can you all PLEASE stop trying to cover for him?! his role in the series HAS been minimized and the writers/producers of EMPIRE have been forced to do so by the FOX network. they cant just write him off yet because he his storyline is vital to the season finale. HOWEVER, once the eason wraps, Jussie wont even be free to film additional episodes. WHAT WAS REPORTED YESTERDAY IS 100% TRUE. I can not state how I know this, but please just be aware.
