“Life Feels Better Knowing You Got My Back”: Machine Gun Kelly Pens Heartfelt Message to Jelly Roll and His “Kindred Soul”

Throughout his time on the stage, Jelly Roll not only proved himself to be one of the top names in country music but how much he loved his fans. There have been more than enough videos of the country star sharing a hug, handshake, or a conversation with a fan. He even put on an impromptu show recently when Morgan Wallen canceled his concert due to not feeling well. But besides entertaining fans, Jelly Roll also produced some hit collaborations over the years with stars like Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, and Brantley Gilbert. Recently, he stood beside Machine Gun Kelly for “Lonely Road.”

For fans of Machine Gun Kelly, they might remember that the performer and Jelly Roll once had some “beef” with each other. But that seems to be water under the bridge as the two teamed up for “Loney Road.” A song about two men willing to do whatever it takes to make ends meet for their families, the lyrics seem to reflect the singer’s troubled past. 

Loving what they produced together, Machine Gun Kelly took a moment to praise Jelly Roll on social media. Posting a picture of the two, the singer wrote, “Jelly you are living breathing badass and a kindred soul who has shown me the path of redemption and what it looks like to believe in yourself against all odds. From us beefing 12 years ago, and fast forward to us putting out what I believe will be the biggest hit of our careers I’m proud to call you my brother and life feels better knowing you got my back. This lonely road ain’t so lonely my friend.”
