Famous musician Jelly Roll has been uninvited from performing at an upcoming law enforcement fundraiser scheduled to take place at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.
Last week, Blue Lives Matter announced that they are removing Jelly Roll from the lineup at their second annual Big Blue Bash on November 17th.
This comes after the singer made some pretty vile remarks about President Trump during a late-night TV show appearance in late August.
In a lengthy post on X, Blue Lives Matter explained their decision:
We’re DONE. You’re FIRED. On April 26, 2026, we made the mistake of sending a formal invitation to country artist Jelly Roll Roll to perform at this year’s Second Annual Big Blue Bash at Mar-A-Lago, the home of President Trump.
The event is a fundraiser for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that takes care of the families of wounded and fallen officers.
Our organization, which owns the largest police news outlet in the world, is running the event. We’ll be joined by the heads of all of the federal law enforcement agencies, sheriffs, police chiefs and supporters.
This year’s theme is American Superheroes, and we’ll be joined by superheroes such as Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk), Dean Cain (Superman) and Kevin Sorbo (Hercules).
We’re formally withdrawing the invitation for Jelly Roll.
As the owner of the company, I’m a proud Christian who actually studies the Bible. I’m a husband and a father of four little girls.
And what I saw last week with this self-absorbed “artist” bashing President Trump and Conservatives was not a man who walks in the footsteps of Jesus Christ – it was a man desperately seeking attention and relevancy from the very Godless crowd that has categorically rejected his preaching.
Galatians 1:10 reads: “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
The man has lost his way. I don’t hate him. I actually genuinely pity him.
As a guy who used to be well over 300 pounds, I know how much it sucks being the brunt of people’s jokes. Some men struggle their entire lives not just with weight – but with shame and a desire to be socially accepted.
Others find our acceptance and love in the grace of Jesus.
@JellyRoll615 believes in second chances. As a felon, he’s been given one by the judicial system. He may not get one from his former audience. But what he really needs to seek now isn’t forgiveness from President Trump or those who he attacked… but rather from the very God whom he snubbed his nose at while trying to boost his ratings.
Jelly Roll – if you read this, let me say this: you and I share a mutual friend and a mutual spiritual guide – Pastor Joby Martin from the The Church of Eleven22. Pastor Joby preaches that we are meant to stand firm and act like men. 1 Corinthians 16:13: “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”
What you did wasn’t strong or in love. It wasn’t the actions of a man. It was the actions of a little boy seeking the approval of man. I’d encourage you to check your heart, brother. Don’t let the ways of this world lead you astray.
This isn’t about politics. This is about knowing who you are as a man. And you have much to learn.
I very much look forward to honoring God at this gala. I wish you could be a part of it… but I believe that time would be much better spent with you diving into the Bible and finding out who you REALLY are.
Previously, Jelly Roll appeared on Jimmy Kimmel, where he disgustingly bashed President Trump.
Jelly Roll, who has lost a ton of weight recently, called President Trump a “fat pig.”
He also made some other explicit remarks, which I won’t repeat.
But, if you want to see it for yourself, here’s the clip:
After receiving a massive wave of backlash for his sick insults, Jelly Roll doubled down, telling Trump supporters to stop listening to his music:
Frankly, it’s sad to see this singer stoop so low and backstab his fan-base like this.
But, what can I say?
Be careful what you wish for…
I don’t think any American patriots will be inviting Jelly Roll to perform or paying a single cent to listen to his music going forward.
Gunther Eagleman on X had a great take:
GOOD RIDDANCE.
Blue Lives Matter just pulled Jelly Roll off an upcoming Mar-a-Lago guest performer list for a law enforcement family fundraiser, and that is exactly the right call.
You do not get to attack Trump and America First for Hollywood applause, then expect a hero’s welcome at an event built for cops and their families.
Those rooms exist to honor people who put on a badge, not celebrities chasing the next industry nod.
Hollywood changes people. Loyalty still matters.
If you turn on the movement that lifted you up, do not cry when the invitation gets withdrawn.
In an update to their original announcement, Blue Lives Matter revealed that Jelly Roll has been replaced by country music singer Coffey Anderson.
Along with some patriotic songs, Anderson will be closing out the event with worship music praising God.

MAJOR update on our decision to WITHDRAW the invitation that we sent to @JellyRoll615 to perform at this year’s Second Annual Big Blue Bash at Mar-a-Lago!! We’ve selected a TRUE PATRIOT to honor those who serve… to pay tribute to the families of wounded and fallen officers… and to recognize Angel Families.
We’re honored to announce that @CoffeyAnderson will be joining as our live entertainment… following in the path of last year’s artist, @Aaronlewismusic.
Coffey won’t just be performing “Mr. Red White And Blue” and “America is My Hometown”. He’ll close out the annual gala with WORSHIP MUSIC honoring God.
In case you missed the backstory – here’s an overview of last night’s announcement.
The event is a fundraiser for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that takes care of the families of wounded and fallen officers. Our organization, which owns the largest police news outlet in the world, is running it. The heads of the federal law enforcement agencies will be there. So will sheriffs, police chiefs, and the people who still stand with them.
This year’s theme is American Superheroes. Lou Ferrigno, @Deancain, and @ksorbs are coming. That stage is for men who show up for the badge, not for men chasing applause from a crowd that already rejected their preaching.
I’m a Christian. I study the Bible. I’m a husband and a father of four little girls. What I saw last week was not a man walking in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. It was a man hunting attention from the same Godless crowd he used to warn people about.
Galatians 1:10: “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
I don’t hate him. I pity him.
He believes in second chances. As a felon, the courts gave him one. His former audience may not. What he needs now is not a handshake from President Trump. He needs to get right with the God he sidelined to boost a rating.
Jelly Roll, if you read this: you and I share a friend in Pastor Joby Martin at The Church of Eleven22 . Pastor Joby preaches that the Bible tells men to stand firm.
1 Corinthians 16:13: “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”
It’s time to act like a man. The invitation is withdrawn. The bash goes on. The families of the fallen still come first. And we will honor them… by honoring God first.

He’s a Classless PIG!
Disinvited, not uninvited.
Wow! Put that POS in his place.
Golden Corral?...............
Mister Pandering Pig found out that words have meaning and actions have consequences.
Who is Jelly Roll’s “fan base” anyway?
Agreed, as if his face tattoos aren’t enough proof of that……
At least he admits, “I’m not ok, but……..”
Liberal country music likers................
Jelly Roll appeared on Jimmy Kimmel.
A sign he’s on the skids time to bail.
I hope the rest of the cracker rapping hick hopper faux country music stars are paying attention. Real CW is dead except for the old stuff.
For him to have teamed up with the fetid, rotted Jimmy Kimmel will surely taint him with Kimmel’s stench for eternity.
Well played, Mr. Roll, well played. Take your saggy skinned self outta here!!!!!!
Is this the Trump Curse, or has Jelly Roll been Markled...?
Both...?
the fact he was on the performers list to begin with turns me off...
First and foremost, he is not a country singer. Secondly a pos.
Oh no. Not Jelly Roll. He is my favorite...uh....you know...the thing.
Jelly Roll is not a musician. Beethoven is a musician.
What about Jelly Roll Morton?
Typical Whitey Cultural Appropriation stealing his name.
Thank you.
