Country music artist Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie XO, experienced a harrowing incident when their private plane was forced to make an emergency landing while en route to the CMT Music Awards in Austin, Texas. Bunnie took to TikTok to share the terrifying news, revealing that their plane had stopped mid-air due to a malfunction and had to turn around for an immediate landing.

In a video captioned, "CMT I swear we're coming," Bunnie expressed her disappointment with a crying emoji. Although they eventually landed safely, Bunnie later updated her followers, mentioning the possibility of having to board the same plane again for their journey to the awards show.

The couple, married for six years, was traveling from Nashville, Tennessee, to Austin for the much-anticipated 2024 CMT Music Awards, where Jelly Roll had received three nominations this year. Known formally as Jason DeFord, Jelly Roll rose to mainstream popularity in 2022 with his hit tracks "Need a Favor" and "Son of a Sinner."

This emergency landing incident follows Jelly Roll's recent "reconstructive" surgery on his mouth. The musician replaced his 20-year-old veneers and documented the procedure on TikTok. Speaking about the surgery, Jelly Roll expressed excitement about the new teeth, stating that they made him feel "sexy" and that he finally felt like he was taking care of himself.

Throughout his career, Jelly Roll has been open about his struggles with substance abuse. Earlier this year, he testified in front of U.S. lawmakers regarding fentanyl use, detailing his personal journey of overcoming addiction and finding redemption through music. Reflecting on his past, Jelly Roll emphasized the importance of using his experiences to help others and give back to his community.

As Jelly Roll and Bunnie prepare to attend the CMT Music Awards, fans eagerly await their arrival, hoping for a safe and smooth journey as they showcase their talent and celebrate the country music industry's achievements.
