There are plenty of surprises inTulsa Kingseason 2, including a cameo from country rapper Jelly Roll. Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone) has experienced culture shock ever since leaving New York, butTulsa Kingseason 2is making his Western experience even more country. The show is becoming even more country in a few key ways, like through the ending of theTulsa Kingseason 2 premiere, which introduced new cowboy villains Cal Thresher and Bill Bevilaqua. Now, however, the show is getting even more Western through a cameo from Jelly Roll.
Jelly Roll has been a big name in the country music scene since 2021, when he released his first number one hit song, “Son of a Sinner.” Since then, he’s released a full album with another on the way, and he’s won seven music awards from organizations like the Country Music Association, the CMT Awards, and the People’s Choice Awards. Ahead of his 2024 album “Beautifully Broken,” Jelly Roll letTulsa Kinguse some of his new album’s songs, and he even got a chance to make a cameo appearance where he met Dwight and the rest of thecast ofTulsa King.

Sylvester Stallone’s time as an Oklahoma gangster is set to continue in Tulsa King season 2, and the new season is set to begin in September.
Jelly Roll Played Himself In Tulsa King Season 2
InTulsa Kingseason 2, episode 2, Jelly Roll made a cameo as himself.Jelly Roll stopped by at the Even Higher Plane, Bodhi’s weed dispensary, and got to meet several members of the gang, including Dwight himself. Dwight didn’t actually recognize Jelly Roll, even referring to him as “Jellyfish,” and the country rapper played along to convince Dwight that he was actually a janitor. It was a fun, playful moment, and it led directly into Jelly Roll singing one of his signature songs.
Jelly Roll Sang His Song “I Am Not Okay” In The Even Higher Plane
One of the improvements Bodhi made for the Even Higher Plane, along with introducing new products and a robot, was to install a recording booth in the dispensary.Jelly Roll made use of the booth inTulsa King, and he sang his hit single, “I Am Not Okay,” on camera. Jelly Roll’s song also paid off his joke with Dwight, as the gangster realized that he wasn’t actually a janitor. That wasn’t the only Jelly Roll song to make an appearance inTulsa Kingseason 2, though.
Jelly Roll’s “Get By” Was Used To Promote Tulsa King Season 2
BeforeTulsa Kingseason 2 was even released, Jelly Roll had a role to play.Jelly Roll’s other hit song, “Get By,” was used in the trailer forTulsa Kingseason 2 and in other material to promote the show. “Get By” was a particularly fitting song forTulsa Kingseason 2, given its lyrics and tone. Jelly Roll’s song mentions things like drinking, smoking and one line in particular mentions “If you’d seen all the hell I’ve seen, it’d make your stomach turn,” which seems to match Dwight’s backstory quite well.
Jelly Roll’s cameo inTulsa Kingseason 2 was a great moment for the show, and his music fits perfectly with the tone of the show. Whether it’s the high-energy of “Get By” or the somber tone of “I Am Not Okay,” which perfectly mirrors the troubles Dwight is dealing with, from his court case to the looming threat of Cal Thresher and Bill Bevilaqua, Jelly Roll’s songs mesh withTulsa Kingtremendously well. Jelly Roll was a welcome cameo, andTulsa Kingseason 2 surely has more surprises in store for the future.
