Jelly Roll has been making waves — and plenty of memories — during his first-ever tour in Australia. But not every stop Down Under has been a positive one.
The country superstar, who’s been headlining major festivals like Strummingbird, Harvest Rock, and Sunburnt Country, recently opened up about a disappointing shopping experience in Sydney that left him feeling profiled.
‘I’ve Never Been Looked at More Like a Criminal’
On Wednesday (Nov. 6), Jelly Roll shared a video on Instagram Stories recounting his visit to a Louis Vuitton store in downtown Sydney — and it wasn’t the warm welcome he expected.
“Hey man, the Louis Vuitton in Sydney legitimately just treated us like we were finna come in and rob that place,” he said.
