“I Cannot BELIEVE They Let Me In Canada!” — Jelly Roll’s Emotional Tour Stop Has Fans Laughing, Crying, and Cheering
Country-rap sensation Jelly Roll has never shied away from showing the world who he truly is — raw, real, and completely unfiltered. But in his newest video titled “I Cannot BELIEVE They Let Me In Canada,” the breakout star takes fans on a journey that’s more than just music. It’s a vulnerable, hilarious, and unforgettable look at his first international tour stop — and it’s resonating in a way few artists ever manage.
With over 268,000 views and climbing, the video has become an instant fan favorite, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into his Beautifully Broken Tour as it crosses into Canada. What started as a chaotic travel day quickly transformed into a heartfelt experience that had fans cheering — and crying — in the front row.
From Felon to Frontman — “I NEVER Thought I’d Be Allowed In”
For Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord, stepping into Canada was more than just a tour stop — it was a personal milestone. Due to his well-documented criminal past and time in prison, he has faced challenges traveling internationally.
“I honestly didn’t think they’d let me in,” Jelly Roll admits in the opening of the video, pacing outside the airport terminal with his signature mix of anxiety and humor. “They stamped my passport and I about cried on the spot.”
That emotional honesty has always been part of his brand — and it’s what fans love most about him. The video follows his first 48 hours in Canada, from navigating customs to discovering that a Tim Hortons double-double really does live up to the hype.
The Beautifully Broken Tour — Canadian Edition Hits Different
Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken Tour has already been celebrated in the U.S. for its deeply personal storytelling, genre-bending music, and intimate connection with fans. But the Canadian leg hit differently — both literally and emotionally.
The video captures moments of raw emotion backstage. In one powerful scene, Jelly Roll pauses before stepping out to perform in Toronto, holding back tears.
“This ain’t just music to me,” he says to the camera. “This is redemption. This is me getting to stand in front of thousands of people in a country I never thought I’d even be allowed in… and they’re singing my words like they lived my pain too.”
It’s that shared sense of struggle and survival that makes his performances feel more like a gathering of souls than a concert.
Chaos, Laughter, and Canadian Love
Of course, no Jelly Roll tour would be complete without a few hiccups and hilarious moments. The video delivers in full:
-
A lost luggage debacle in Montreal (spoiler: his wife Bunnie was not amused).
-
A backstage singalong with local opening acts that turned into an impromptu therapy session.
-
Jelly’s attempt at French — “Je m’appelle Jelly Roll, and je suis hungry.”
The humor lands because it’s real. No pretense, no polishing — just a guy who’s grateful for every second of this wild ride.
Fan Reactions: “This Is the Realest Tour Doc We’ve Ever Seen”
The video quickly went viral, drawing reactions from fans across North America. Thousands flooded the comments section with praise, gratitude, and personal stories.
“As someone who’s struggled with addiction and been told I’d never go anywhere — this video hit me in the gut. Thank you for being so damn real.”
— @EmilyJ92 on YouTube
“Jelly Roll just walked into Canada like it was no big deal, and left the whole country in tears.”
— Twitter/X user @CanuckCountrySoul
Several fans also noted that his humility stood out in an industry often filled with ego.
More Than Music — A Movement
The Beautifully Broken Tour is more than a tour — it’s a movement of second chances, resilience, and community. Jelly Roll’s openness about his past struggles with the law, addiction, and mental health has made him one of the most relatable and inspiring artists on the road today.
With his Canadian debut now behind him, Jelly Roll is continuing to travel across North America, bringing his music — and his message — to fans who see themselves in his story.
And if the viral success of “I Cannot BELIEVE They Let Me In Canada” is any indication, it’s a story the world is eager to keep watching.
