Jelly Roll‘s teen daughter, Bailee Ann, is just starting to “get it” when it comes to the rapper/country star’s music and celebrity.
During a visit to Taste of Country Nights, On Demand, Jelly Roll peeled back the curtain on his daughter’s relationship with own music.
“Bailee Ann’s 15, and I think she just now kind of ‘gets it,'” the “Halfway to Hell” singer says. “I think even her relationship with music has changed in the last couple of years.”
“I think for a while she loved it, but she was like maybe a little bitter about it because it took her father away from her,” he admits of his career’s impact on his growing daughter, “So she looked at this thing like, ‘This thing’s really cool and it helps out family and all this other stuff, but this dude is also gone 200 days a year because of it.'”
One can only imagine, as a teenager, what it would be like to have a famous father. Jelly Roll says Bailee think’s it’s cool on the surface, but then when she realizes her dad is gone because of his job — because of his fame — that’s where bitterness could come in.
“Now, she’s like, ‘This is the coolest thing ever, I get to fly to see him in New York, I get to fly to see him in L.A.'” he says.
When it comes to his son, Noah, Jelly Roll isn’t really too concerned yet.
“Right now, my son’s young enough where he is like, ‘Is there a box I can play with?'” the star jokes.
