A Canadian comedian is shaking things up with claims that Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo's divorce is nothing more than a grand publicity ploy. Nicole Arbour, who has had a history of beef with the country star, didn't hold back. She dropped the bombshell that the couple's split, filed on May 18, is just a ruse. "Jelly Roll and his wife will create a PR scandal," Arbour speculated. "I believe this divorce is. They create a giant scandal with the press that they get off of, then launch something." This isn't the first time Arbour has tangled with Jelly Roll. Back in 2021, she released a diss track titled “Cosplay Christian,” and the tensions have simmered ever since.
“They made up some big scandal about me stealing his wallet, which had never happened, and launched a single with Jelly Roll and Ryan Upchurch together.”
The drama doesn't stop there. Arbour has tangled with Jelly Roll's former collaborator, Ryan Upchurch, too. She filed a lawsuit against him for copyright infringement over songs she claims they co-wrote. Though the case was dismissed, it ignited a very public and heated feud. Arbour even revealed to the New York Post, "He had some feelings, and they weren’t reciprocated in the way that that guy would have liked.” Apparently, Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo jumped into the fray, back in those days when Upchurch left his wallet at Arbour's place. The comic alleges they spun a tale about her stealing it, and that was only the beginning.
Bunnie Xo, according to Arbour, was instrumental in stirring up controversies, from fabricated false rape charges to spreading rumors to boost Jelly Roll's career. Arbour claims that Bunnie Xo's antics were part of a pattern to get media attention. She also dropped a hint that the couple's relationship was fraught with financial issues. According to her, "People in his team told me that he started losing brand deals, and the ticket sales for his concerts went right down if they didn’t have to be completely canceled." While these claims remain speculative, the couple has not cited financial troubles as the reason for their split, nor confirmed Arbour's explosive allegations.
Despite all the swirling chaos, Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo's separation was officially made public on June 15. While the real reasons behind their breakup remain under wraps, one thing is certain - Nicole Arbour isn't backing down from her claims anytime soon. The saga between these celebrities continues to capture public interest, and we're all on the edge of our seats to see what unfolds next.
