Is Jussie Smollett Leaving “Empire”?

It’s been about a year and half since the musical soap opera that follows the inner workings of the Lyons family, “Empire”, made it’s debut on FOX. After an extremely warm reception, the drama seems to be losing some steam with ratings declining each week. Now there seems to be a few plot twists on the show and behind the scenes.

If you missed last night episode, [SPOILER ALERT!] Luscious Lyons’ protege, Freda Gatz,  accidentally shot Luscious’ son, Jamal Lyons, with a bullet that was meant for Luscious. Freda was arrested, while Jamal was rushed to emergency surgery leaving us all wondering about his fate.

Well we may not have to wonder too much longer because Jussie Smollett, the actor who plays Jamal, may have spilled the beans last night with a cryptic tweet insinuating his departure from the popular show.

Has Jamal be killed off ? The season 2 finale airs next week, so I guess we’ll have to wait until then to know for sure. Jamal is a fan favorite and it’s hard not to wonder if Empire will be no more if there is no more Jamal. Will you still watch if this season is the last we’ll see of Jamal Lyons?
