Imagine thinking a pivotal career moment is just a prank. That’s precisely what country singer Jelly Roll experienced before sharing the stage with none other than the legendary Eminem. Not just any stage, but the grand setting of the “Detroit Live Concert,” held at Michigan Central Station on a vibrant Thursday, June 6th.
The evening took a thrilling turn when the two distinct music genres collided, creating an electrifying energy that captivated the audience.
They teamed up for a live rendition of “Singing Moment”, a performance that effortlessly combined Jelly Roll’s melodic country tones with Eminem’s iconic rap flow. The unique duet left the fans in awe and solidified the concert as a historical event in music collaboration history.
In an exclusive interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” the humbled country singer recounted the event.
“When I think about coolest moments of my career, right now at the top, there has to be this thing that I got to go sing with Eminem in Detroit,” reflected Jelly, 39, to the outlet. “I got to sing ‘Sing for the Moment’ with him, which is a record where he sampled Steven Tyler.I mean, just what an incredible night and I got to go do it in Detroit.It was unreal.”
Eminem’s team reached out to the “Need a Favor” singer, who recalled, “I couldn’t believe it.
I thought it was a joke until I met Eminem himself.”
The performance was a success — and an extremely exciting moment for Jelly, who told ET he felt “giddy, like a child” on stage.
At the Detroit event, Eminem also performed “Houdini,” “Welcome 2 Detroit” with rapper Trick Trick and “Not Afraid.”The “Stan” artist was supported in the audience by his daughter Hailie Jade, 28, and her new husband Evan McClintock, as well as Eminem’s other children Alaina Marie, 31, and Stevie Laine, 22.
