Rising country rapper Jelly Roll wants to musically collaborate with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Johnny Depp and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
During the Country Music Association Festival or CMA Fest, Jelly Roll candidly spoke about who he would like to share the music stage with.
“I’d like to get Johnny Depp to play on a record,” Jelly Roll told Fox News Digital during a press event at CMA Fest.
“Even if I didn’t say Johnny Depp played on it…just for me to know that Johnny Depp was playing the guitar on my record.”
Jelly Roll, who comes from a rap background, additionally told reporters at CMA Fest that his music has inspired celebrities like Johnson, and he didn’t expect them to form a special friendship.
The “Need a Favor” singer shared that Johnson reached out to him and said that his music helped him through a “tough time” in his life.

“The Fast & Furious” star took to Instagram last week to share Jelly Roll’s new album cover, “Whitsitt Chapel.”
“I’m so f’n proud of my brother @jellyroll615 for his latest achievement of his phenomenal new album… My guy is blowing up the industry and moving the crowds,” he captioned the post.
“He’s a real authentic artist who brings PASSION & MANA to his music – and he brings a joy and gratitude that can only come from experience and living the life.”

“Many years ago, before he blew up, his music helped me get a through a rough patch in my life. I’ll never forget it. Grateful,” he added.
Jelly Roll said he was mind-blown by “The Rock’s” post and his support for the country rapper.
In 2020, the “Son of a Sinner” singer shared a photo of himself drinking out of a bottle of Johnson’s tequila, Teremana.
“It is a Teremana Tequila Tuesday baby!… S/O to The Rock and the Teremana team for loading Struggle and Myself up with our favorite fuel for songwriting!”
