Country rapper and singer-songwriter Jelly Roll has unveiled the disciplined health and fitness regime that helped him shed 200 pounds, a transformation he says was driven not by fame or image, but by survival.
The Grammy-nominated artist, whose real name is Jason DeFord, shared that his journey began after a health scare during his 2023 tour forced him to rethink his lifestyle. 'It wasn't about vanity,' he said. 'It was about living longer for my wife, my daughter, and my future.'
