Jelly Roll: Victoria Monet ‘Deserved’ Best New Artist GRAMMY
Jelly Roll did not win a GRAMMY last night in Los Angeles, but he did get “inspired” after the Best New Artist award went to Victoria Monet and not him.
Jelly posted a message to fans on his Insta Stories after the GRAMMYs. He wrote, “Just so we are clear – Victoria Monet deserved that award. She is incredible. She has been writing hits for everyone else for a long time, and she deserves every bit of that award.”
He added, “We come back next year stronger with more nominations – I’m inspired.”
In the next slide, he posted a photo of himself with Monet, congratulating her. The following slide showed a black-and-white photo of him hugging Taylor Swift.
Jelly Roll also posted a video clip to Instagram after the show. He told his almost 3 million followers, “Yo, I just got rained on; I just left the GRAMMYS; it was the coolest thing ever. I met Jay-Z, I met Stevie Wonder, I met so many people… I met Taylor Swift, what?” He then pointed out that it was the first time he had ever worn a designer outfit. His GRAMMY attire, a tan coat and pants, were by Louis Vuitton. Jelly closed with, “This is superfly. I felt handsome all night.”

Jelly has been teasing a new fun Superbowl commercial where he advertises for Uber Eats. He posted a clip of the new funny spot on his Instagram. In the clip, Jelly looks into a mirror and asks himself, astonished, “What happened to my face? Are these tattoos? They are everywhere.” Over the ad, these words appear: “Whatever you forget this Sunday, remember Uber Eats 2/11/24.”
He captioned the clip, “WHO DID THIS TO ME!?! @uber #ubdereats #ad.”
Many of Jelly’s fans reacted to the post, including one who wrote, “This is not only memorable but is going to go viral! Right, @ubereats ?!” Another fan said, “It was just a matter of time until you started popping up in advertisements for some major companies and corporations! Good for you, big guy. Keep leveling up, brother!” One more die-hard commented, “Bro, you’re killing it!!”
