The connection between the two artists runs deeper than just the stage. Eminem sampled Jelly Roll’s “Save Me” on his 2024 album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), flipping it into the track “Somebody Save Me.”
Jelly Roll shared his reaction on Instagram, writing, “I always say my childhood hero’s lived somewhere between Willie Nelson and Eminem… I related to every word Eminem wrote. I understand him and felt like he understood me, which was rare cause I spent most of my life feeling misunderstood.”
