Jelly Roll left fans divided with his In Memoriam tribute at the 2024 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The rapper,39,took the stage at the Peacock Theater with a performance of 'I Am Not Okay',though he left some confused with the song — which delves into the struggles of mental health and emotional turmoil — and others asking,'Why was he the choice for this?'
Jelly also offered a 'healing moment' for those mourning 'storytellers' at the event. He was backed by string musicians and introduced his own performance with a touching message.
'I believe that music is therapeutic. I believe that music can heal. I also believe that storytelling is just as cathartic. I hope this song can act as a healing moment for those who are mourning the storytellers we have lost this year.'
'If you are feeling lost or alone tonight then I want you to know that it's okay to not always be okay,' he added.
