On Tuesday, the country music artist released a video of himself outside Gus’s Fried Chicken in Little Rock, Arkansas, on social media platform X, which was formerly known as Twitter. He said that he was giving away free meals to anyone who came to the business that day.
He wrote, “Free food for anyone in downtown Little Rock,” as the video’s caption.
Reminiscent of his early career, the singer of “Need a Favor” began the music video by stating that he was “so proud” to sell out the Stickyz Rock’n’Roll Chicken Shack, a small venue in Little Rock, where he would perform.
The next time I came I played a place called the Rev Room right here behind me. Right next to it is a place called Gus’s Chicken. We ate Gus’s Chicken every time we played the Rev Room. I played that place ten times. If you come to Gus’s Chicken in Little Rock, Arkansas today, the food is on me, baby. Come get you a meal.”
Looking back on how far he has come, Jelly Roll told his followers he chose to offer the community in Little Rock free meals in order to “honor our sold-out show in Simmons Bank Arena,” which seats 18,000 audience members.
