Jelly Roll uninvited from Mar-a-Lago law enforcement fundraiser

Musician Jelly Roll has been uninvited from performing at the second annual Big Blue Bash, a law enforcement fundraiser scheduled for November 17 at Mar-a-Lago. The event benefits the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the families of wounded and fallen officers.

Organizers, including Blue Lives Matter and The Police Tribune, announced the decision following remarks the singer made regarding President Donald Trump during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Kyle S. Reyes, owner of The Police Tribune, stated that the organization was formally withdrawing the invitation, citing the artist's comments about the President and conservatives.

The event, themed ‘American Superheroes,’ will feature other performers such as Lou Ferrigno, Dean Cain, and Kevin Sorbo. Country singer Coffey Anderson is expected to take the place of Jelly Roll in the lineup.
