Fans are praising Jelly Roll for a random act of kindness towards a fan in Las Vegas over the weekend.
On Instagram, YouTuber and friend of the country star Mike Majlak shared a story of a street performer he encountered during his visit to Vegas. According to Majlak, the performer was singing Jelly Roll’s “Save Me” in hopes of making some money.
“this weekend while i was walking thru vegas, i noticed a man who was clearly down on his luck playing a jelly roll song hoping to make some money to continue getting by,” the influencer wrote. “i facetimed jelly and luckily he answered. he joined in singing “save me” with the man. after we stopped filming, the man and i shared a hug and we could hear him yelling “woooooo” as we walked away.”
“i got pretty emotional after and i was so happy that jelly made that man’s day and maybe even kept him going a little longer,” he added.
In the video, the unnamed street performer belts the lyrics into his microphone while Jelly Roll joins via FaceTime. After finishing their duet, the performer tells the country star he attended his Las Vegas show 3 years ago, and that his music inspires him and that it was an “honor” to meet him virtually.
Jelly Roll reflected on the heartwarming moment in the comment section, writing, “for real for real – thank you so much for calling me❤️.”
The “Hard Fought Hallelujah” singer wasn’t the only one moved by the impromptu duet. In the comment section, fans shared their reactions to the tear-jerking moment.
“Classy move sir 🤍🙏 making the world better,” wrote one fan. “So amazing and the struggle truly is so real. It is the simple things in life that helps one keep pushing through in this lifetime. God bless you.” commented another.
“And that has to be one of the best perks of having influence, being able to do things like this and make people’s days, weeks, or lives,” added a third.
One user who commented claims to be the street performer featured in the video. He reflected on the impact Jelly Roll’s kindness had on his life, writing, “Hi everybody im very grateful that this video is going viral im about to lose my place today so I’m going to be out on that bridge every single day every waking moment but I really want to say thank you for all of the likes and shares cus TBH I really want to be the voice for the voiceless.”
Jelly Roll recently came under fire for comments criticizing Christian singer Forrest Frank. After the comments went viral online, the Christian singer responded by issuing a statement addressing the country star on social media.
