It really does seem to me to be a planned hoax... A cheesy letter sent earlier, his manager in on it with the maga comment, and his old queen waiting for him at the apartment to report the imaginary attack.
I think it was a combination of trying to boost this guy’s career (Empire is almost over and his music career was just launching), and scoring political points for an anti Trump agenda

When officers arrived at his apartment, Smollett still had a white rope draped around his neck. The report also noted that officers turned off their body cameras at Smollett’s request, something that crime victims sometimes ask officers to do, according to Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

This makes the story sound fake.

He gets beat up, the attackers put a rope around his neck, he escaped, went home, a friend persuaded him to report the crime.

So, in all this time he never takes the rope from around his neck?

The “guy” is wasting police resources in a sick attempt to promote his acting career—look at me, pity me. Don’t cut me from the script, I’ve been oppressed.

Wasn’t it a white rope? If that’s not categorical proof of a racism-fueled hate crime, I don’t know what is. /s

Possibly, but I don’t think so.

All circumstances point to a planned hoax...................

Probably not a lot of people hanging out their clothes in Chicago at this time of year. I suspect that they will find that he or his “friend” bought the clothesline and the purchase will be on video.
