Country music star Jelly Roll revealed he once declined an invitation to meet with rapper and music mogul P Diddy.
During an interview with Tana Mangeau on the CANCELLED podcast, the singer said he was given the opportunity to meet Diddy when he and the rapper were star guests on Jimmy Kimmel.
“I will tell this story, and I’ll probably get in trouble for it. Not harping on it cause it’s a hot topic. But I did Kimmel the day Diddy did Kimmel,” he said.
“This is the first time in my career, ever, where they said, ‘Do you want to meet such-and-such?’ And I said, ‘Yeah,’ and I started walking that way,” he said.
“And as I was getting down the hallway — this is a true story — I said, ‘Nah,’ and went and got back in the car,” he added.
However, Jelly Roll said he became nervous about the meeting after he cracked a joke about Diddy being behind the murder of Tupac.
“I don’t know what it was, and I made a joke at first, I was like, ‘Who don’t wanna meet the guy that got Tupac killed?’” Jelly Roll said.
“Nobody thought that was funny. So I was like, ‘Ooh that’s a bomb.”
“Maybe I shouldn’t go do this anyway.’ So I was already skeptical. Cause I thought I had a funny one.”
“When we were walking, I was like, I don’t know. Very seldom [do] things rub me in a way where I was like, ‘I don’t even know if that’s a picture I want,’” he added.
“I’ve ended up in pictures with people I don’t want to be with.”

As we highlighted earlier this month, the Feds raided Diddy Combs’ LA and Miami mansions as a part of an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation.
Combs left for the Caribbean in his private jet; however, it’s unclear whether he was aboard the jet when it was last tracked to Antigua.
Suge Knight, the music executive serving a 28-year sentence in California state prison for manslaughter, warned embattled hip-hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs his ‘life’s in danger’ because of what he knows.
According to an audio clip obtained by TMZ, Knight warned Diddy that there are people out there who are “going to get you if they can.”
“Your life’s in danger cause you know the secrets, who’s involved in that little secret room you guys are participating in … you know they’re going to get you if they can,” he said.
According to Knight, the accusations against Diddy are bad for the industry.
“It’s a bad day for hip hop, for the culture,” he said.
