Less than a week after being the victim of an apparent hate crime. Jussie Smollett is still going through with his concert. Which is incredible due to the circumstances of the attack that he went though.

However today he announced that he's canceled the meet and greet portion of his show. According to TMZ an email was sent Friday afternoon to all ticket holders that reads, in part, "For security reasons we cannot accommodate any meet & greets. What's strange is that the email doesn't refer to any specific threat.

The show is out in L.A. this weekend. Far away from where the attack took place. We will keep an eye on this situation as more information comes to light.
