US artist Jelly Roll has claimed he was treated “like a criminal” at a popular store in Sydney.
The Nashville singer has been Down Under performing a string of gigs, including at Strummingbird Festival and appearances at Harvest Rock and Sunburnt Country.
He decided to take a break from touring for some retail therapy on Wednesday, but things took a turn when the star walked into Louis Vuitton.
Taking to Instagram to share his experience, the popular singer alleged the staff at the store acted like he was trying to steal something and made him feel unwelcome.
“Hey man, the Louis Vuitton in Sydney, legitimately just treated us like we were finna (sic) come in and rob that place. I have never been looked at more like a crim. Listen, the last time I was looked at like a criminal this bad … I was an actual criminal this bad.”
Fans rushed to the comments to poke fun at the singer’s experience with Sydney retail staff.
One remarked, “Welcome to Sydney,” followed by a succession of laughing emojis.
A second wrote: “Sydney, the home of ‘Sorry, no neck tats!’”
News.com.au has reached out to Louis Vuitton for comment.
It comes after Jelly Roll publicly confirmed that he had cheated on his wife, Bunnie XO.
“I don’t talk about this publicly at all, but one of the worst moments of my adulthood was when I had an affair on my wife,” he admitted on an episode of the Human School podcast.
Jelly Roll — born Jason Bradley DeFord — said that he has worked hard to “repair their relationship.”
“The repair has been special. And we’re stronger than we could have ever been,” he shared.
The rapper’s transgressions occurred when he was spending time with people who were a bad influence.
“I was hanging around a bunch of people that were cheating on their wives,” he said. “When I was doing cocaine, I was hanging around a bunch of people that were doing cocaine. When I was drinking a lot, I was hanging around a lot of people that were drinking a lot.”
Jelly, who is now sober from hard drugs, explained that he was keeping “sh***ty” people around him because he was proud of having “long-standing friendships.”
“I used to be proud of longstanding friendships just because they had a number attached to ‘em,” he said.
Adding: “Horrible humans. But I would just be proud to say, ‘That dude’s been with me 12 years.’”
