Z100's JingleBall marks Jelly Roll's first ever visit to Madison Square Garden, and the singer and rapper spent nearly all day Friday soaking up the history of the World's Most Famous Arena.
Speaking to Elvis Duran backstage at the Mercedes-Benz Interview Lounge, Jelly Roll admitted that he got to the Garden earlier than any of the evening's performers, and some of the stage crew, he estimates.
"It's unreal, dude," he said. "I'm walking around like a big kid at Christmas. I went to catering just to go. Every floor they'll let me go to, I've went. I've been here since like 3. I came as early as they would let me. It's unreal. I got here before some of the union guys. That's how early I got here. ... They're like, 'Is he helping carry s--t?'"
If Jelly can be pried out of the Garden when the night's over, he says it's all up from here.
