Jelly Roll Shares How He Has Lost 200 Pounds & What He Will Do When He Loses The Rest

Jelly Roll Talks His 200-Pound Weight Loss

Jelly Roll recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show. He discussed his time in jail, his love for the Titans football team, and what he will do after losing weight.

The singer has been on an extreme weight loss journey and even shared that he was over 500 pounds at one point!

When he walked onto the live show set, you could see that he was clearly smaller. Jimmy Kimmel asked him immediately what he was doing to look so good. Jelly Roll said,

“Dude, listen. I’ve been thinking about ways to make it sound cool, but I can’t. I’m eating a lot of protein and vegetables and walking. That’s what I’m doing.”

The singer is not using weight loss drugs or surgery. He is simply eating healthy and working out. He continued on to joke,

“We’re approaching the 200-pound mark. I would guess that I have lost an entire Jimmy Kimmel.”

Kimmel joked, “Or a 200-pound mark.” Then he asked the big question. “When do you stop, though? Do you have a number in mind?”

Jelly Roll responded,

“I do have a number in mind. So, for the non-fluffy people in the world, I would give you all an educational course here. To do all the fun stuff in life, you got to be under 250. So my goal is to skydive, ride a roller coaster, ride a bull, wrestle an alligator, and more. I have a list of things that I want to do.”

Jelly Roll also shared a hilarious story of how he used to watch NFL football games from his jail cell. He said,

“I actually had a skybox. I was on level two. I had a bird’s eye view, and I could see half the field and half the Jumbotron. So, depending on where they were, I could either watch it on the field or up on the Jumbotron.”

Jelly Roll Performed His Hit With Brandon Lake

Jelly Roll played his collaborative song on the same talk show with Brandon Lake. He even shared the song’s origin story.

“I love this song, man. I really connect with it. Behind the scenes, my manager sat me down one day and said, ‘Yo, there’s a Christian artist—are you interested?’ I was like, ‘Maybe.’ And he goes, ‘It’s a guy named Brandon Lake.’ I said, ‘Is it that “Hard Fought Hallelujah” song?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah.’ I said, ‘We have to do that song.’”
