The Celebrity Beat…

There’s trouble brewing here in Tennessee...  And it’s all because of Jelly Roll.

Tennessee Volunteer fans are mad at Jelly because he just showed up wearing Vanderbilt gear at a men’s basketball game against them.  Now in the past he’s been all decked-out in Volunteers gear, rooting on the Vols.

So, whose side is he on?  Jelly’s a Tennessee native, but he didn’t go to either school… so, it makes sense that he likes both teams.

for those that don’t know, Vanderbilt is located in Nashville, where Jelly grew up and the University of Tennessee is in Knoxville, which is is about three hours away.  So it shouldn’t be that big of a deal if Jelly gives some love to his true home team.

But still Vol fans were out for blood.  Probably since Tennessee was ranked #6 in the nation, and Vanderbilt won in a shocker 76 to 75.

Check out one of the comments from a Vol fan after Jelly showed his love for Vanderbilt…  She said, “Don’t step foot near our campus or even utter the words rocky top, big guy.”

Here’s a video of Jelly on the Volunteers sideline last year.  And here’s a video of Jelly celebrating a big basket by Vanderbilt AGAINST the Volunteers.
