Jelly Roll leaves huge tip after treating fans at famous Little Rock diner to $11K chicken feast

LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS: Jelly Roll left a huge tip after surprising his Little Rock fans with a generous treat ahead of his sold-out show at Simmons Bank Arena. Earlier this week, the acclaimed rapper-turned-country star set the internet ablaze when he decided to give back to the Central Arkansas community in a big way. 

The singer-songwriter footed the bill for anyone who ate at Gus's Fried Chicken in Little Rock on Tuesday, October 22, totaling to over $11,000.

Fans were left in awe, expressing their gratitude and praising his kindness across social media platforms.

Jelly Roll invites Little Rock fans to Gus's Fried Chicken

In a video posted on his X account on Tuesday, Grammy-nominated singer Jelly Roll surprised fans by showing up at Gus's Fried Chicken in the River Market District where he bought fried chicken for everyone present.

In the video, he invited all his fans to join him at the restaurant and reminisced about his past performances at two music venues in the area.

“In case you missed the memo, here’s the short version. When I first started coming to Little Rock, Arkansas I played a place called Stickyz Chicken Shack. It had 200 people, I sold it out, I was so proud,” he shared.

He continued, “Next time I came I played a place called the Rev Room, right here behind me. Right next to it is a place called Gus’s Chicken, we ate Gus’s Chicken every time we played the Rev Room, I played that place 10 times.”

He wrapped up with, “If you come to Gus’s Chicken in Little Rock, Arkansas today the food is on me, baby, come get you a meal. This one’s on me to honor our sold out show at Simmons Bank Arena. To all y’all artists playing Stickyz and playing the Rev Room… Keep playing baby, keep playing baby!”

His generosity didn’t stop there; he also left a $7,500 tip for the staff.

Jelly Roll then performed before a sold-out crowd at Simmons Bank Arena, which seats 18,000 people, later in the evening.
