, too, man. … Free Jussie Smollet in about three years,” Gibbs said. He went on to add, “Capitol rioters, fuck y’all n***as. Jussie Smollett, fuck you too, go to jail. … He did that bullshit, he should go to jail—just like bitches that fake rape should go to jail, he fake a hate crime, he should go to jail. Fuck Jussie Smollett.” The Alfredo artist then revised his recommended sentence, wrapping with, “Free Jussie Smollett in five years.”
Gibbs has some experience in legal cases, having been acquitted in September 2016 on charges of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in an alleged incident in Austria the year before. He was arrested in France while on tour and was released on bail.
