The crowd at Buckeye Country Superfest in Columbus, Ohio, was already fired up when Jelly Roll took the stage—but no one saw this coming. Mid-set, a mystery man dressed head-to-toe in black and rocking a matching ballcap casually walked out beside the country star. At first, he clutched a guitar, trying to blend in with the band. But when he grabbed the mic, fans realized who it was—and the arena erupted in laughter and cheers.
It wasn’t Jelly Roll’s long-lost twin. It was Kevin James!
Best known for The King of Queens, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and countless other hits, James joined Jelly for a playful, unexpected rendition of “Need A Favor.” The actor fully leaned into the moment—mimicking Jelly’s swagger, trading verses, and sending the crowd into a frenzy with his on-stage antics.
Fans couldn’t get enough of the twinning moment. Social media exploded with reactions:
👉 “I legit thought Jelly Roll got his tattoos removed for a second…”
👉 “When’s the next Twins movie coming out?!”

The hilarious cameo was just one highlight on Jelly Roll’s jam-packed tour schedule. He’s currently co-headlining the Big A* Stadium Tour* with Post Malone, hitting massive U.S. venues through July before heading overseas for a run of shows across Europe. The duo first teamed up on “Losers” from Post’s chart-topping country album F-1 Trillion—and their powerhouse partnership shows no signs of slowing down.
