It doesn't hurt someone's conspiracy theory. 🙂
Ok, so let's say he buys drugs from these guys. A movie mogul with a vendetta against Smollett knows this, and decides to use it to set him up, talks the two attacking him with promises of lucrative movie contracts/payouts, and an assurance if they cooperate with police they probably won't go to prison, and will be very very rich even if they do.
After the attack, leakers conveniently pop up with tips of Smollett hiring his own attackers, which Smollett will deny because it's not true. The checks he used to buy drugs (Which are an incredibly stupid way to buy drugs) get found, and assumed to be for hiring them.
Smollett is left looking like a fool in one of the worst "self hits" ever made, which makes this one of the best "takedowns" ever made, because no one would ever suspect he was the victim.
All the pieces fit, if someone wanted to go this route. It's fool proof.

Only an idiot would believe this.

Pretty much proves my point why this is PERFECT.
Only a crazy psycho would believe it. Yet, compared to the idea of Smollett hiring these guys to attack himself for the money, it's more likely to succeed, BECAUSE no one would ever think of it.
There's nothing really hard to set up, either. I mean, people have set up other people by planting drugs in their car, and sending "anonymous tips" to police. Car gets searched, guy goes to prison.

Whodunit is the weakest part of my theory. I like yours better.
Being completely honest now, I do think the tips to police were kind of convenient. If this wasn't a frame job, then Smollett picked some really fantastic friends to confide in.
