In a recent appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” singer Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, addressed the backlash he received for making jokes about former President Donald Trump during his hosting stint. Jelly Roll defended his humor, stating, “Any U.S. president should be able to handle a few jokes, right?” He mocked Trump’s weight, claiming he had lost an entire “Donald Trump” through his 300-pound weight loss journey, and commented on Trump’s approval ratings, suggesting that “most of the country wants to do the same thing.” Jelly Roll further joked about physical fitness and made a crude remark about Trump’s anatomy.

The jokes provoked anger among Trump supporters, who expressed their disapproval on social media. One user labeled Jelly Roll a “traitor” and criticized him for betraying the “blue-collar, working-class ‘one of us’ image” that his fans associated with him. Another user called the jokes “attacks” on Trump, deriding Jelly Roll as an “Ozempic enthusiast” and a “complete fraud.” In response to the threats from fans to stop listening to his music, Jelly Roll encouraged them to “go right ahead,” reflecting on his unconventional path from a former felon and drug dealer to a Grammy-winning artist with tattoos and a significant weight loss transformation.
