Jussie Smollett may be trying to get his career back on track, according to reports, but it looks like the Osundairo brothers are capitalizing off of the 15 minutes of infamy. Now that the charges against Smollett have been dropped, the brothers, Abel and Ola, both have no legal consequence since the Chicago Police Department only investigated the attack on the actor as a staged event. The Osundairos are jumping headfirst back into their fitness business, and according to TMZthings are looking up for the workout duo.

The publication reports that hundreds of people have been hitting the brothers up for training and diet plans. The brothers are pushing a new "Team Abel" fitness package, but a basic plan, sans personal training, will run you about $30. Premium packages are $50 "including a diet program, strength training, power training, shred training and a four-week meal plan."

The pair have returned to what they were doing before this scandal shook up their world, but now that there aren't any charges on the horizon, people are still wondering whether or not they'll speak out about their involvement. TMZ claims that Abel and Ola are open to doing an exclusive interview, but only if the pay is right.

The two were mysteriously out of sight when it was announced that Smollett was facing a case. It was later reported that the brothers were being held up in a hotel for a witness protection program of sorts to keep them out of the public eye. It's also said that the Chicago Police Department footed the bill for their stay.
