Jelly Roll: The Fan Note He Keeps In His Truck
Jelly Roll was a guest on John Cena’s new podcast, What Drives You with John Cena, and he told the wrestler/actor about a special note from a fan he keeps in his truck.
While driving around Nashville with Cena and showing off some of his vehicles, Jelly showed him his Ram 1500 Laramie along with a note a fan left for him four years ago.
Jelly told him, “You want to talk about what drives me? There’s a note right here. I want you to check it out if you don’t mind. You can read it right there on my dash.”
John read the note: “Your music saved my best friend’s life. Thank you for being unapologetically you and doing what you do,” the note read, simply signed “A.”
Then he asked the singer if he knew where the note came from or who wrote it, and Jelly said he didn’t, but he said that was the “cool thing” about it.
He offered, “They left this note on my window four years ago, and I sobbed in the parking lot reading this note. I got in and stuck it in my dash. Four years later, that thing is still taped on my dash.”

Jelly is a dad with the means to make his young son Noah’s dreams come true and he did just that when a Monster Truck Show rolled through Nashville recently.
Jelly posted a video of his and Noah’s experience on his Instagram. He said in the video as Noah climbed into the Gravedigger Monster truck, “Are you getting this? Is this not the coolest thing ever? I could have never got this close to Gravedigger. I watched Gravedigger from 180 yards away in the nosebleed section.”
The driver then lets Noah get in the driver’s seat, and his famous dad says, “I’m proud of you for working around that uhh…” The driver says, “That’s a seat bud.” Jelly tells Noah, “Yeah sit in the seat and look out. Imagine you’re driving the big monster.” The driver asks him what he thinks and Noah gushes, “It’s awesome.” Jelly then laughs and looks at the camera that his wife is holding.
Jelly captioned the post, “Noah got to experience every kid’s dream. @monsterjam y’all are absolutely amazing thank you again.”
