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

•Smollett was convicted of faking a hate crime in December 2021, sentenced to five months in jail, and released six days later pending his appeal

Unfortunately yes! you’re stupid enough to sacrifice your fame because you never thought about the possibility of getting caught

Reminds me of a book by OJ, “IF I did it.”
