“When I met her, I was homeless living out of a 1996 conversion van.“
These words from country superstar Jelly Roll just broke the internet. Trolls have spent years calling his wife, Bunnie Xo, a “gold digger” since his massive rise to fame.
Jelly Roll just fired back with a legendary reaction that proves the haters have it all backward.
During a recent sit-down with Evan Paul on Taste of Country Nights, the singer admitted the truth about their 2015 meeting in Las Vegas.
Bunnie was actually the one with the money.
“If anyone was digging for gold it was I, the ‘Popeye’,” Jelly Roll joked during the interview.
He was a struggling artist with absolutely nothing to his name while Bunnie provided the stability they needed.
She didn’t just give him a place to stay.
Bunnie also helped him get custody of his daughter, Bailee Ann, long before the hit records and sold-out arenas.
