  I like Jelly Roll a whole lot. He's an amazing artist.

  He's very down to earth. He says it as it is. He says what he believes.

  You can feel his emotion, his
• 0:55
  raw nature just coming through all of his
• 0:58
  songs and it's like it resonates with
• 1:01
  so many people because so many people are going through the same exact
• 1:04
  thing and he just he puts
• 1:07
  it in a an amazing amazing musical
• 1:11
  ensemble he put he just does it amazingly i i like him a lot because he's very
• 1:16
  unique but this is kind of going against he's known as jelly roll and now he's
• 1:21
  lost 200 pounds i'm curious to see his whole of how he became Jelly Roll, how he was known as that.
• 1:28
  Was it for his big frame, his big size?
• 1:31
  Jelly, real name Jason DeFord, poke fun at himself on Thursday night's episode
• 1:35
  treating viewers to a parody song made up of insults hurled at him on the internet.
• 1:40
  And this is quote, I've never been on the one to let my haters get me down.
• 1:44
  So tonight I'm going to debut my brand new single and this entire song is going
• 1:50
  to be made up of comments that people have written about me online.
• 1:53
  Y'all want to hear it? he teased before breaking into the tune.
• 1:56
  Some of the digs that made up the jokey song were being forced to listen to
• 2:01
  Jelly Roll against my will and it sucks. I used to hate Jelly Roll.
• 2:05
  I still do. And Jelly Roll looks like a meth addict grabbed a microphone.
• 2:10
  That's hilarious. Okay. Look, you can see the difference in size. It's incredible.
• 2:15
  I don't know what he's doing exactly. If it's a Zempic or if it's a combination
• 2:20
  of just eating healthy, working out.
• 2:23
  Either way, It's amazing to see when people are able to take their health very seriously.
• 2:29
  And it's not to shame anyone ever because everybody, you work with what you got.
• 2:36
  Some people are blessed with better genetics than others. But it's amazing.
• 2:39
  It's inspiring to just see what he's done. And it can be inspiring for a lot of people.
• 2:43
  It says, the good-humored entertained also quoted a social media snub that said,
• 2:49
  Jelly Roll slimmed the F up, looking more like a fruit roll-up.
• 2:53
  Last December, DeFord unveiled a new health and fitness goal.
• 2:58
  In a conversation with his wife, Bunny XO, on her Dumb Blonde podcast,
• 3:03
  the music artist said he wants to land the cover for Men's Health magazine.
• 3:07
  I want to be on the cover of Men's Health by March of 2026.
• 3:11
  That's my new goal he announced five months ago that's awesome i mean because
• 3:15
  you got to have goals if you're going to go to the gym if you're going to go
• 3:17
  work out if you're even just going to go take a walk you got to have goals sometimes
• 3:20
  you got to have short-term goals and then long term long-term goals the star
• 3:25
  declared i want to have one of the biggest transformations
• 3:28
  he added that he was so glad to be having the discussion in front of an audience
• 3:32
  i did this publicly for a reason i want to be honest about my struggles with
• 3:36
  it with people he noted the The musician explained about body image and fame.
• 3:41
  I think that people that become as big as I became, when they lose the weight,
• 3:46
  they're kind of ashamed.
• 3:47
  I mean, you think of Adele. You think of Jonah Hill and the guy, I forget.
• 3:52
  I don't know his name, but he was on Remember the Titans.
• 3:55
  He was in a lot of movies. He was in American History X. He was really big,
• 3:59
  had that big frame, and he lost a lot of weight. And you do see...
• 4:04
  It is a different person. Sometimes it sometimes becomes a different person
• 4:08
  when they lose the weight. And I think overall it's, it's great.
• 4:12
  I mean, it's the main thing is that being healthy and feeling good.
• 4:16
  That's the biggest thing of it, of it all.
• 4:18
  I mean, I think of just going to work out or trying to be healthy when you,
• 4:23
  when you leave, it's just that euphoria you feel that feeling of just accomplishing
• 4:29
  something of, of just the rest of your day is going to feel good because of what you did.
• 4:34
  I think that's the biggest thing because it's a mental mindset.
• 4:37
  We have all these things in our life that just bring us down,
• 4:40
  stresses, pressures of life.
• 4:43
  And it's just, you would just want to push them away when you're pushing away weights.
• 4:46
  Well, it's like, it's a way to just alleviate, to remove, just relieve yourself
• 4:51
  of some of those anxieties that can kind of get built up because we are, we're made to be mobile.
• 4:57
  We're made to move around. were
• 4:58
  made to hunt and gathering and go out and just, and make things happen.
• 5:03
  And I think when you go out and tackling something like just going for a walk,
• 5:07
  running, or going to the gym, you feel so much better.
• 5:10
  And I think it's, it's just for him to have like that he would,
• 5:14
  he had amazing confidence. You could say just to be, do what he does at this time.
• 5:19
  I think he's going to even have more confidence and he's going to do even greater
• 5:22
  things knowing that he's accomplished this.
• 5:24
  And then he set that goal. He wants to be on men's health. That's a pretty.
• 5:28
  That's a pretty big goal and a tough thing to reach.
• 5:31
  But if anyone can do it and he's proven that he can just by losing the weight
• 5:35
  he has, that's pretty incredible.
• 5:38
  That's an awesome jelly roll. Keep at it, man. You're doing amazing things and
• 5:42
  people already love you and already love your music. You connect with so many
• 5:46
  people. Just keep going.
• 5:47
  Keep getting it done. All right. we'll leave it at that follow me on X and Instagram
