Jelly Roll has admitted he is now 'terrified' of his bathroom scales after regaining weight over the holidays, telling fans in a new YouTube video that he has 'lost [his] way' on his long-running weight-loss journey, which began when he weighed more than 500lbs.
The country-rap star Jelly Roll, real name Jason DeFord, spent the past three years publicly overhauling his health after tipping the scales at over 500lbs in 2023. That transformation led to a high-profile Men's Health Winter 2026 cover shoot, where he revealed he had shed around 275lbs through diet changes and relentless training.
