Weeks after That Grape Juice exclusively broke the story, Smollett took to press to discuss the incident and his ongoing healing (as we reported here), but only further ignited criticism along the way.  As some outlets began reporting conclusively that his attack was a ‘hoax’ due to fear of ‘his character being written off the hit series ‘Empire,’ the Chicago Police took to Twitter to deny any such statement coming from their camp.

As we reported here, earlier this week the rapstress told the press she and the Migos star were “working things out” just months after announcing their breakup due to his reported infidelities.  Now, taking to our friends at Entertainment Tonight, she confirms they are not only working it out but fans shouldn’t be surprised if baby Kulture doesn’t have a little sister or brother in the future.
