Although finding himself at the forefront of country music, Jelly Roll struggled to outrun his past. While only a teenager, the country singer was arrested for aggravated robbery. Deciding to change his life for the better, he now sells out concerts and tours all over the United States. But due to his record, he was often denied entry into other countries. Finally able to go international, Jelly Roll shared how a Louis Vuitton store in Sydney treated him like a criminal.

Taking his tour across the big pond, Jelly Roll found himself in Australia. Thrilled to be sharing his music with fans all over the world, he took some time to explore Sydney. And while loving the atmosphere and people, he suggested he was profiled when wanting to visit a Louis Vuitton store.
Posting a video of his experience on his Instagram Stories, Jelly Roll explained, “Hey man, the Louis Vuitton in Sydney legitimately just treated us like we were finna come in and rob that place.”
While not diving into exactly what happened when inside the store, Jelly Roll noted how it quickly reminded him of the past. “I have never been looked at more like a criminal. Listen, the last time I was looked at like a criminal this bad — I was an actual criminal this bad.”
