Jelly Roll divides viewers with his In Memoriam performance at the 2024 Emmys: 'Why was he the choice for this?'

Jelly Roll left fans divided with his In Memoriam tribute at the 2024 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.

The rapper,39,took the stage at the Peacock Theater with a performance of 'I Am Not Okay',though he left some confused with the song — which delves into the struggles of mental health and emotional turmoil — and others asking,'Why was he the choice for this?' 

Jelly also offered a 'healing moment' for those mourning 'storytellers' at the event. He was backed by string musicians and introduced his own performance with a touching message.

'I believe that music is therapeutic. I believe that music can heal. I also believe that storytelling is just as cathartic. I hope this song can act as a healing moment for those who are mourning the storytellers we have lost this year.'

'If you are feeling lost or alone tonight then I want you to know that it's okay to not always be okay,' he added.
