Jelly Roll has revealed he is having trouble booking an international tour due to his past felonies.
In a new interview with Jon Bon Jovi for Interview magazine, the country artist confirmed that his legal record has prevented his team from being able to book international shows.
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.”
Jelly Roll continued, “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.”
“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,” he added. “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 in jail around 40 times, most of which were for drug-related charges.
