Jelly Roll revealed he is struggling to book international tour dates due to his past felony convictions.
During the chat, Bon Jovi asked Jelly Roll if he’s been able to tour outside the U.S. yet. “Not yet,” he replied. “I’m so excited. We’re figuring out the final pieces of some legal puzzles for me to get overseas.”
A surprised Bon Jovi inquired, “Really?” “Yeah,” Jelly Roll confirmed. “It’s funny, America has finally agreed to let me leave and give me a passport, but some countries won’t let me come because of my felonies. We’re working on that. I think it’s going to work in my favor.” He added, “For the record I’m a kid from Antioch, Tennessee, whose father never left the southeastern region until he was in his fifties. I still have friends in Antioch who have never left. They’ve never seen a football game downtown—just watch the Titans on TV every Sunday. I’m like, ‘You know the stadium is 18 minutes away, right? We can get a ticket for $10.'”
Jelly Roll has been open about his felony convictions and has admitted to being in jail around 40 times, most of which were for drug-related charges. Last month, in an interview on Joe Rogen’s podcast, the musician discussed his aggravated robbery charge. “We robbed a couple of guys for some weed,” he acknowledged. “It was a heinous crime, admittedly… It was an armed robbery, we went in there with a gun.” He served seven years probation for the crime.
Jelly Roll has been candid throughout his career about his own struggle with depression. Back in 2021, the musician published a lengthy post on offering insight into how depression has impacted him. “I think the reason I decided to finally post this is because I feel the need to be honest, and also it’s my public vow to start being more transparent and hope that maybe you all will help me stay accountable at seeking help and fighting this demon.
