Others were convinced that Jamal’s frenemy Freda Gatz was the one who killed him after she shot him in Wednesday night’s episode. Freda was actually coming for Jamal’s dad, Lucious Lyon as she had just found out that he was the one who killed her father in the season premiere. It was none other than Cookie’s sister who dropped the bomb. She was upset that Freda didn’t want to do her a favor so she said, “The only reason you’re here is because Lucious feels bad about what he did to your father.”
Freda then put it all together and realized that Lucious was the reason her father died. She grabbed a gun from a police officer at an event they were attending and lunged toward Lucious with it.
Interestingly enough, Jamal wanted to cut all ties with his family and even push back his album. But he still jumped in front of the bullet for Lucious, whose back was turned so he didn’t see Freda coming for him. After Jamal was rushed to the hospital following the shooting, everything changed between him and those close to him.
