Did you hear that the singer Jelly Roll lost 200 pounds? It is true. This is not just a diet story; it is about a man who fought hard for his health.
Jelly Roll has always been honest about his past struggles with drugs and prison time. His music is about this challenging journey. Losing all that weight and shaving his beard for the first time in ten years made him look totally new.
They’re calling me Veggie Roll, y’all
His face changed so much that some fans on the internet started a silly, mean rumor. They joked that he was no longer the real Jelly Roll. They said he was replaced by a “clone.” This joke started because his famous face tattoos looked like they had moved when his cheeks got skinnier.
Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, did not get angry. She stood up for her husband by making fun of the rumor herself. Bunnie posted a video looking closely at his face and laughing. She wrote that people think her husband is a clone because he lost weight and his “tattoos do not match.” Her fans loved her joke, calling him “Veggie Roll, not Jelly Roll.”
This fight for a better life is real for both of them. Jelly Roll often sings about his mistakes and his efforts to heal. His song “Save Me,” from his album Ballads of the Broken, is a mighty cry for help and change.
