Jussie Smollett premieres new song addressing his court case: 'You think I'm stupid enough to kill my reputation just simply to look like a victim?'... three weeks after being released from jail
The Empire star, 39, took to Instagram on Friday and posted a lyric video set to his new tune, Thank You God, where he touches on his recent legal troubles
'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?' he sings
'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 goes on
The actor notes that '100% of the profits' from the song will be donated to Rainbow Push Coalition, the Illinois Innocence Project and Secure the Bag Safety
