Jelly Roll | Before They Were Famous | Crazy Life of Jason DeFord

Jelly Roll is a 34-year-old rapper hailing from Antioch, Tennessee,
who has eaten at the restaurant chain known as the Waffle House
more times than he cares to count. And while it might not be the
only reason why Jelly Roll weighs around 450-pounds, it sure is a
contributing factor. In fact, Jelly Roll is such a big fan of this
fine establishment that when it came time to create his breakout
record, he chose to include Waffle House in the title -- a decision
that would wind up throwing his entire life into upheaval. But for
a man whose childhood included robbery, selling drugs, and large
amounts of time spent in and out of jail -- this was nothing but
another speedbump along the way to becoming one of the most popular
independent rappers around. Today I’m going to tell you all about
how he accomplished this remarkable feat.
