Jelly Roll has revealed the valuable piece of advice The Rock gave him ten years ago.
Country singer Jelly Roll, who recently made his professional wrestling debut for WWE, was a guest on the INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet podcast. He discussed his early wrestling memories, his incredible weight loss, his in-ring debut at SummerSlam 2025, and also meeting The Rock after a decade of knowing each other.
Jelly Roll stated that The Rock got in touch with him when he discovered his music.
“Dude, it was like I almost cried when I hugged him, just for all he’s done for me, as a friend. I don’t know if I’ve ever expressed this this way, but dude, when he first discovered my music, he sent me a message. He was the biggest box office star in the world at the time, and I was an underground rapper from Antioch, Tennessee, with 100,000 YouTube subscribers. This dude just immediately started pouring into me, sending voice notes, not even just messages on Instagram, voice notes, so you know it’s him.”
Jelly Roll also revealed how The Rock advised him to stay patient before the world understands him.
“It’s like, ‘Hey, brother, just want you to know I spent some time in Nashville, gave me his Nashville history, and he was like, I understand you, the world will understand you. Be patient with them. They might not get it now, but they’ll get it. You’re speaking for a group of people that’s unspoken for.’ This dude saying stuff to me like this a decade ago.”
Jelly Roll Also Revealed How The Rock Reacted To His SummerSlam Match
Speaking on the same interview, Jelly Roll stated that The Rock was “all praises” after his match at SummerSlam 2025, and revealed how The People’s Champion offered to help him when he told him about his plans to make his in-ring debut.
“Just, all praises. Because I talked to him about it, then I was like, ‘Man, I think I want to get involved in a match.’ He’s like, ‘You can get healthy enough?’ I was like, Yeah, man. He’s like, ‘Go shoot for it, brother.’”
“So he immediately, I’m like, I’m having a match, and he stops, we’re walking, and he stops and looks at me and goes, ‘How can I help?’ I’m like no I got it, I’m talking to Triple H. Like, we’re good. He’s like, just let me know. You know what I mean. But like, that instant, like, that’s his spirit in life.”
