Country star Jelly Roll hit back at people upset that he recently decided to meet with President-elect Donald Trump, explaining that he was taught to respect the president regardless of politics.
During an appearance on his wife Bunnie Xo‘s podcast Dumb Blonde, the 40-year-old singer — born Jason DeFord — said that when he met with Trump at the UFC 309 event at Madison Square Garden in New York it was an opportunity he wouldn’t pass up, no matter who was the president.
“Dude, there’s not a chance in hell that I’m not going to meet the president-elect,” Jelly Roll said. “I don’t care.”
“If I got a call to meet [President] Joe Biden, I would have stopped at any point and [met] him,” he added. “That’s the active president. I don’t care about what he thinks or I think about policies.”
