Jelly Roll talks a lot about his teenage daughter Baillie and appears with her on many a red carpet, but he doesn't often appear with his young son Noah Buddy Deford.
That all changed over the weekend when Jelly was in Los Angeles and took his boy to Nickalodeon's Kid Choice Awards, where Dad got slimed.

Jelly presented an award on the show and got slimed before he read the nominees. He posted the moment to Instagram, writing, "I took those losses privately so God could heal my inner child publicly (prayer hands emoji). Honored."
His over three million Instagram followers LOVED the post. Many of them commented, including one fan who said, "Love it!! What a great sport." Another die-hard wrote, "Slimmed…good man." One more fan commented, "Jelly Roll should have his own show on Nickelodeon. How awesome would that be?"
Recently, Jelly posted a long Instagram post about appearing on his childhood hero's album; that hero is Eminem.
Jelly posted a photo of a recent meeting of himself and the rap icon. He wrote, "I always say my childhood heroes lived somewhere between Willie Nelson and Eminem. As a teenager (and still today), I could recite every song on the Slim Shady album, the Marshall Mathers album, and The Eminem Show."
He continued, "When I bonded out of jail at 17 years old and was sneaking into cyphers and battles in Nashville they would also play the 'lose yourself' beat when I came out on stage at the freestyle battles. I related to every word Eminem wrote. I understood him and felt like he understood me, which was rare cause I spent most of my life feeling misunderstood."
"So you can imagine how I felt when I got that the call that Eminem would be sampling my song 'Save Me' on his new album. And for him to use the song to discuss the other side of what could’ve happened if he would’ve allowed his demons to win brought me to tears. If you haven’t heard it yet , check out 'Somebody Save Me' on Eminem’s new album 'the death of slim shady' special shout out to Paul Rosenberg , you’ve been nothing but kind to me and treated me like family and gave me opportunities I didn’t deserve, forever grateful."
