Jelly Roll‘s latest shopping trip didn’t exactly go as planned.
After performing a string of shows in Australia over the past week, the country star posted to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Nov. 5 and opened up about feeling unwelcome during a trip to the Louis Vuitton store in Sydney.
“Hey man, the Louis Vuitton in Sydney legitimately just treated us like we were finna come in and rob that place,” said Jelly with a laugh, filming himself walking outside with the store visible in the background.
The “Save Me” singer continued, “I have never been looked at more like a crim— Listen, the last time I was looked at like a criminal this bad, I was an actual criminal this bad.”
A rep for Louis Vuitton did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Throughout his career, Jelly’s been open about his criminal past. He’s gone to jail around 40 times for various drug charges and couldn’t even tour internationally until recently.
In an Interview magazine conversation with Jon Bon Jovi last year, Jelly said, “I’m so excited [to perform outside the United States]. We’re figuring out the final pieces of some legal puzzles for me to get overseas.”
“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,” added the Grammy-nominated artist. “We’re working on that. I think it’s going to work in my favor.”
The “Need a Favor” artist — who toured Europe with Post Malone earlier this year — was first arrested at age 14, two years before he was arrested for aggravated robbery, charged as an adult and served over a year in prison as well as seven years’ probation.
“I never want to overlook the fact that it was a heinous crime,” he told Billboard in 2023. “This is a grown man looking back at a 16-year-old kid that made the worst decision that he could have made in life and people could have got hurt and, by the grace of God, thankfully, nobody did.”
