A day after suffering the brutal attack, Jussie has not canceled his live performance at Troubadou, a popular West Hollywood hot spot.

The 35-year-old actor and singer was taken to Northwestern hospital early Tuesday, January 29 after he was the victim of an apparent homophobic and racist hate crime where police say he was choked and doused in some type of chemical.
