Jelly Roll Gets Emotional Over Daughter’s Addict Mother
It has been a long road for Jelly Roll as he dealt with addiction and the struggles that come along with it. More so, he was also incarcerated several times, even locked up when his daughter, Bailee, was born. It took a very long time for him to gain her mother’s trust so he could have his own time with his daughter. Eventually, he more than proved himself. Then, Bailee’s mom was struggling way too much, so Jelly and his wife, Bunnie Xo, took over. They gained full custody, and Bailee has grown into a lovely teenager.
She loves her father and Bunnie, with them capturing her milestones and incredible moments. Bunnie took her to pick up her first car and was there for her first big date. She even assisted Bailee’s boyfriend with asking her to prom. They have come leaps and bounds, but now, Jelly is opening up about addiction and his daughter. His ex and her mother was just arrested on drug charges. Jelly got very candid and emotional about the impact this has had on Bailee. He appeared on The Pivot podcast and noted that her addiction had occurred since Bailee’s birth.

Jelly Roll shared this about his ex and what she was going through:
My child’s mother has struggled with drug addiction since my daughter’s been born pretty much. The addict is not the victim in that situation. The family is.
He attempted to put it all in perspective for those who were watching and listening. Jelly added that he was told to check in on his daughter after news broke that Bailee’s mom was arrested again:
I’ve seen the effect that it’s had on her. I’ve got a 16, almost 17-year-old upstairs and I’ve seen the effect that it’s had — it’s truly affected her life.
The Sadness
Jelly Roll explained that his daughter was broken over what happened to her mother and the arrest that transpired. Breaking down, Jelly had this to say about Bailee’s reaction to her mom’s mugshot:
This is a 16, 17-year-old that knows her mother is a drug addict, but like, her having to see the mugshot of her mother with just meth ate up on her face.
After fans and followers heard him on the podcast, they were so proud of him and the message he was spreading:
- Now that’s a father that truly loves his children, his bless you Jelly we love you❤️❤️❤️
- Jelly Roll is a damn good man. This dude has been through it!!👏🏻 I’m glad to see him where he is now. Who knows how many people he has helped ♥️
- I love Jellyrolls tenderness and heart ❤️❤️
This is something no child should ever go through. Fortunately, Bailee has the love of her father and Bunnie Xo to keep her going.
