Jamal Lyon aka Jussie Smollett remains on Empire, his character isn't dead afterall

Remember when Jussie Smollett aka Jamal Lyon on the show 'Empire' tweeted the above message and made everyone think he died after he took a gunshot for his Dad? 

Well, he didn't die, he survived the gunshot wound. He was kinda coy about it when fans called him out on it after the show aired last night and he was still alive. He made a video to redeem himself.

Listen 2 my words...I'll see y'all season 3. @gabby3shabby #IAintGoingNoWhere #IAintNoDumbHo #StillIRise #EmpireFinale #empire #PettyNiccasUnite
