Jelly Roll Was Once Sued By Waffle House
Jelly Roll is loved by nearly everyone, so it comes as a bit of a surprise that he was once sued by Waffle House.
Back in 2013, Jelly was an underground rapper and put out a mixtape called, “Whiskey, Weed, and Waffle House”.
Needless to say, the restaurant was a little upset.
“I used the Waffle House logo on the CD cover for the mixtape, and that’s a big no-no . . . I didn’t know this at the time. And they sent me a cease-and-desist letter and they froze my YouTube channel up. It was a big debacle.”
You’d think this might bother most people, but not Jelly.
“I was calling everybody, like, we’re popular! Waffle House is trying to sue us! I [was] 450 pounds . . . I should have sued Waffle House 10 years ago. Do you know how many All-Star Breakfasts I have bought in my life? I might’ve stopped at 330!”
In the end, Jelly Roll settled the case for $10,000, after printing around that many mixtapes for free.
Then they changed the name of the album to, “Whiskey, Weed, and Women” and, also put a “cease and desist” logo on the cover.
Meanwhile, Jelly Roll just announced “The Beautifully Broken Tour” with 37 concert dates.
The tour is set to open in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 27th, and will close in Charlotte, North Carolina on October 27th.
They will hit up 20 states, and perform in some major sports arenas around the U.S. including a stop at Madison Square Garden on September 27th.
Opening for Jelly are Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay.
