Jelly Roll<\/a> has been disinvited from performing at the Big Blue Bash, an annual event at Mar-a-Lago benefiting the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Foundation, after joking<\/a> at Donald Trump\u2019s expense while guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/p>\n

Kyle S. Reyes, owner of the law enforcement media outlet The Police Tribune, which is involved in organizing the event, explained the decision in a lengthy post<\/a> on X on Friday night. \u201cWhat I saw last week with this self-absorbed \u2018artist\u2019 bashing President Trump and Conservatives was not a man who walks in the footsteps of Jesus Christ \u2013 it was a man desperately seeking attention and relevancy from the very Godless crowd that has categorically rejected his preaching,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Reyes said an invitation had been sent to Jelly Roll on April 26th, though it is unclear whether the musician ever accepted it or formally agreed to perform. Nevertheless, Reyes said he was \u201cformally withdrawing the invitation for Jelly Roll\u201d and would instead book country singer Coffey Anderson. Other confirmed participants for the Big Blue Bash expected include Lou Ferrigno, Dean Cain, and Kevin Sorbo, as this year\u2019s event is themed \u201cAmerican Superheroes.\u201d<\/p>\n

While guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! last month, Jelly Roll made several cracks aimed at Trump\u2019s weight and the economy. But on the final night, he struck a more conciliatory, bipartisan tone. During an emotional monologue<\/a>, he said, \u201cHuman dignity isn\u2019t Republican nor Democrat. Compassion isn\u2019t left-wing, and mercy isn\u2019t right-wing. Pain and healing knows no partisanship. Hurting hearts are more important than poll numbers, and there are no boundaries or borders for broken families.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a famous quote that I think about all the time that says: \u201cWhile we are fighting monsters, we must be careful not to become a monster ourselves,\u2019 Jelly Roll added. \u201cWe may disagree. We may argue. We may vote completely differently. But let\u2019s try not to let the couple of things we disagree about make us forget the hundreds and hundreds of things we have in common. My daddy was right about that. And he was right about something else: it is never too late to do the right thing. And I hope that tonight, while he\u2019s looking down from heaven, I made him proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
