In a hilarious and down-to-earth moment, Jelly Roll went to Walmart to buy his own new album—only to find that the employee who helped him had no idea who he was! The country rapper’s reaction, paired with the employee’s surprise, made for an unexpectedly funny exchange. It’s a reminder that even superstars like Jelly Roll can have relatable, everyday experiences—and this one is sure to make fans laugh!
For now, Jelly Roll can still go out in public without being widely recognized as a celebrity. That might seem surprising, and it’s likely to change soon. But as the video below shows, there are still plenty of people who aren’t familiar with the rapper-turned-country star—leading to some amusing fan interactions.
Currently on his Beautifully Broken Tour, the “Need A Favor” singer has been sharing behind-the-scenes moments with his fans through video updates. In his latest clip, Jelly Roll makes a trip to Walmart to see if he can find copies of his own CDs and vinyl records.
This isn’t the first time he’s done this. On a previous visit, he attempted to buy his Whitsitt Chapel album but was disappointed when the store didn’t have it in stock. This time, however, he had better luck, successfully finding Beautifully Broken on the shelves—along with a vinyl copy of Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion.
The highlight of the video comes when a Walmart employee helps Jelly Roll access the locked-up albums. Unbeknownst to the worker, he was assisting a well-known artist, as he had no idea who Jelly Roll was—and apparently, he doesn’t listen to country music.
The clip begins with Jelly Roll enthusiastically entering Walmart, expressing his love for the store:
“I love Walmart. They’re all set up the same. They’re like Waffle House. I know where everything is at.”
He then heads straight to the entertainment section (as any Walmart regular would know), where he finally spots Beautifully Broken—only to find it locked behind a security case.
That’s when a Walmart employee named Orlando steps in to assist. What happens next? You’ll just have to watch the video and see for yourself.
