Jelly Roll Joins Eminem On Stage In Michigan
Even though it is CMA Fest in his hometown and he performs at Nissan Stadium’s big stage tomorrow night (6/8), Jelly Roll made the trek to Michigan last night, where he joined Eminem on stage. Eminem made a surprise appearance at a concert celebrating the grand reopening of the Michigan Central Station in Detroit.
Jelly joined the rapper, accompanied by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, to perform Eminem’s “Sing for the Moment,” which samples Aerosmith’s “Dream On.”
Along with Eminem, the concert included performances from Detroit natives, including Jack White, Diana Ross, Big Sean, Illa J, Kierra Sheard, Theo Parrish, Slum Village, The Clark Sisters, Sky Jetta, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Jelly and his wife Bunnie have revealed they are trying to have a baby together. Jelly has two children, one from two different women, but not his wife, Bunnie, and the famous couple wants to start a family.
Bunnie posted a clip of an interview where Jelly reveals that the couple is trying to have a baby.
She captioned the clip on Instagram, “God Willing- Baby DeFord 2026 @bussinwtb.”

On Insta Stories, Bunnie explained further, “We had planned on doing this privately but decided our IVF journey needed to be shared because we’ve always been so open.”
She added, “And with all odds stacked against us, it’s already been hard [and] we have only just begun.”
Bunnie said in a recent interview, “We genuinely never thought we’d want to add to our family, but something changed this year [and] we both just want a piece of us together to add to our already perfect family with Bailee [and] Noah.”

Before the ACM Awards last month (5/16), Jelly chatted about how hard it was for him to write and then share his song “Save Me” the song with people. He said, “‘Save Me.’ Man, was that one. I had trouble playing it in a room for people for like 3-4 weeks after I recorded it.”
He added, “Like, I couldn’t listen to it with them, you know what I mean? And so, singing it was really rough.”
Jelly went on to say that the song, which won an ACM For Musical Event of the Year with Lainey Wilson, literally saved him. In his acceptance speech at the show, he said from the podium, “I’m gonna try not to get emotional, but seriously, this song saved me. I was in a dark place. I wrote it from my soul. I knew people would connect with it.”
