Even though millions of people are fascinated by stories about Swift, another one of Jelly Roll's anecdotes got a lot more attention. Instead, people were a lot more interested in the fact that Jelly Roll told Mongeau that he bailed on meeting Sean "Diddy" Combs.
"This is the first time in my career, ever, where they said, 'Do you want to meet such-and-such?' And I said, 'Yeah,' and I started walking that way, and as I was getting down the hallway — this is a true story — I said, 'Nah,' and went and got back in the car."
As Jelly Roll explained during his podcast appearance, he got the chance to meet Diddy when they appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the same day.

After Jelly Roll told Mongeau that he refused to meet Diddy, he began to try to explain the reasoning behind his decision. However, Jelly Roll admitted that he couldn't put his finger on the exact reason why he didn't want to meet the famous rapper. "I don't know what it was."

However, Jelly Roll was able to describe the moment that cemented his opinion that he didn't want to interact with Diddy. According to Jelly Roll, he tried to make a joke and decided that he didn't want to have anything to do with Diddy based on how the rapper's people reacted.
"I made a joke at first. I was like, 'Who don't wanna meet the guy that got Tupac killed?' And nobody thought that was funny. So, I was like, 'Oh, that's a bomb. Maybe I shouldn't go.'"
Jelly Roll went on to explain how Diddy's people reacted to his joke. Even though he thought he would get a laugh, Jelly Roll got a warning about making a joke about Tupac around Diddy instead.
"I was already skeptical because I thought I had a funny one and they were like, "I probably wouldn't say that.' You know what I mean?"

Jelly Roll is humbled by fans who sing his songs and attend his concerts, but one fan interaction is especially memorable for him.
As Jelly Roll was walking down a hall toward Diddy's green room after making that joke, he got a really bed feeling about the idea of meeting the rapper. In fact, Jelly Roll claimed during the podcast that he quickly concluded that he didn't even want to be pictured with Diddy.
"When we were walking, I was just like, 'I don't know.' It's just like, very seldom does things rub me in a way where I was like, 'I don't even know if that's a picture I want.'"
Unfortunately for Jelly Roll, it turns out that he has a history of being photographed with people he doesn't want to be associated with.
When Jelly Roll appeared on Tana Mongeau's podcast, he was accompanied by his wife Alyssa "BunnieXo" DeFord. From the second Jelly Roll brought Diddy up, BunnieXo made her feelings about the rapper clear by giving him an insulting nickname.
As Jelly Roll explained during his appearance on Mongeau's podcast, sometimes stars are just shoved together for photograph opportunities. Jelly Roll sadly has regrets about some photos of him that were taken in situations like that.
"Because, I've been in situations where, and I won't say this stuff, where I've, like, ended up in pictures with people I didn't want to be with. Just like, just because, you know, motherf**kers will walk a carpet around the same time and s**t happens. And they be like, 'Hey, y'all get together. And you're like, 'Yo, I don't really even know who this human is.'"
