Jelly Roll emotional on Jimmy Kimmel
Jelly Roll returned to Jimmy Kimmel visibly emotional while the post claims he is losing a significant chunk of his fan base for speaking against the President. He insisted human dignity isn't Republican or Democrat, compassion isn't left wing and mercy isn't right wing, noting there are no boundaries or borders for broken families. Pain and healing don't know partisanship so hurting hearts matter more than poll numbers. His dad taught him it's never too late to do the right thing. He admitted joking about being a convicted felon wasn't a joke because this country gave him a chance to change his life. He built a life, made music, cared for family, won a Grammy, and called that the American dream. He identifies as a man of second chances.
