This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone in a wheelchair “crowd surf” their way up to the stage. It was at a recent Jelly Roll concert . . . and Jelly’s the one who made it happen. As you probably know, he loves having people come up and sing with him. When he saw the guy in the wheelchair, he stopped everything . . . but he also knew it would take a group effort. He said, quote, “We need to get him to the stage. We need a lot of help, we can’t drop the ball on this one . . . this is big. All hands on deck right here, boys, I appreciate y’all helping us.

[So] I open it up, and I see what I think is a black shirt.” But it turned out it wasn’t a shirt . . . it was a massive pair of BOXER SHORTS. He found more clothes in a closet that someone dropped off, and everything was huge. And that’s when he realized “Shay” is only one letter off from “Shaq” immediately texted pics to his friends.
