Here’s Why Bunnie XO Fears She Might’ve Gotten Jelly Roll Banned From the Houston Rodeo

Bunnie XO just might have gotten husband Jelly Roll in a little trouble after an appearance during the “Son of a Sinner’s” performance during Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on Wednesday (March 6).

“Ya girl messed up,” Bunnie XO said in a TikTok video Thursday (March 7), detailing what happened. “Apparently, at the Houston Rodeo, you’re not supposed to cuss. You’re not supposed to say one bad word on stage, and if you do, they’ll turn the lights off, kick you out and never let you come back again. Nobody told me this.”

She went on to detail what happened when Jelly Roll invited her on stage in front of 75,000 people at NRG Stadium. “Husband and I had a conversation: ‘Baby are you coming onstage tonight?’ I said, ‘No. I’m already weird and awkward as it is … I’m not good with a microphone or with crowds and I stick to a script that we have done for the past frickin’ decade. Unbeknownst to me, my husband walks over in the middle of one of the songs and pulls me up onstage. And what do I do when he hands me the microphone? I hope you guys enjoy this little blunder over here.”

The video then goes to footage of the moment, as Jelly Roll brings Bunnie XO onstage and the crowd begins cheering when they notice her. The country star hands her the microphone, and asks her to greet the crowd. She then proceeds to shout into the microphone, “Houston, what the f–k is up?” further eliciting cheers from the audience. The video then zooms in on Jelly Roll’s face as he appears to turn slightly away from the camera. “The look of despair,” she captions the moment.

But the Dumb Blonde podcast host need not worry. A rep for the Houston Rodeo tells Billboard, “I can say that they are NOT banned and we would absolutely love to have both of them back. We are a family friendly show, but there isn’t a rule in place that bans anyone for cursing.”

Jelly Roll is far from the first country artist to have a cuss word fly during their set. Just days before, HARDY led the Rodeo Houston crowd in all chanting “F–K!” together during his own performance. He alluded to the assumed “no cussing” guideline by telling the crowd, “I figured if we just do a countdown and we all say it at the same time, maybe we’ll all just get in trouble together.”

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo runs through Sunday, March 17, with Eric Church closing out the event. Upcoming performers include Major Lazer, Lainey Wilson, Zac Brown Band and more.
