In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jelly Roll, the multi-talented musician known for his food-inspired anthems, took the stage to share his incredible weight loss journey, his love for the Tennessee Titans, his role as a mentor on American Idol, and his newfound passion for farming.
Jelly Roll, who has been shedding the pounds through a dedicated regimen of healthy eating and exercise, proudly revealed that he is approaching the 200lb mark in weight loss. His goal? To experience all the fun activities in life that require being under 250lbs, like skydiving, roller coasters, bull riding, and even wrestling an alligator. While some might question the risks involved, Jelly Roll sees it as a way to embrace life to the fullest.
Speaking of his beloved Tennessee Titans, Jelly Roll couldn’t help but express both his disappointment and optimism for the team. As a die-hard fan, he revealed that he gave the team a pep talk before the season, which unfortunately did not quite bring the desired results. But Jelly Roll remains hopeful and has decided to stay away from the premises until the team secures at least one win this year.
As the conversation continued, Jimmy Kimmel and Jelly Roll discussed the musician’s unique experiences, including his time spent in juvenile detention and his youthful mischiefs, which he now looks back on with a mix of pride and gratitude for how far he has come.
Jelly Roll also shared his excitement about his international tour with Post Malone, aptly named the Big Ass Stadium Tour, and how he is navigating the challenges of traveling as a convicted felon, often requiring a lot of paperwork, lawyers, and prayers to ensure smooth entry into different countries.
But it’s not all music and tour life for Jelly Roll. He is also involved in American Idol as an artist and resident, providing support and encouragement to the contestants. He affectionately calls them his “little jelly babies” and feels a deep emotional connection to them, which sometimes makes it difficult for him when they are voted off the show.
Outside of his music career, Jelly Roll has also embraced the farming lifestyle and recently purchased a large piece of land. He plans to turn it into a youth development center for at-risk kids to experience a different side of life. And with his wife’s love for animals, their farm has become home to cows, donkeys, and pigs, which Jelly Roll assures, will never be eaten.
Jelly Roll‘s journey is a testament to the power of transformation, resilience, and pursuing one’s passions. From his weight loss achievements to his role in American Idol and his love for the Titans and farming, Jelly Roll continues to inspire others to chase their dreams and live life to the fullest.
