Police have now arrested 2 men in the Jussie Smollett investigation ... 2 men who are brothers with ties to "Empire" and TMZ has learned they were booked for battery.
The men are brothers from Nigeria named, Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo, and Chicago cops are now calling them "potential suspects" ... as opposed to persons of interest. We know it was their home cops raided on Thursday and seized a long list of potential evidence ... including several bottles of bleach.

Jussie has been very private person. Doesn't he have a secret boyfriend (he mentioned a partner in the GMA interview)? It just seems so odd that he would participate in something like this that would invite so much media and legal scrutiny.

The two brothers questioned and released in the Jussie Smollett investigation said in a statement that they are not racist, homophobic, or anti-President Trump.
The statement from Ola and Abel Osundairo addressed the multitude of theories around the case that have spread in news reports and on social media. Smollett told police he was beaten on Jan. 29 at 2 a.m. by two men who shouted racist and homophobic slurs and referenced “MAGA.”
“We are not racist. We are not homophobic and we are not anti-Trump. We were born and raised in Chicago and are American citizens,” Ola and Abel Osundairo said in a joint statement on Monday, first provided to CBS and then to TheWrap.

Alex McDaniel claims Abel Osundairo used offensive words about gay men with witnesses claiming Abel said he could never be friends with a 'f****t', stating, 'hell no, f**k that'.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, McDaniel said he took offense at the comments and confronted Abel which led to an altercation.
The incident happened while filming scenes for season two of Empire at Cook County Juvenile Detention Center in Chicago in July of 2015.
Abel, 25, and his brother Ola, 27, allegedly attacked Empire star Smollett on January 29, threw bleach on him, tied a noose around his neck and yelled 'f****t', 'n****r' and 'This is MAGA country!'
However, after three weeks of investigation, Chicago police publicly announced that they believed Smollett paid the brothers to stage a fake attack because he was upset with his salary on Empire.
Smollett, 36, was arrested last week and charged with filing a false police report of a hate crime.
Now claims surrounding the alleged homophobic attitude of the Nigerian pair casts further intrigue on the case.
