Jelly Roll, the charismatic crooner of “Run It,” found himself in a political plot twist no one saw coming when he shook hands with Donald Trump at UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden on November 16th. What followed? A cocktail of controversy and confusion, shaken and stirred by the internet. Naturally, he spilled all the beans—and maybe some moonshine—on his wife Bunnie XO’s podcast Dumb Blonde.

Here’s the thing: Jelly Roll gives zero flips about the backlash. Zero. Nada. Zilch.

“Dude, like seriously? If someone says, ‘Hey, wanna meet the president-elect?’ I’m not gonna be like, ‘Nah, I’ve got laundry to fold.’ I’m going,” Jelly declared, with all the chill of a man who knows his priorities.

He went on: “Listen, if Joe Biden called me up mid-taco bite and said, ‘Hey, wanna hang?’ I’d be out the door with guac on my shirt. It’s the president! Policies? Schmolicies. I don’t even know where my keys are half the time, let alone what anyone’s stance is on tariffs.”

Let’s get one thing straight: Jelly isn’t trying to be all, “I’m not political,” while secretly clutching a list of hot takes. No, he’s the dude who openly admits he’s not playing the politics game because, honestly, he hasn’t even read the rulebook.

“Look, I grew up in a house where voting was like a family sport,” he explained. “My parents were all, ‘Do your civic duty!’ But they also drilled into me this old-school respect-your-leaders vibe. So yeah, meeting Trump? That was wild.”

But did the internet go bananas about it? Oh, absolutely. Jelly Roll, however, isn’t losing sleep over keyboard warriors.

“It was awesome to meet Trump. That’s the truth. It’s like getting to meet the final boss in a video game,” he said, shrugging off the drama. “And honestly? If shaking hands with a president gets you hate, what do I get for hugging my neighbor who still mows his lawn in jean shorts?”

Bunnie XO chimed in with her two cents, which might as well have been gold-plated. “Meeting a president—or even a vice president—is a freaking honor! It’s like, ‘Hi, I exist in the history books now, thank you.’”

Moral of the story? Jelly Roll’s got his priorities straight: tacos, presidents, and not sweating the small stuff. The man’s living his best life, and honestly? Respect.
