Eminem and Jelly Roll linked up for a surprise performance of Aerosmith's “Sing for the Moment” by Slim Shady at Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central on Thursday night (June 6).
Before taking the stage together, the Detroit legend and the country star linked up outside the Michigan Central Station venue for an emotional interaction shared by Bunny XO, who is married to Jelly Roll. She posted the exchange between Em and her husband on TikTok for the world to see. “When the goat meets KATA,” she captioned the clip to the soundtrack of Eminem's anthem “My Name Is.”
The exchange finds Jelly Roll in awe as Em approaches him, and he takes off his hat out of respect for the rap icon before they pass out.
Their voices aren't heard in the clip, but it looks like Jelly Roll was giving Eminem his flowers as a longtime fan. They rest again before going their separate ways, with Em wearing a black hooded jacket and sunglasses.
Fans really enjoyed seeing Em and Jelly Roll hook up before making magic on stage and let it be known in Bunnie's comments section.
“I saw someone say 'Eminem helped us through childhood and gel roll is helping us through adulthood,'” one person wrote. Bunnie responded to the comment with the shoutout and “100” emojis.
Another noted: “He took his hat off to shake Eminem's hand, he's so respected even though he's also a celebrity.”
Some are hoping that this could eventually lead to a collaboration between Em and Jelly. “Can we get a Jelly Roll with an Eminem song soon, please,” they asked.
Eminem, who co-produced the concert with his manager Paul Rosenberg, wowed the crowd when he performed a four-track mini-set that included the live debut of his new single “Houdini,” which fans hope will be winning a high debut on the Billboard Hot 100.
Em was joined by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and also performed the aforementioned “Sing for the Moment” with Jelly, along with the Trick Trick-assisted “Welcome 2 Detroit” and “Not Afraid.”
