While it was rumored months ago that Trai Byers wanted out of “Empire,” now it seems as if Jussie could be the one to really walk away.
On last night’s episode, Jamal Lyon was shot accidentally by Freda Gatz (she was aiming for Lucious Lyon, but Jamal jumped in front to shield his father), and Jamal’s fate is still up in the air considering the episode ended without an update of his status.
However, Jussie actually took to Twitter to suggest the character was killed off the show.
Read tweets from top to bottom:
Honestly, we just don’t think FOX would go through with killing off such a beloved character so soon. We wouldn’t be surprised if Jussie was just trolling. But time will tell.
He ain’t going nowhere.
He’s just being extra. I’m sure Jamal will survive. Great episode by the way. The writing has improved.
Overdramatic a-s. All this just for Jamal to survive. Sit your a-s down Jussie.
Yeah right try again Jussie he know damn well he not leaving. Just trying to spark a buzz about the finale. I still watch Empire but they going to have to address the writing of the show because it has been horrible and it ain’t getting better.
I’m sure he won’t die. He’s too much of a fan favorite.
He better not be dead. I’d stop watching.
