Jelly Roll — born Jason DeFord — said he cannot yet travel internationally due to « some legal puzzles » surrounding past felonies.
Jelly Roll will keep his concerts stateside for now — at least until a few legal hurdles are cleared.
The country singer — real name Jason DeFord — told Jon Bon Jovi for Interview magazine that although he’s “so excited” to travel internationally, his team needs to put together the “final pieces of some legal puzzles for me to get overseas.”
DeFord has been open about his felony convictions, one of which was for aggravated robbery after he used a gun to steal weed at age 16.
The 39-year-old felt optimistic that he would one day take his live performances to international audiences, although the timeline for that is still murky.
