Play stupid games with Jelly Roll, win stupid prizes | Music City Minute

“WWE SmackDown!” was filmed at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on July 11, and Jelly Roll was on hand ended up delivering a “smack down” of his own. Initially, it seemed like Jelly Roll was only there to perform and hype up the crowd. However, he was rudely cut off mid-song by Logan Paul, who was talking a bunch of trash about the artist and his family. The “Liar” singer finally stood up to the YouTube star and served up one heck of a whoopin’. Personally, I also loved the shots of the live audience, including his wife Bunnie XO, who was seated next to Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. With all the work that he’s been putting into a healthier lifestyle, I think Mr. Jason DeFord would have a great backup career in wrestling if this whole country rockstar thing doesn’t work out.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
