Jamal Lyon’s days aren’t numbered after all, even though Empire actor Jussie Smollett hinted at his departure via Twitter Thursday.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time w/ @EmpireFOX. I love you all. Truth. Time 2 make a record & some movies. #Empire,” he wrote, ending the tweet with a rose emoji.

However, EW has learned Smollett is not leaving the show and remains under contract.

The tweet followed up Wednesday’s cliffhanger episode of Fox’s hit music drama, during which Smollett’s character was shot and rushed into surgery.
