“B-Boy Blues” reps the first project for Smollett since being found guilty of making false reports about what he alleged to be a hate crime.

As part of the pickup, Mona Scott-Young and her Monami Entertainment has joined the film as a producer

“‘B-Boy Blues’ is an artful, heart-rending film about the complexity of love – something we all can relate to.”
