Country star Jelly Roll had Jennifer Hudson and Luke Bryan in stitches when he revealed his most cringe-worthy performance moment during Thursday’s episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show: “I pooped myself one time.” The 40-year-old singer confessed, “I was confident it was all air,” before realizing his unfortunate mistake mid-show.
The viral moment comes as Jelly prepares for major career milestones – headlining Stagecoach on April 26 (where he famously serenaded his daughter last year) and joining Post Malone’s Big Ass Stadium Tour in May. He’s also making waves as American Idol’s first-ever “Artist in Residence,” mentoring contestants alongside judges Bryan, Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie.
Jelly, who transitioned from rap to country, recently paid tribute to his late inspiration Toby Keith, earning praise from Keith’s son for his “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” cover. “He never knew it, but he was a mentor to me,” Jelly told Variety about the country legend.
