Last week openly gay actor Jussie Smollett was attacked in a suspected hate crime near his apartment in downtown Chicago [click here if you missed that].
Jussie tells his fans he fought his attackers in his first performance since the incident...
Saturday night at the Troubadour in West Hollywood Jussie told his fans, "I had to be here tonight because I couldn't let those muthafuckas win."
Jussie also cleared up a few rumors, namely that his ribs were bruised not cracked, that he went to see a doctor immediately after the attack but was not hospitalized and most importantly that he fought back calling himself the gay Tupac.
