Jelly Roll's Juggernaut: From Kimmel to WWE Smackdown and Beautifully Broken Tour

Jelly Roll - Jason Bradley DeFord BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Jelly Roll, better known these days as Jason Bradley DeFord, has dominated headlines the past week with moves that mix pop culture bombast and the raw relatability he’s built his entire persona on. Just days ago Jelly Roll made a thoroughly talked-about debut as a late-night talk show host, stepping in for Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Opening his monologue with his trademark self-deprecation, Jelly Roll joked, This is my first time doing something like this, and I’m going to try my best. I am. But if I really suck bad, y’all just remember — my name is Post Malone. That opener set the tone for an episode loaded with laughs and raw authenticity. He reminded the audience of his criminal past, quipping, Speaking as a guy who has been to prison before, it really is great to be here. I walked into a DMV yesterday and I was like, This is fucking awesome. God, this is great, as reported by People and Whiskey Riff. The hosting gig doubled as an ingenious promotional platform for Jelly Roll’s upcoming WWE SummerSlam appearance, where he’s set to tag-team with Randy Orton against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. The buildup spilled over to Kimmel’s own set, with Orton and McIntyre brawling right through the studio. Logan Paul even slapped Jelly Roll, only to be chokeslammed through a table by the country superstar in a moment that instantly exploded across wrestling and music social media channels, with clips replayed and analyzed everywhere from Wrestle Ops to TikTok. WWE insiders are buzzed about his commitment to the sport, with Damian Priest telling Busted Open that Jelly Roll is putting in work at a level that’s won over even skeptical wrestlers. Priest noted, Jelly Roll moved to Florida to be at the peak full-time because he’s taking this seriously. But SummerSlam isn’t the only arena Jelly Roll’s packing. Just released are dates for his Beautifully Broken Tour, his biggest headlining run yet, kicking off August 27 in Salt Lake City and crisscrossing major stadiums from Los Angeles to Boston and Atlanta, with support from Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay. Tour details are already fueling fan anticipation and ticket sales are expected to break his own records, as covered by Showbiz Junkies and IMDb. Jelly Roll has also sparked fresh online debates thanks to social media rumors around him allegedly refusing to celebrate Pride Month, reports TikTok, but no official comment or confirmation from Jelly Roll himself has been issued. On the lighter side, the rapper’s image recently got a playful Ryan Reynolds Maximum Effort ad tribute, cementing his place as an unlikely but lovable American cultural fixture. All this comes as Jelly Roll’s personal journey continues to fuel the fascination: the Nashville native’s storied rise from addiction and multiple incarcerations to country music stardom and mainstream icon status is still what fans admire. Now, with a late-night debut, a headline-dominating WWE match on deck, a nationwide tour, and a social following itching for more, Jelly Roll’s very public reinvention seems only to be accelerating, and every major entertainment outlet is squaring up to watch what happens next.
