Jelly Roll Always Wants To Lend A Helping Hand
Since he made it big, Jelly Roll has stopped at prisons and shelters, with the goal of showing the light at the end of the tunnel. He was once a felon, constantly being arrested, and estranged from his firstborn, Bailee. Yet, he turned his whole life around and now has full custody of Bailee, who just made prom queen and is about to graduate high school. Furthermore, he shares custody of his son, Noah Buddy, with an ex, has a successful marriage to Bunnie Xo, and just won three Grammys. There is seemingly nothing Jelly cannot do, and fans are making it clear that he inspires them every day.
On Monday, May 4th, Jelly Roll swung by Jimmy Kimmel Live!, but stepped out to greet a wheelchair-bound fan. His mother was desperate to share his story with Jelly about how his music inspired her son to start singing. She immediately played a song to a very gracious Jelly who could not believe how beautiful it was. He signed a poster as she shared her other child was three months free from fentanyl. Jelly then learned that they were attending a show and he asked that his people get their information so that they would get the red carpet treatment.
“We’ll party Friday, we’ll party Friday.
Jelly Roll kept reassuring the family that they would have a great time at the show and that they would meet everyone. Finally, he asked if they all wanted to take a picture before he headed back and it was a great meeting.
