During his interview, he also explained that he still stans for Jussie Smollett, after the star’s reputation descended into shambles amid hate crime hoax accusations.

“He’s my boy and I will always be in support of him and that’s that.” Adding, “It’s a very interesting time today. All I know is that you need to be a friend, and a friend isn’t a friend only when things are great, that isn’t what a friend is, that’s a fan.”

Diggs stays in close communication with Jussie, who he describes as super “talented.”

“We’ve been texting. We are trying to find something we can work on together because people have no idea how talented that boy is, young man… so selfishly I want to get some of that, so we got to figure that out.”

In terms of his projects, Diggs will return as coach Bill Baker in his show “All American.”

“We got the second season… Netflix took the reins.”
