Jelly Roll is defending his decision to meet President-elect Donald Trump at the UFC 309 event last month at Madison Square Garden, saying he grew up knowing to respect a president.
Last month, country star Jelly Roll's interaction with President-elect Donald Trump at the UFC 309 event held at Madison Square Garden ignited a fervent conversation on social media, exacerbated by body language analysis. Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, exhibited undeniable excitement when meeting Trump, a reaction he chose to defend on this week's episode of his wife, Bunnie XO's podcast, 'Dumb Blonde.
There’s not a chance in hell I’m not going to meet the president-elect…I don’t care…if I would have got a call to go meet Joe Biden at any point, I would have stopped what I was doing to go meet him. That’s the active president. I wouldn’t have cared what people thought…what I even think about his policies.' 'I didn't grow up in a voting culture. My father didn't push voting on me. My mother didn't push voting on me,' the Tennessee-raised singer said.
