WATCH: Jelly Roll Shares Comedic Video Of His Airplane Mishap

Jelly Roll, known for his humor and self-deprecating charm, couldn’t resist poking fun at himself after taking an unexpected tumble down the steps of a private airplane. 

The “SHE” singer took to TikTok to share a recap of the hilarious mishap on Tuesday evening (Oct. 10).

“Storytime With Uncle Roll”

“If you want to see me bust my a**, keep watching this video,” he began before sharing the backstory to what happened. “Storytime with Uncle Roll. So the other day I had a flight and they parked the bus right outside the plane. It was the coolest thing ever. So I was like ‘y’all this is crazy I’m going to videotape me walking straight from the bus to the plane. This is going to be the coolest thing ever’ and I did.”

He shared a clip of that moment, which showed him exiting his tour bus and walking onto the airplane tarmac, unveiling a private jet awaiting his arrival. Then on his way home from the undisclosed location 

“So on the way back I was like ‘I think I should film the same thing’ because the bus was parked outside the plane again. I was like now, I’m going to do it walking from the plane to the bus,” he explained. 

Falls Down The Stairs

The video then cuts to the “NEED A FAVOR” singer walking down the steps of the private aircraft. As Jelly Roll made his way down the steps, he took a tumble down the final two steps. His fall prompted concern from the others accompanying him on the flight.

“Oh sh*t, yea, I think I broke something,” Jelly Roll shouted in pain.

The clip went on to show the pilot picking up his phone as Jelly Roll was briefly seen laying on the ground saying, “I don’t know what [it was that I hurt], but it’s hurtin’ boy.”

He explained that everything hurt, including his “Ankle, arm, shoulder, everything you can hurt in that little scenario.”
